Ingredients
- Ground beef (lean, 90/10 recommended)
- Onions
- Garlic
- Bell peppers
- Canned diced tomatoes
- Tomato sauce
- Beef broth
- Chili powder

Instructions
- Turn on the Instant Pot and select the ‘Sauté’ function. Add oil, then sauté diced onions and minced garlic until fragrant.
- Add ground beef and break it apart. Cook, stirring occasionally, until browned. Drain excess grease if necessary.
- Pour in beef broth, ensuring it covers the ground beef. Deglaze the pot by scraping the bottom to loosen any browned bits.
