INSTANT POT BEEF CHILI RECIPE BY TASTY



Instant Pot Beef Chili Recipe by Tasty image

Classic chili comes together in under an hour in the Instant Pot. Use the sauté function to brown the aromatics and meat, then pressure cook to meld and build that long-simmered flavor. No chili is complete without the toppings--we love sour cream, shredded cheese, and cilantro!

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 medium yellow onion, diced
