  • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika

Instructions

  • Heat the Instant Pot using the Saute function. Add the olive oil, onion, and carrots. Saute, stirring occasionally, until the onions are just starting to brown-- about 5 minutes.

  • Add the remaining ingredients and stir to combine. Add water if needed-- in my 6 Quart Instant Pot, I like to add 1 cup of water to ensure the beans are just barely covered during cooking.

  • Attach the lid and ensure the valve is in the sealing position. Pressure cook on high for 7 minutes.
  • Once the Instant Pot has finished, release the pressure manually by switching the valve to the venting position.
  • Remove the lid and stir. Enjoy warm. Store any leftover chili in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days.

Notes

  • Feel free to add in extra veggies like mushrooms or bell peppers. Just add the to the pot when you brown the onions.
  • I like to use red and white kidney beans, but most canned beans will work great in this recipe.
  • If making ahead of time, let the chili cool completely before storing.
