Instant Pot Smoky Beef Chili

A rich, smoky chili loaded with tender ground beef, beans and a deep chili-spice backbone that tastes like it simmered all day.

65 min6 servingsEasyTex-Mex

Ingredients

  • 1,5 lb ground beef
  • 1 cup yellow onion, diced
  • 3 tbsp garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 tbsp chili powder
  • 1 tbsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 800 g crushed tomatoes
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 2 cup kidney beans, drained
  • 2 tbsp tomato paste

Instructions

  1. 1

    Using Sauté mode, brown 1.5 lb ground beef with the diced onion until no pink remains, breaking it up as it cooks.

  2. 2

    Stir in garlic, chili powder, cumin and smoked paprika; toast 1 minute until fragrant.

  3. 3

    Add crushed tomatoes, beef broth, kidney beans and tomato paste; scrape the bottom to deglaze.

  4. 4

    Seal the lid and pressure-cook on High for 15 minutes.

  5. 5

    Let pressure release naturally for 10 minutes, then quick-release the rest.

  6. 6

    Stir, adjust seasoning and simmer on Sauté 5 minutes to thicken.

Chef's tip

Toast the dry spices in the fat for a full minute before adding liquid — blooming them unlocks a deeper, rounder chili flavor.

Suggested pairing

Serve with a cold amber lager and a scoop of sour cream over cornbread.
