-
Spray the Instant Pot with a little cooking spray, or drizzle with a little oil.
-
Set to sauté on regular (middle heat setting), and give it a minute to heat up.
-
Add beef, and brown for about 5 minutes, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon.
-
Add onions and peppers, garlic, spices, wine/broth, maple syrup, salt and pepper.
-
Cook for about 8 to 10 minutes.
-
Turn off the heat, and stir in the tomatoes, green chiles, beans, ketchup and hot sauce.
-
I always taste the chili at this point to see if I need to add any additional salt, pepper or spices.
-
Place the lid on, and lock it, with the vent set to "sealing."
-
Use the manual buttons to set it to 12 minutes.
-
Allow the pressure cooked to release naturally. Do not use the quick release lever, but let the pressure indicator sink on its own. Mine took about 23 minutes.
-
After pressure indicator has lowered, switch the lever to venting, and remove the lid.
-
Optional: If you wish to reduce the liquids, you can cook on sauté low for a few more minutes, until some of the liquids evaporate. Stir frequently, if you do this.
