Ingredients
Units
Scale
- :
- 1 lb moose meat (ground or cubed)
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 bell pepper, chopped
- 1 can (15 oz) kidney beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 can (15 oz) diced tomatoes
- 2 tbsp tomato paste
- 1 cup beef broth (or vegetable broth)
- 1 tbsp chili powder
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper (optional for heat)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tbsp olive oil
Instructions
- :
- Sauté: Turn on the Instant Pot and select the “Sauté” function. Heat olive oil and add the chopped onion, bell pepper, and garlic. Sauté for about 3-5 minutes until softened.
- Brown the Moose Meat: Add the moose meat and cook, breaking it apart, until browned (about 5-7 minutes).
- Add the Rest of the Ingredients: Stir in the chili powder, cumin, paprika, cayenne (if using), salt, and pepper. Add the tomato paste, diced tomatoes, beans, and broth. Stir to combine.
- Pressure Cook: Close the lid of the Instant Pot, ensuring the valve is set to “Sealing.” Select the “Manual” or “Pressure Cook” setting and cook on high pressure for 25 minutes.
- Release Pressure: Once the cooking time is up, allow the pressure to release naturally for 10 minutes, then carefully turn the valve to “Venting” to release any remaining pressure.
- Serve: Open the lid and give the chili a good stir. Serve hot with your favorite toppings like shredded cheese, sour cream, or green onions.
Notes
- :
- If you prefer a thicker chili, you can mash some of the beans with a spoon before pressure cooking.
- You can substitute moose meat with beef or venison if needed.
- Add some extra heat with jalapeños or hot sauce for a spicier kick.
