Chili is on our regular dinner rotation during the winter. It’s easy to make, is made with pantry staple ingredients, and my whole family loves it!

This Instant Pot chipotle chili recipe is super easy to make and the flavor is fantastic! The electric pressure cooker makes quick work of the chili, but it tastes like it simmered all day.

This chili is also really flexible, and I’ve included some variations and tips in the substitutions below.

Ingredient notes

  • Ground beef: You can use any fat percentage ground beef in this recipe. I like to use 85% or 90% lean ground beef.
  • Kidney beans: You can use light or dark canned kidney beans.
  • Beef broth: I like to used reduced-sodium beef broth so that I can better control the amount of sodium in the recipe. You can use regular beef broth if you prefer.
  • Diced tomatoes: Plain diced tomatoes or diced tomatoes with onion or garlic work well in this recipe.
