Chili night just got a whole lot easier! This Chuck Roast Chili Instant Pot is smoky, meaty, and ridiculously flavorful—like a slow-simmered classic, but without watching the pot for hours.
Turn the Instant Pot on SAUTE mode. When hot, add the oil, then the chuck. Let the chuck brown on all sides for about 10 minutes. Then, add the ground beef and cook, breaking it up with a wooden spoon as it browns.
Add the garlic, onion, peppers, and celery. Saute for 5 minutes, then add the spices, tomato sauce, tomato paste, chicken broth, and beans (with their liquid).
Place the lid on and lock. Turn on MANUAL mode with high pressure selected for 35 minutes. Allow for natural release (this usually takes about 15 minutes). Remove the lid and stir. For a thicker chili, turn on SAUTE and cook for 15 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes.
Let the chili cool until it reaches the desired serving temperature.
