Cooking Steps

Set your Instant Pot to the sauté function. Once it’s hot, add a drizzle of oil and toss in the chopped onion. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until the onion becomes translucent.

Next, add the minced garlic and chopped bell pepper to the pot, stirring them in. Continue sautéing for another 2-3 minutes until the vegetables become tender, and aromatic flavors are released.

Cook Under Pressure

Secure the lid on your Instant Pot, ensuring the valve is set to sealing. Select the manual setting and set the timer for 15 minutes. The Instant Pot will take some time to build pressure before the cooking starts.

Once the cooking time is up, allow the pressure to release naturally for about 10 minutes. After that, carefully switch the valve to venting to release any remaining pressure.

After the pressure has released completely, open the lid and stir the chili. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
