5-Ingredient Beef Chili brings together tender ground beef, tomato sauce, and chili beans for a mild, cozy bowl with straightforward Instant Pot cooking. Blending part of the beans with broth adds body and a velvety texture, while a final hit of chili powder rounds out the flavor. Serve on a busy weeknight with toppings like cheddar, onion, or sour cream and a side of cornbread.

1

Turn on a multi-function pressure cooker (such as an Instant Pot) and choose the Saute setting. Crumble the ground beef into the pot and cook until browned, about 5 minutes.
2

Drain any excess liquid. Sprinkle the beef with salt and pepper. Pour in half of the bone broth and the tomato sauce. Add 1/2 of the chili beans to the pot.
3

Pour the remaining bone broth and chili beans into a high-powered blender (such as a Vitamix). Cover and blend on High for 30 seconds. Pour the blended mixture into the Instant Pot, but do not stir.
4

Close and lock the lid. Select High Pressure according to the manufacturer’s instructions; set the timer for 5 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for the pressure to build. Release pressure using the natural-release method according to the manufacturer’s instructions, about 5 minutes. Carefully release any remaining pressure using the quick-release method according to the manufacturer’s instructions, about 5 minutes. Unlock and remove the lid.

Season with chili powder and stir to combine. Divide evenly into 4 bowls. Garnish with Cheddar cheese if desired.
