Brown the Meat: Add oil to a 6-quart Instant Pot along with the ground beef. Cook the beef for 5-6 minutes, or until browned. It doesn’t have to be all of the way cooked through.
1 lb. ground beef, 2 Tbsp. oil
Saute Veggies: Add the onion, jalapenos, and garlic cloves. Saute for 2-3 minutes or until the onion is tender.
1 small sweet onion, 2-3 jalapeno peppers, 3 cloves garlic
Add Broth and Seasonings: Pour in the broth, tomato paste, chili seasoning, Worcestershire, sugar, salt, and peppers. Scrape the bottom of the pot to release any bits or pieces that might be stuck. Add in the crushed tomatoes and beans. Do not mix. You want the tomatoes to stay on the top of the pot.
½ cup beef broth, 3 Tbsp. tomato paste, 4 Tbsp. chili seasoning, 1 Tbsp. Worcestershire sauce, 1 Tbsp. brown sugar, 1 ½ tsp. salt, ½ tsp. black pepper, ¼-½ tsp. cayenne pepper, 28 oz. crushed tomatoes, 1 can red kidney beans
Cover and Pressure Cook: Close the pot with the lid and ensure the pressure release valve is sealed. Using the manual function, set the Instant Pot to high pressure and cook for 20 minutes. You can either do a quick pressure release or a natural pressure release, depending on the amount of time you have available.
Serve with Toppings: Give the chili a good stir before serving with additional toppings such as shredded cheese, sour cream, and green onions.
