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.
