1can chili beans16 ounce
1can pineapple chunksdrained (20 ounces)
1can tomatoes with chiles14 ounce
Instructions
Turn the Instant Pot on saute and let it heat for a few minutes. Add the ground beef and cooking, stirring, for about 5 minutes.
1 pound ground beef
Once the meat is no longer pink add the onions, celery and garlic. Cook for another 5 minutes.
1 onion, 4 celery stalks, 3 garlic cloves
Turn the Instant Pot off. Add the beef broth and deglaze the Instant Pot. Stir, scraping the bottom to make sure no bits of beef or vegetables are stuck to the bottom. Deglazing reduces the chances of getting an Instant Pot Burn error.
1 cup beef broth
Add the chili powder, ginger, salt, chili beans and drained pineapple. Stir the ingredients to mix well.
1 Tablespoon chili powder, 1 Tablespoon ginger, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1 can chili beans, 1 can pineapple chunks
Add the can of tomatoes with chiles to the Instant Pot. Don't stir it in, let the tomatoes sit on top. This also reduces the chances of getting a Burn error.
1 can tomatoes with chiles
Put the lid on the pressure cooker, making sure the sealing ring is in place and the valve is closed. Set for Manual, High pressure for 12 minutes. It will take about 10 minutes for the Instant Pot to reach pressure.
Once the pressure cooking is complete let the pressure release naturally for about 10 minutes. Then you can release any remaining pressure and serve.
Garnish with green onions, cheese, sour cream, avocado or tortilla chips.
Notes
You can substitute any type of ground meat for the ground beef, like ground pork or ground turkey. If you use a low fat type of ground meat add 2 Tablespoons of oil to brown the meat.
I make and test my recipes in a 6 quart Instant Pot, and using a different size or brand might effect your results. If using an 8 quart Instant Pot I would probably suggest doubling this recipe.
