Instantpot Jalapeño Chili this Recipe

The instant pot is a great kitchen appliance. So we thought why not make a chili from it? After all, it has a chili function. So we made it and everybody thought is was the best chili they've ever tasted. It is very hearty and flavorful soup with just enough spice. It's filled with meats and vegetables so there's really no side items required. It's a meal in itself, especially with rice and toppings.

Making the Jalapeño Chili:

Here are all of the ingredients needed for the Chili: Bacon, sirloin steak, onion, garlic, jalapeños, beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, chili powder, paprika, black pepper, cumin, oregano, pinto beans, crushed tomatoes, masa harina, and water.

Ingredients for the Jalapeño Chili

Start by getting your instant pot and press the sauté button. Let it heat up for about 5 minutes, then start sautéing the bacon pieces until all cooked and crisp, about 5-7 minutes. Then, place the bacon bits in a bowl and set aside while reserving the bacon grease in the pot.

Put the sirloin steak, onion, garlic, and jalapeños into the pot, and stir and cook until meat is brown and vegetables are tender, about another 5-7 minutes. You can take out the ribbing and seeds from the jalapeños to make them less spicy, but we find it not necessary.

Next, add the beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, and spices and give it a good mix.

This is where you need to be careful. Pour the pinto beans and crushed tomatoes on top of the rest of the chili, but DO NOT MIX!!! Otherwise, the chili will be too thick and the Instantpot may prevent it from cooking properly.

Put on the lid set to vent and press the bean/chili button; It may take a little while before it actually countdown 30 minutes. Once 30 minutes is up, keep the lid still turned to vent and let the chili naturally release for 15 minute. Then, open the vent and wait for all the steam to come out of the Instantpot.

Now, make a slurry by mixing masa harina and water together, then pour into the chili and mix.

Now is the time to add the bacon bits back into the chili. Add them, then give it one last mix.

Want to make your chili extra special add items in or on top of the chili. Here, we have a bowl of chili with rice in it, topped with cheddar cheese, sour cream, multi-colored tortilla strips and chives. No need for hot sauce since there are jalapeños in it. Now, all there is to do is eat it all up. Our family can't get enough of it.
