Pressure Cooker Chili delivers bold, cozy flavor in a fraction of the usual time. Tender beef, tomatoes, and kidney beans simmer under pressure with chili powder, cocoa, and warm spices for a deep, balanced heat and a hint of sweetness. Serve it on chilly nights with your favorite toppings like cheddar, scallions, or a dollop of sour cream.

1

Place the ground beef in the pressure cooker over medium-high heat; cook until browned and crumbly, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove the beef and drain off the excess fat.
2

Heat the olive oil in the pressure cooker over medium heat; add the onion, green pepper, and jalapeño. Cook, stirring, until the onion softens, about 3 to 4 minutes. Add the garlic; cook and stir for about 30 seconds. Stir in the browned beef, diced tomatoes, kidney beans, water, tomato paste, chili powder, brown sugar, cocoa powder, cumin, salt, and red pepper flakes.
3

Lock the lid, bring the cooker to pressure, reduce the heat to keep it at pressure, and cook for 8 minutes. Remove the cooker from the heat and let the pressure drop naturally, 5 to 10 minutes.
4

When the pressure has fully released, remove the lid, stir the chili, and serve.
