Follow The Directions

01

Step

Engage Sauté Mode: In your Instant Pot, heat the olive oil using the Sauté function. (2 minutes)

02

Step

Sauté Aromatics: Add the chopped onion and bell peppers. Sauté until softened, approximately 3 minutes. Introduce the minced garlic and cook until fragrant, around 30 seconds. (3.5 minutes)

03

Step

Brown the Plant-Based Beef: Incorporate the plant-based ground beef alternative. Cook, stirring frequently, until browned and slightly crispy. (5 minutes)

04

Step

Combine Ingredients: Pour in the chili beans, diced tomatoes, and chili powder. Stir well to ensure all ingredients are combined evenly. (2 minutes)

05

Step

Pressure Cook: Secure the Instant Pot lid, ensuring the valve is set to sealing. Select high pressure and set the timer for 5 minutes. Allow 10-15 minutes for the pressure to build. (5 minutes cooking, 10-15 minutes pressure building)

06

Step

Release Pressure: Once the cooking cycle is complete, carefully perform a quick pressure release according to the manufacturer's instructions. This should take approximately 5 minutes. (5 minutes)

07

Step

Serve: Unlock and remove the lid. Stir the chili and serve hot, with your desired toppings. (2 minutes)

For a richer flavor, consider adding a tablespoon of tomato paste along with the diced tomatoes.
Adjust the amount of chili powder to your preferred level of spice.
To prevent the 'Burn' warning on your Instant Pot, ensure there is enough liquid in the pot and scrape the bottom well after browning the plant-based beef.
This chili can be easily customized with other vegetables like corn, zucchini, or mushrooms.
