Pressure Cooker Chilli Recipe

2 pounds ground beef (ideally grass-fed)
2 medium onions chopped
3 stalks celery chopped
1 small green bell pepper chopped
1 Tablespoon Chili Powder
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 1/2 teaspoons garlic powder
1 teaspoon salt (1 and ½ teaspoons if not using canned beans)
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
pinch cayenne pepper
1½ Tablespoons of unsweetened Coco Powder
1 (36 fluid ounce) can vegetable juice (I like RW Knudesen Very Veggie)
1 (29 ounce) strained tomatoes or 1 (29 ounce) can of crushed tomatoes, pureed
1½ cups of dried red beans prepared in your pressure cooker, drained & rinsed OR 2 cans canned red beans, drained and rinsed.


1. Start browning the beef, onions, celery and pepper in the pan until the beef is sufficiently broken up, but still a little pink.
2. Mix all your spices together in a small bowl. Add them to the beef mixture and stir, making sure to coat the entire beef mixture with the spices.
3. Dump in the vegetable juice and tomato puree
4. Cover and bring to high pressure. Cook over high pressure for 4 minutes. Let the pressure come down naturally.
5. Top and Eat Your Chili! Even more Delicious when served with warm cornbread.
