    This family-friendly Black Bean Ground Beef Chili is full of flavor without being too spicy.

    Chili is the kind of meal that is great for batch cooking for the week, an easy weeknight meal and to serve at parties and tailgates! You better believe any Superbowl watch party I throw will have a hearty chili!

    This is definitely my daughter's favorite chili recipe and most requested dinner by her but a close second in great chili recipes is my Slow Cooker Pork Chili. It is made with pre-marinated pork tenderloin and is so easy and delicious!

    This recipe for chili was originally created as an Instant Pot recipe only but I had so many people reach out and ask me how to adapt it to stovetop, I'm now including stovetop instructions too!

    If you do find yourself with leftover chili, think about making oven-baked chili dogs or these super indulgent Bacon Chili Dog Burritos or you can even use the leftovers instead of canned chili in pasta recipes like this Silly Chili Macaroni!

    Ingredients

    For measurements and specifics see the chili recipe card at the bottom.

    Most of the chili recipes I have been served have used red kidney beans. You can certainly use those if you like. I am a fan of using black beans. The rich ground beef and the earthy black beans just seem to bring a balance to the chili and to my soul.

    • Beef - Ground beef
    • Beans - Canned black beans
    • Tomato - Canned diced tomato with green chilies
    • Oil
    • Spices & Seasonings - salt, pepper, coriander, oregano, smoked paprika, chili power
    • Garlic & Onion
    • Broth - beef broth

    If you or your kids simply won't eat beans, check out my recipe for Kid-Friendly No Bean Chili!

    Instant Pot Instruction Notes

    • When preparing in the instant pot, you will need to thicken the chili at the end. The Instant Pot creates a lot of moisture so if you want your chili thick, you'll need to do that easy step.

    Are you in the market for an Instant Pot? I have been using my Instant Pot Duo for several years now without fail, so I can confidently recommend it.

    Serving suggestions

    Top this hearty black bean ground beef chili with your favorite toppings. Some of my favorites include:

    • Guacamole
    • Cilantro
    • Shredded Cheese
    • Sour Cream
    • Diced Jalapeno
    • Diced scallions
    • Sliced avocado

    This Instant Pot Chili is chalk full of ground beef and black beans.  Not overly spicy but lots of flavors going on in this chili that is easily made in the Instant Pot or simmered on the stove.

    Equipment

    • 1 Instant Pot / Pressure Cooker if preparing in Instant Pot

    Ingredients
      

    • 1 Tablespoon olive oil
    • ½ Cup diced sweet onion
    • 2 cloves minced garlic
    • 1 pound ground beef lean
    • 1 ½ Tablespoon chili powder
    • 1 ½ teaspoon dry oregano
    • 1 teaspoon coriander
    • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
    • 14.5 ounces can diced tomato w/ chilies do not drain
    • 2 Cup beef broth
    • 4 ounces can diced chilies mild or hot depending on preference
    • 15 ounces can black beans rinsed and drained
    • 1 teaspoon salt more or less to your preference
    • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
    • 2 Tablespoon flour

    Instructions
     

    Instant Pot Preparation

    • Set Instant Pot to saute. Once hot add the oil. Stir in the onion and cook 3-4 minutes, just until starting to soften. Add garlic, cook 30 seconds more.
    • Add ground beef. Cook until ground beef is just about cooked through, stirring occasionally.
    • To the pot, add chili powder, oregano, coriander, paprika, tomatoes, broth, chilies, salt and pepper. Stir well to combine. Cancel the saute function.
    • Cover and seal vent.
    • Set, using manual high pressure for 15 minutes. Once 15 minutes is up, allow pressure to release on its own.
    • Open cover. The mixture will appear to be very liquidy.  Stir in black beans.
    • Turn pot back to saute mode.
    • In a small bowl, scoop 2 T flour and ladle in about ½ C (or more) of liquid from pot. Stir together to create a slurry. Stir back into hot chili mixture. Continue cooking on saute for about 5 minutes until desired consistency is achieved. Serve warm.

    Stovetop Preparation

    • Heat oil in a pot or dutch oven style pan over medium-high heat.
    • Add onion and cook 2 to 3 minutes just until softened. Stir in garlic and cook 30 seconds. Add ground beef and break up while cooking until beef is cooked through.
    • Stir in seasonings/spices and then tomatoes and beans. Add broth and stir well. Bring to a boil and then cover and reduce heat to a simmer. Allow to simmer at least 30 minutes. Remove cover, stir and serve.

      Oh, this has inspired me to make chili soon to help warm up for the super cold weather we have been having lately. I love a good chili dish and yours looks amazing! I normally do my chili in the crockpot since we don't have an instant pot. That way it cooks all day long.

      Don't have an instant pot, but we make chili in our Crock Pot all the time. Your recipe looks very similar to our favorite!
