Easy Instant Pot Beef Chili Recipe

There’s always an occasion to enjoy a big bowl of beef chili. This is a great recipe for beef chili in the instant pot, all under 30 minutes! It’s so convenient to add all the ingredients in the Instant Pot and walk away. Within a few few minutes, you have a fabulous pot of chili to feed a crowd for parties. It’s perfect for Game day or anytime you want minimal cooking to feed a big group. It’s not just delicious, but beef chili with beans is always a hit. This beef chili recipe is an adaptation from Dad’s beef chili recipe. All we did was cook it in the Instant Pot.

We love Dad’s recipe for beef chili and beans and this beef chili pressure cooker recipe is even easier because we don’t have to hover over the stove! This chili recipe can easily be made in a slow cooker too. If the slow cooker has a sear function, then this chili will be just as delicious as in the Instant Pot!
