No Bean Chili

Instant Pot Directions:

• Set Instant Pot to Sauté and reheat. When hot, add 2 tablespoons of olive oil and heat for a few seconds. Add garlic and sauté just until fragrant, about 30 seconds.  Add the ground beef and onion powder to the pot and cook, breaking up with a spoon until beef is cooked through and no longer pink.
• To the beef mixture, add oregano, chili powder, cumin, cocoa, allspice, and salt. Stir to combine. Add tomato paste, stir to combine and cook about 2 minutes. Add the tomatoes along with their juices, 1 tablespoon olive oil, beef broth and the water to the pot and stir well. Bring chili to a boil.
• Turn off Instant Pot and place the lid on and lock in place. Make sure valve is set to seal. Press the Manual button, and set timer for 45 minutes. Once it comes to pressure, it will begin counting down from the 45 minutes. When time is complete, allow pressure to release naturally for 10-15 minutes, then quick release any remaining pressure.
• If chili is too thin for your liking, set pot to Saute mode and boil until desired thickness is achieved. Serve diced onion and shredded cheese on the side for topping. Leftovers can be frozen for up to 3 months.
