45 minThis pressure cooker chili brings all the deep, hearty flavors of traditional chili con carne without the all-day simmer.
Ground beef browns beautifully with onions and green peppers before the magic happens: kidney beans (some mashed for body, some whole for texture), tomatoes, and a blend of chili powder and garlic transform into a thick, satisfying bowl in just 15 minutes under pressure.
The secret? Mashing half the beans creates a naturally creamy base that clings to every spoonful.
Pro Tips
- Brown the meat well before adding other ingredients for deeper flavor
- Mash beans against the side of the pot with a fork for quick, easy texture
- Adjust thickness by simmering uncovered after pressure releases
- Top with shredded cheese, sour cream, or diced onions for classic chili bar flair
