Quick Instant Pot Chili

Press the "Saute" button on your Instant Pot and let it heat up for 2 minutes. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks.

Add the onion, red bell pepper, and garlic to the Instant Pot and continue to cook until the vegetables are softened.

Stir in the chili powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Cook for 1 minute.

Add the canned diced tomatoes, kidney beans, and chili sauce (if using) to the Instant Pot.

Close the lid on the Instant Pot and make sure the valve is set to "Sealing". Press the "Manual" or "Pressure Cook" button and set the cooking time to 10 minutes at high pressure.

Let the pressure release naturally for 10 minutes, then quick-release any remaining pressure. Open the lid and stir the chili. Serve hot, garnished with chopped fresh cilantro or scallions if desired.
