Instructions: Let’s Get Cooking!
Now that you have your ingredients ready, let’s get this chili party started!
- First, grab your Instant Pot and set it to the sauté mode. Add the olive oil and let it heat up like it’s preparing for a big dance party.
- Throw in the ground beef (or turkey) and cook until browned. You want it to look nice and cozy.
- Next, add the chopped onions, minced garlic, and bell pepper. Sauté until the veggies soften, making sure to stir occasionally like a pro.
- Now, it’s time to invite the rest of the ingredients to the pot! Add the kidney beans, black beans, crushed tomatoes, and all the spices. Season with salt and pepper. Give it a big stir, like you’re mixing up a love potion!
- Seal the Instant Pot lid firmly, making sure the steam vent is closed. Set it to cook on high pressure for about 15 minutes. While you wait, dance around the kitchen if you’re feeling froggy!
- Once the timer goes off, carefully release the pressure (but don’t let it blow up like a balloon!). Open the lid and behold the glorious chili!
- Serve hot, and don’t forget to add your favorite toppings. Grab a spoon, and dig in!
And there you have it! A delicious, crowd-pleasing chili that brings people together—unless they don’t like beans, then we might have a problem. Enjoy your culinary masterpiece!
