Ingredients

  • 1 lb Lean or extra lean ground beef
  • ½ large sweet onion diced
  • 3 stalks celery diced
  • 1 red pepper diced
  • 1 can kidney beans
  • 1 large can San Marzano or plum tomatoes 28 oz
  • 1 can corn or 1 cup frozen corn kernels 12 fl oz/341 ml

Notes

Yield: Makes about 8 cups of chili.
Instructions to make in the Instant Pot: Saute the ground beef in the Instant Pot, instead of on a frying pan. Add the onion, celery and bell pepper for a few minutes. Add chili spices and the water and let cook. Then after 3-4 minutes, hit cancel on the Instant Pot. Add all other ingredients and spices. Give everything a stir. Then secure lid and select "Bean / Chili". Be careful removing lid when time is up!
Substitutions: 
  • Only have ground turkey? Try substituting the ground beef with ground turkey and make slow cooker turkey chili😋
  • No kidney beans? No problem! You can make this easy recipe with any type of beans - try black beans, pinto beans or even chickpeas too🫘
  • If you can't find or don't have the San Marzano or plum tomatoes, you can use canned diced tomatoes instead🍅
  • Chili seasoning - if you've got it in the cupboard, feel free to use all-in-one chili seasoning instead of the separate spices in this recipe. Just be sure it's gluten-free!
Freezing and Storage:
Leftovers are good in the fridge for up to 3 days. Re-heat before serving. This chili recipe will also freeze well for up to to 3 months in an airtight container.
