Instructions
- Place the mushrooms, onion and garlic in a good processor. Pulse until finely chopped.
- On your Instant Pot, select the sauté setting, and add in 1 Tbsp. of olive oil and the chopped mushrooms, onion, and garlic. Sauté for about 2-3 minutes, until garlic is fragrant.
- Once garlic is fragrant, add in ground meat and chopped bell peppers. Continue to stir and separate the meat until it's fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes. Once cooked, turn off the Instant Pot (cancel the sauté setting).
- Once ground meet is cooked, add the remaining ingredients into the Instant Pot. Stir to incorporate all of the ingredients, then put the lid on.
- Set the Instant Pot to cook the rest of the chili by selecting MANUAL, at HIGH pressure, for 20 minutes. Be sure the steam release is closed/sealed. Once 20 minutes is complete, hit CANCEL and let the Instant Pot naturally release steam for 10 minutes.
- Serve immediately with sour cream, cheddar cheese, and chopped green onions.
