- 2 garlic cloves minced
- 15 ounces tomato sauce
- 15 ounces kidney beans undrained
- 15 ounces pinto beans undrained
- 10 ounces Rotel original with green chilies
- 1 onion diced

- 1 cup beef broth low sodium
Instructions
- Set the Instant Pot to saute and add the lean ground beef and the minced garlic to the inner liner.
- Add the diced onion, chopped green bell pepper, and chopped celery to the inner liner and saute until the diced onion is translucent and the beef is browned.
- Drain grease if necessary. Return the ground beef back to the inner liner and sprinkle the chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt, cayenne pepper, and black pepper on top of the beef.
- Empty the cans of kidney beans and pinto beans into the pot.
- Top with the Rotel, white vinegar, and tomato sauce.
- Pour the beef broth (or stock) on top of the ingredients but do not stir.
- Close the lid and pressure cook on HIGH/MANUAL PRESSURE for 10 minutes.
- Naturally release the pressure in the Instant Pot by allowing it to sit for 10 minutes after the cook time is up.
- Stir the chili and serve.
- Garnish with scallions, shredded cheddar cheese, and sour cream if desired.
Notes
If there is too much liquid in the pot after pressure cooking, return the Instant Pot to saute and cook off some of the liquid. Stir while doing this.
If using lean ground beef, you may not need to drain the grease.
