Turn on your Instant Pot and press the “Saute” button. Add the oil when the display reads “HOT”.
Add the onion and cook for 3 – 4 minutes to soften.
Add the ground beef and garlic. Cook until meat is no longer pink. If you do not have all of your ingredients ready to go in all at once, press the Cancel button so you don’t burn your chili!!
Add cumin, chili powders, salt & pepper, stir.
Stir in the tomatoes and beans. Add the Guinness (or beef broth) and stir to combine.
Press the “Cancel” button. Secure the lid and make sure the pressure knob is in the “Sealing” position.
Press the “Bean/Chili” button OR the “Manual” button and use the – and + buttons to adjust the time to 20 minutes on High Pressure.
When the pot beeps, allow the pressure to release naturally for 15 minutes. Carefully turn the knob to release the remaining pressure and remove the lid.
Ladle the chili into bowls and serve garnished with sour cream, shredded cheese, and cilantro or green onions {if desired}.
Notes
If you do not have a Bean/Chili or Manual button, use the Pressure Cook button.
This recipe is made in this 6 quart Instant Pot. I do not own a 3 or 8 quart so I do not know what substitutions may need to be made. Sorry.
For spicier chili, increase the amount of chipotle pepper or add Tabasco.
Always check for seasoning BEFORE you serve! I do not use a lot of salt, I don’t like the taste, and I do not like spicy food. Make your adjustments based on your own tastes.
The type of beans do not matter, use your favorites. I always use Bush’s beans in case you are wondering.
If you do not want to use alcohol, substitute beef broth.
