Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups dry kidney beans rinsed and sorted
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 medium onion chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic pressed or minced
  • 3 ½ cups fresh diced tomatoes or 28 ounce can
  • 4 cups beef broth
  • 2 tablespoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon paprika

Instructions

  • Brown ground beef and onion in inner reservoir of Instant Pot using the sauté setting. Drain excess grease.
    1 pound ground beef, 1 medium onion
  • Add all remaining ingredients. Stir to combine.
    1 1/2 cups dry kidney beans, 3 cloves garlic , 3 1/2 cups fresh diced tomatoes, 4 cups beef broth, 2 tablespoon chili powder, 1 teaspoon pepper, 1 teaspoon sea salt, 1 teaspoon ground cumin, 1 teaspoon paprika
  • Close the Instant Pot lid and turn pressure valve to seal. If you've soaked your beans for 6-8 hours, cook on manual high pressure for 22 minutes. If you have not soaked the beans, cook on manual high pressure for 28 minutes.
  • Allow beans to sit under pressure for ten minutes, then use a manual pressure release to release the rest of the pressure; remove the lid. Stir the beans and serve.

Notes

Serve this homemade Instant Pot chili with your favorite toppings such as sour cream, cheese, jalapeno peppers, and organic tortilla chips.

To soak or not to soak?

The Instant Pot makes quick work of dried beans. This electric pressure cooker can fully cook dry beans quickly, even if you opt not to soak them.
That said, soaking beans for eight hours or overnight is a good idea when making most bean recipes. Soaking beans helps eliminate some of the phytic acid in beans. Phytic acid is considered an “anti-nutrient.”
