Beef and Beer Chili Instant Pot Recipei
A delicious beef and beer chili made in the Instant Pot tastes like it simmered all day, but is done in just over 30 minutes.
Servings: 7
Calories: 391kcal
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 pounds lean ground beef 85 - 93% lean
- 1 Tbsp canola oil
- 29 oz. can red beans I used Goya small red beans
- 1 1/2 cups bell pepper diced (red, orange or yellow)
- 1 cup poblano pepper diced
- 1 1/2 cups celery diced
- 1 1/2 cups yellow onion diced
- 1 Tbsp garlic minced
- 2 1/2 cups diced tomatoes canned
- 1 Tbsp ground cumin
- 4 Tbsp chili powder
- 4 tsp. kosher salt
- 3 tsp. ground black pepper
- 1 bottle dark beer I used Shiner Bohemian Black Lager
Instructions
- Choose the "Sauté" setting on the Instant Pot and let it heat up. Cook the ground beef until it is no longer pink. Shut the Instant Pot off, remove the pot from inside and drain the fat from the beef.
- Put the pot back inside and again choose "sauté". Add canola oil, peppers, onions, garlic, celery, chili powder, cumin, salt and pepper to the beef. Sauté the vegetables for a few minutes, just until they begin to brown. Press "cancel" to shut off sauté function.
- Add the tomatoes, beans and beer. Put lid on, make sure that the lever is set to "sealing" and press "manual". Set timer to 30 minutes.
- The pressure will automatically reduce on its own after the cooking time has finished. To speed up the process, move the lever to "venting". Use a kitchen towel to protect your hand from the steam, if you are concerned you might get burned.
Notes
This serves 6 VERY generously, 7 "normal" servings or 8 servings with copious amounts of cheese, avocado, sour cream and crackers ;)
Bell peppers - I prefer red, orange or yellow. If you like green peppers, feel free to use them, but it will slightly alter the taste of the chili.
