Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 medium onion, diced
• 1 medium bell pepper, diced
• 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tablespoons chili powder
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 14 ounces canned diced tomatoes
• 8 ounces canned tomato sauce
• 15 ounces canned kidney beans, rinsed and drained
• 15 ounces canned black beans, rinsed and drained
• 1 cup beef or chicken broth
• 1 cup corn kernels (optional)
• 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped (optional, for garnish)
• 0 to taste shredded cheese (optional, for topping)
• 0 to taste sour cream (optional, for topping)

Directions

Step 1

Set your pressure cooker to the sauté mode and allow it to heat up.

Step 2

Add the olive oil to the pressure cooker. Once hot, add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it up with a wooden spoon as it cooks. Drain any excess fat if necessary.

Step 3

Add the diced onion, bell pepper, and minced garlic to the browned beef. Sauté for 3-4 minutes, or until the vegetables have softened slightly.

Step 4

Stir in the chili powder, cumin, paprika, cayenne pepper (if using), salt, and black pepper. Cook for 1-2 minutes to toast the spices and release their flavor.

Step 5

Add the canned diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, kidney beans, black beans, broth, and corn (if using). Stir to combine all ingredients evenly.

Step 6

Turn off the sauté mode and secure the pressure cooker lid. Set the cooker to high pressure for 15 minutes.

Step 7

Once the cooking time is complete, allow the pressure to release naturally for 10 minutes, then quick-release any remaining pressure.

Step 8

Carefully remove the lid and give the chili a good stir. Taste and adjust seasoning, if necessary.

Step 9

Serve hot, garnished with fresh cilantro, shredded cheese, or a dollop of sour cream, if desired.
