The instant pot recipe for chili has 2 major parts:

Stove top is hardest
To make this chili on the stove top, brown the ground beef with 1 tablespoon of oil in a stock pot over medium high heat until cooked through.
Once cooked and no longer pink, remove ground beef and add in remaining oil, onion and bell pepper. Sauté for a couple of minutes then add in garlic, jalapeno and seasonings. Sauté for another minute.
Add in diced tomatoes. Bring to boil, then reduce heat to low. Simmer for at least 30 minutes. The longer the keto chili simmers, the better it will taste.

What am I supposed to use for my liquid…. It’s awful dry for chilli
It shouldn’t be dry. I’ve made it several times as have others. Are you draining your tomatoes? You shouldn’t. If you want it more liquidy, you can add broth or water.
This is such a wonderful recipe. I added a little beef broth I had leftover in the freezer and just a dab of tomato sauce. It is freezing cold here in northern Idaho and everyone loved it. Family is here and I didn’t tell them it was keto.
Hi Jade, it is cold here too! I bet your family would love the keto clam chowder too!
Annie, thank you for the keto instant pot chili recipe!
You’re welcome!
I have tried a lot of different keto chilis and many are good, but this recipe is easy it takes the cake!
Thank you Charity!
Thanks
We made this with shredded beef left over from last nights dinner, but still included some ground beef. The mix was great! To top it off, I crumbled bacon on top with sour cream. There is more good news, I have enough for lunch tomorrow. 🙂
How do you do it in the crock pot?
Just dump in all of the ingredients to the slow cooker and cook on low for around 6 hours.
How long should you allow the pressure to natural release from the instant pot before manually venting?
about 10 minutes
