Instant Pot Keto Chili
I am starting to enjoy my Instant Pot especially for recipes like chili that I typically simmer on the stove for several hours. The Instant Pot gives me the option of a yummy home-cooked meal in a fraction of the time it would usually take. My kids requested chili tonight, so I thought I’d try my Keto/Low Carb Chili recipe that I usually cook on the stove in the Instant Pot. I added a few chopped green peppers to make it a little chunkier and reduced the liquid for the Instant Pot. Chili might be one of my family’s favorite meals. My husband and kids request it almost every Saturday during football season. It is something I cook often, and we all enjoy it.
I’m the odd one out in our family as I don’t like my chili with beans anyway. Of course, to make this Instant Pot Keto Chili Recipe, I omit the beans then in a separate pot on the stove I warm up beans for my kids so that they can scoop out some to add to their bowl of chili. This is one way I can cook one meal that we all enjoy as my kids aren’t following a Ketogenic diet. We were all pleased with how yummy it turned out!
Curry powder is my secret (or not so secret) ingredient in this Instant Pot Keto Chili. Years ago, a friend a work shared with me how curry powder gives Chili an incredibly bold flavor. She was right! Don’t be afraid of seasonings. Adding just the right ones makes a huge difference and can change any dish from good to amazingly delicious!
Instant Pots are available in several different models and sizes. I have the 6qt 7-in1 model that you see in the above image. I love how fast I can make a meal like this Instant Pot Keto Chili in my Instant Pot. You can check them out here.

How to Make Instant Pot Keto Chili:
Instant Pot Keto Chili Recipe
Ingredients
- 2 lbs 80/20 ground beef
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- ½ small onion, diced
- 10 oz can Rotel Tomatoes
- 28 oz can crushed tomatoes
- 1¼ tbsp cumin
- 2½ tbsp chili powder
- 1 tbsp curry powder
- 2 1/2 cups beef broth (20 oz)
- 1 ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 tsp pepper
- 1 tbsp red pepper flakes, optional optional
- 1 tbsp hot sauce, optional optional
- 1/2 small green pepper, diced optional
- 3 tbsp butter optional
Instructions
- Turn Instant Pot to saute and brown the ground beef, with the onions, green peppers (optional), and minced garlic.
- Drain (if desired) then return to Instant Pot.
- Deglaze Instant Pot with 1/4 cup beef broth.
- Add the rest of the beef broth, spices, butter (optional), and tomatoes (do not stir).
- With the Instant Pot still in saute mode, bring mixture to a boil.
- Turn off, secure the lid, then press the soup button and press the minus button to reduce the time down to 12 minutes.
- Once the soup cycle is complete, allow the Instant Pot a 10 minute NPR (natural pressure release) then do a QPR (quick press release). I always put a dish towel over the valve so that soup doesn't spew out.
- Remove lid and serve!
- Top each bowl with sour cream, grated cheese, jalapenos if desired.

Just starting out on low carb WOE and found your website. I made this chili last night. It was delicious.
Awesome! I’m so glad you enjoyed it!
Have this in my IP right now and it smells delicious! Just wondering why, after the liquid ingredients are added, do you instruct us not to stir? Thanks.
I can’t remember the reason why, but in my research of using the IP it said it was best.
About to make this for dinner tonight! Should I do anything differently if I’m using an 8qt IP?
I’m not sure I’ve never made it in an 8qt only the 6qt.
This is FANTASTIC. All of your recipes are great. You are a huge blessing to all keto goers. Thank you.
Thank you so much, Chip, for your kind words. I truly appreciate it.
Love! Made several times and about to make again for Halloween tonight with Keto mummy dogs!
