Servings: 3 -4 servings
Ingredients
- ½ tablespoon olive oil
- ⅓ pound spicy pork sausage
- ½ pound lean ground beef
- ½ cup diced yellow onion
- ⅓ cup diced green pepper
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- ½ cup red wine I normally use Pinot Noir or Merlot
- 1 tablespoon tomato paste
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- ½ teaspoon chili powder
- 2 teaspoons brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- ½ teaspoon ground pepper
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 15- ounce can red kidney bean drained and rinsed
- 1 28- ounce can diced tomatoes
- ½ cup light sour cream or plain greek yogurt
- ⅓ cup shredded cheddar cheese
Instructions
- Brown the meat. Turn the Instant Pot to the Saute function. Add the olive oil. Once you can feel the heat add the pork and sauté for one minute. Then add the ground beef. Stir until crumbled and cooked through. Add the onion, pepper and garlic and sauté briefly.
- Deglaze the pan. Add the wine to the pan and use a silicone spatula to deglaze the pan by scraping all the browned bits off the bottom. This will help to ensure you don't get a burn notice on your Instant Pot.
- Add the remaining ingredients. Add the spices, tomato paste, tomatoes and beans.
- Pressue cook the chili. Switch your Instant Pot to beans/chili mode and set the time for 20 minutes. After the chili is done cooking, let the pressure release naturally for 20 minutes and then quick release any remaining pressure.
- Serve. Ladle the chili into bowls and serve the chili topped with sour cream/greek yogurt and shredded cheese.
