How much beef broth do I need to use in this recipe?
You’ll need to use at least two cups of the beef broth when preparing this Instant Pot Chili with Canned Beans. However, if you’d like to adjust the consistency of the chili so that it’s not too thick, you can add an additional two cups of beef broth to your Instant Pot.

Yes, you can use your favorite beef broth. It doesn’t matter the brand you choose. You might also want to use homemade beef broth. It’s a good idea to use a low-sodium version to keep this chili from tasting too salty.
Do I have to use black beans in this recipe?
While you don’t have to use black beans, they do taste great in this chili with the red kidney beans, seasonings, and additional ingredients. You can leave them out if you don’t like them and even replace them with different beans, such as pink kidney beans, white beans, or pinto beans.
What can I add on top of my chili when serving it?
Several fresh toppings taste great when added on top of a bowl of chili. There are lots of things you can add to the chili that keeps it dairy-free. You can add diced red onion, crackers, lettuce, corn, or even fresh avocado slices to your chili. If you don’t mind dairy, then add shredded cheddar cheese or a dollop of sour cream, It’s a great dish to serve with a side of cornbread.

Ingredients
- 4 1/2 pounds ground chuck
- 2 large onion, diced
- 2 green bell pepper, seeded and diced
- 2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 4 to 8 cups beef broth, depending on desired thickness

Instructions
-
With two electric pressure cookers on the saute mode, heat until “hot.” Add the half of the ground beef, onion, and green pepper into each pot. Cook until the beef is completely browned. Transfer the meat mixture to a colander to drain well.

While the meat drains, pour half of the beef broth into each of the electric pressure cookers and scrape the bottom with a wooden spoon to deglaze the pot.
-
Return the meat mixture to each of the electric pressure cookers equally. Add beef broth and deglaze the bottom of the pot by scraping with a wooden spoon.
-
Add half of the beans and seasonings to the meat mixture divided into each pot. Stir to evenly distribute the ingredients.
-
Over the top, pour the tomatoes and dot with tomato paste. Do not stir.
-
Place the lid on each of the pressure cookers and set the valves to sealing. Program the pressure cooker on “manual” or “pressure cook” for 25 minutes.
-
When the cooking cycle has completed, perform a quick release. Remove the lid and stir the chili.
-
Serve with desired toppings: diced onion, shredded cheese, and/or sour cream.
