If you want something WARM, SOOTHING, TASTY, and QUICK TO MAKE for dinner, this three bean chili is the bomb! I revamped one of my chili recipes so it can make it up in the Instant pot. If you don’t have an Instant Pot, you seriously should consider it. Worth every penny! I have two now and use them simultaneously all the time.

This chili recipe can be made without the Instant Pot, just takes a little more effort. With the Instant Pot, you don’t have to babysit it. Just throw all the ingredients in and while you wait you can make up a batch of yummy cornbread. You can have a healthy dinner made up in the time it would take you to run to a fast-food joint.
Back to the three-bean chili.
This is how easy it is
Ingredients (6 servings)
- 1 lb. ground beef or ground turkey (optional to add meat or not)
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 1 14.5 oz. can tomatoes with juice
- 1 6 oz. can tomato paste (optional)
- 1 can chopped roasted green chilies, optional
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1 tsp. coriander
- 1 tsp. cumin
- 1/2 tsp. paprika
- 1 1/4 tsp. chili powder
- 3 cans beans, drained (pinto, kidney, black, navy, etc)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
1- Turn on the Instant Pot and choose SAUTE
2- Brown the ground meat and remove any unwanted grease.
3- Add the rest of the ingredients to the pot and give it a little stir.
4- Place the lid on the Instant Pot
5- Flip the pressure valve to seal
6- Reset the Instant Pot for “SOUP”
7- Adjust the time for 15 minutes.
8- When the beeper goes off, use the QUICK RELEASE METHOD
9- When the pressure has come down, remove the lid, and enjoy!
This Chili freezes really well. You can double the batch and freeze some for another QUICK MEAL!
You can also make this up in a stockpot if you don’t have an Instant Pot. It is pretty much the same instructions. Simmer over medium-low heat covered for 30 minutes.
Enjoy!
