Easy Instant Pot Chili Recipe

Chili in an instant pot comes together so quickly and achieves exact same result as if it was simmering for hours. You will only need one pot (your Instant Pot) for this whole entire recipe.

How To Make Instant Pot Chili Recipe

• Gather all your ingredients.
• Saute ground beef in the Instant Pot. Add in bell pepper and onion and cook until softened.
• Rinse beans and drain corn. Add in the remaining ingredients and season with salt.
• Set the timer to 25 minutes. Allow the Instant Pot to come to pressure and cook. Once it beeps, do a Quick Release. For serving, top it with some grated cheese and fresh green onions.

What to Serve with Chili

In terms of toppings, load it up with all the usual suspects. Green onions, a dollop of sour cream, and a healthy handful of shredded extra sharp cheddar are a must.

Chili is perfectly fine served all on its on, but is the perfect side kick to the potato. Smother it over Air Fryer French Fries or over Easy Air Fryer Baked Potatoes. Smother both with cheese, because…why not?

Storing Instant Pot Chili

I can’t harp on chili leftovers enough. They are the best. In my opinion, they get better and better as the chili marinates in itself in the fridge. Follow the instructions below for best storage practices:

• Refrigerating – Store leftover chili in an airtight container in the fridge. When sealed properly, your chili will last up to five days. Hello, easy weeknight lunches and dinners!
• Freezing – Store leftover chili in an airtight container or freezer friendly plastic bag. When kept this way, chili will keep for up to two months. Let the chili thaw overnight in the fridge the day before you want to eat it. Reheat in the microwave or in a pot until warmed through.
