Instant Pot Protein-Rich Vegetarian Chili
Ingredients
  • 2 teaspoons olive oil
  • 1 cup chopped onion
  • 1/2 cup chopped green bell pepper
  • 1/2 cup chopped red bell pepper
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 pound vegetarian ground beef substitute (such as Beyond Meat® Beyond Beef®)
  • 1 (15 ounce) can chili beans
  • 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes
  • 2 tablespoons chili powder
Instructions
1
Preheat your multi-functional pressure cooker, such as the Instant Pot, to its Sauté function.
2
Heat a generous amount of oil in the device and add sliced onions and bell peppers, cooking them until they become soft and tender.
3
This process should take approximately 3 minutes. Next, add minced garlic to the pot and cook for a shorter duration of about 30 seconds, allowing its fragrance to fill the air.
4
Now, add your ground beef substitute and stir it with a spoon until it's nicely browned and crumbly.
5
Following this, add the beans, crushed tomatoes, and a pinch of chili powder to the pot.
6
Immediately press the Cancel button on your pressure cooker, effectively halting its operation.
7
Close and lock the lid of your device securely to prevent any accidental openings during cooking.
8
Refer to the manufacturer's instructions for setting high pressure, and set your timer according to their guidelines.
9
Allow 10-15 minutes for the pressure inside the cooker to build up before proceeding with the next step.
10
To release the built-up pressure, use the quick-release method as advised by your device's manufacturer. This process should take about 5 minutes, after which you can unlock and remove the lid of your pressure cooker.

Finally, serve your dish immediately and enjoy it while it's still hot.
