Servings: 5
Equipment
- 1 pressure cooker or below is stove directions
Ingredients
- 1.5-2 c dry beans I use 13 bean soup mix or kidney beans
- 1/2 lb ground sausage I like Jimmy Dean spicy, or can just add 1/2 lb more ground beef
- 1/2 lb ground beef
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 onion diced
- 2 green onions diced
- 1 can diced tomatoes 14.5 oz., or same amount of rotel
- 1 can tomato sauce 14.5 oz.
- 1 can diced chiles 4 oz.
- 3 tsp Lawrys seasoned salt
- 1.5 tbsp chili powder
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp garlic salt
- water for soaking and/or cooking
Instructions
- NO Soak Chili with Dry Beans - Put 4.5 cups of water and 1 1/2-2 cups of dry beans into your pressure cooker. Seal lid and steam valve and set to bean setting for 30 minutes. Quick release when done, drain, and set beans aside. Turn Instant Pot to saute and add olive oil and ground sausage/beef. Cook about half way done and then add onions, spices, and green onions.
- Cook until pink is gone on meat and turn pressure cooker off. Add in your diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, beans that you put to the side that have been cooked + 3/4 cup water. Gently stir. Seal your lid and steam valve and set to pressure, high, for 5 minutes. Do a natural release for 5 minutes, then quick release and serve topped with cheese, chives, green onions etc….
- Chili with Dried Beans Soaked - In a bowl add your dried beans with enough water to cover + 3" above that. Let it sit overnight on the counter. In the morning drain and rinse, set aside. Add the soaked and drained beans to a large pot, along with enough water to cover them + about 2 inches above that. Bring the water to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer, until the beans are tender, for about 1 hour or until tender to your liking. Skim off any foam that rises to the surface. Drain, rinse, set aside.
- In a large pot or Dutch Oven on stovetop over medium high heat add olive oil and ground beef/sausage. Cook about half way done and then add onions, spices, and green onions.
- Continue to cook meat until pink is gone. Pour in your diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, beans that you put to the side + 3/4 cup water (or more if you want it thinner). Gently stir. Put your lid on, turn heat to low and cook for a minimum of 30 minutes but can gently simmer longer (just realize beans will continue to soften), serve topped with cheese, chives, green onions etc….
