Instant Pot Quick and Easy Outlaw Chili Beans Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 1 pounds lean ground sirloin
• 1 onion, diced
• 3 stalks celery, diced
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 (15 ounce) cans chili beans, undrained
• 1 (29 ounce) can pinto beans, rinsed and drained
• 1 (29 ounce) can tomato sauce
• 2 (4 ounce) cans diced green chiles, undrained
• 2 tablespoons chili powder
• 1 tablespoon cider vinegar
• 1 tablespoon chile-garlic sauce (such as Huy Fong Foods), or to taste
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• teaspoon ground cumin

Directions:

1. Turn on the multi-cooker (such as Instant Pot) and select the 'Saute' function. Add the vegetable oil to coat the bottom of the pot.
2. Once the oil is heated, add the ground sirloin and cook, stirring occasionally, until the beef is browned (about 5 minutes).
3. Add the diced onion, celery, and minced garlic. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion becomes translucent, about 5 minutes. Turn off the 'Saute' function.
4. Add the chili beans (with liquid), pinto beans (rinsed and drained), tomato sauce, green chiles (with liquid), chili powder, cider vinegar, chile-garlic sauce, oregano, and cumin. Stir well to combine all ingredients.
5. Close and lock the lid of the multi-cooker. Set the cooker to high pressure according to the manufacturer's instructions and set the timer for 10 minutes.
6. Allow the pressure to build for 10 to 15 minutes before the cooking cycle begins.
7. After the cooking time is complete, release the pressure using the natural-release method. This process may take anywhere from 10 to 40 minutes, depending on your cooker.
8. Once the pressure has fully released, open the lid, stir the stew, and adjust seasonings to taste, if necessary.

Cook's Notes:

If using a 6-quart Instant Pot, make sure to add the pinto beans last, filling the inner pot no more than 2/3 full. For an 8-quart Instant Pot, all ingredients should fit without any overflow.
