Easy Instant Pot Beef Chili Recipe

This Instant Pot Beef Chili is a family favorite!! Not only can beef chili be made in a crockpot or Dutch oven, but it also works amazingly well in the Instant Pot! I love this for nights when I forgot to cook. (It happens)
I took most of this right from our other chili recipe, but I changed it up as I have become more confident with spices and had no time for bacon! I tend to use some of my pre-cooked ground beef (see more -> here) to make this go faster.
Take a lot of prep work out of weeknight dinners and precook and freeze your cooked ground beef! Pull and defrost the ground beef from the freezer to put in this recipe for an easy weeknight dinner! (If you aren’t sure how to best do this, check out Freezing Cooked Ground Beef)

How to make Instant Pot chili with corn
If you need to cook your ground beef or thaw out your cooked ground beef.
Open your cans of beans and corn, then pour them into an over the sink strainer.
Rinse your beans and corn, and allow them to dry.
Optional: spray your Instant Pot with a nonstick spray; I did this just ’cause I didn’t want the sugars to burn and stick.
Dump everything into the Instant Pot: beef, beans, and corn.
Open up your tomatoes and beef broth and add them to the Instant Pot.
Season it up and stir everything together
Next, press the manual button, press the plus sign to set the timer to 10 minutes, and seal the lid.

How much Cumin and Chili Powder?
The amounts can vary based on what your family taste is like. I use a lot more cumin then chili powder. I season it and then add more if I need to as it’s cooking based off the smell. Hope that helps!
It would help a lot to guesstimate amounts of the seasoning.
