  4. Pressure cook chili: Lock lid and set Instant Pot to Pressure Cook on High for 14 minutes.
  5. Release pressure: Follow manufacturer’s instructions for a slow release of pressure, then remove lid carefully.
  6. Serve: Divide chili among bowls and serve with your choice of shredded cheddar, sour cream, Fritos or tortilla chips, and sliced scallions as toppings.

Notes

  • Use low-sodium beef broth to control the salt level.
  • Feel free to substitute ground turkey or chicken for a leaner option.
  • If you prefer spicier chili, add extra cayenne or some chopped jalapeños.
  • This chili tastes even better the next day, making it great for meal prep.
  • To make it vegetarian, omit the meat and add extra beans and vegetables like bell peppers and zucchini.
