Beef and Sweet Potato Chili Recipe

Ingredients

• 1 Tablespoon Oil
• 1.5 pounds Ground Beef (1 lb will be thinner, 2 lbs will be a thicker meatier chili.)
• 2 Tablespoon Chili Seasoning Blend (This blend has chili powder, onion powder, garlic powder, and cumin. )
• 1 teaspoon Beef Bouillon (or replace with 1 tsp of salt)
• 15 ounce Tomato Sauce
• 2 15 oz Cans of Beans (I used a Tri Blend)
• 1 Cup Diced Sweet Potato (Fresh or Frozen)
• 1 Cup Water
• Optional Toppings: Shredded Cheese, hot sauce, sour cream or yogurt, avocado, green onions, and corn chips.

Instructions

1. 1

   Set Instant Pot to Saute and allow to heat up for a minute. Add oil, Ground Beef, and cook till beef is browned. Add Chili seasoning and beef bouillon or substitute with 1 tsp of salt.

2. 2

   Add both cans of drained beans, tomato sauce, diced sweet potatoes, and 1 cup of water. Combine, place lid on, lock and set valve to sealing. Set the timer for 25 minutes on high pressure.

3. 3

   Once the timer goes off, I prefer to let the pressure release naturally for 10 minutes, or you can quick release the pressure using a kitchen tool to move the valve over to venting.

4. 4

   After the valve has dropped, remove the lid and with a potato masher, start lightly mashing the chili until the sweet potato is incorporated.

5. 5

   Serve with your favorite toppings like shredded cheese, green onions, hot sauce, avocado, and chips.
