How to make Low FODMAP Instant Pot Chili

  1. Step 1

    Set the Instant Pot to sauté mode. Add the olive oil and let it warm up for a few minutes.

  2. Step 2

    Add the ground beef and season with a little salt, pepper, 1 tbsp chili powder, 0.5 tbsp Worcestershire sauce, 0.5 tbsp cumin, a few dashes of liquid smoke, and some green onions or dried chives. Cook through. Once cooked, drain the grease or leave it in, based on your preference.

  3. Step 3

    Turn off the Instant Pot and add all the other ingredients, including the rest of the seasonings set aside from before. Stir well.

  4. Step 4

    Place the lid back on the Instant Pot and lock the lid, ensuring the valve is set to 'Sealing'.

  5. Step 5

    Turn the Instant Pot to Manual (high pressure) and set the timer for 25 minutes. Consult your manual for specific settings if needed.

  6. Step 6

    When cooking is complete, turn off the Instant Pot and release the pressure using the 'quick release' method. Ensure the float valve is all the way down before removing the lid.

  7. Step 7

    Stir and serve with low FODMAP cornbread or toasted sourdough bread.
