Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 pounds ground beef
  • 6 slices bacon cut into lardon (small pieces)
  • 1 yellow onion diced
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 cup minced carrots about 2 medium
  • 3 tablespoons chili powder
  • 2 tablespoons cumin
  • 1 tablespoon oregano
  • 2 teaspoons REAL Salt
  • 4 tablespoons ketchup or tomato paste
  • 1 - 14.5- ounce can crushed tomatoes
  • 1 - 14.5 ounce can tomato sauce
  • 1 - 10- ounce can diced tomatoes with green chilis
  • 1 cup dried black beans
  • 1 cup dried kidney beans
  • 2 cups beef or chicken broth
  • toppings: avocado cheese, sour cream, tortilla chips, green onion, cilantro

Instructions

  • Turn instant pot on saute. Once it's hot, cook the bacon lardons until nice and crispy, about 5 minutes.
  • Remove bacon from pan, then add the chopped carrots and onions and cook right in the bacon grease. Cook them for several minutes until the carrots are soft and the onions are translucent and fragrant, then add garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes.
  • Remove the veggies from the pan and add the ground meat, cooking until completely browned.
  • Add remaining ingredients, stirring to combine.
  • Lock the lid on the Instant Pot and cook on manual high for 45 minutes.
  • Make sure the gasket on the lid is pushed back so it can seal properly. It will take the Instant Pot some time to get up to pressure, probably 10-15 minutes.
  • Naturally release pressure for 15 minutes, then quick release remaining pressure.
  • I like the cover the gasket with a towel or washcloth so the steam is spewing all over everywhere.
  • Carefully open the lid, making sure to vent it away from you so the steam doesn't hit your face.
