How to Make Instant Pot Dry Bean Chili

Full directions for this instant pot chili recipe with dry beans are in the printable recipe card below.

Start by rinsing your beans in cold water in a colander. This is a great way to pick through the dry beans and remove any stones or debris.

Pour beans into the Instant Pot and add water to cover the beans. Place your lid on the Instant pot and make sure the valve is set to sealing.

Set to bean/chili setting for 25 minutes, with a natural release. Once done, drain and rinse the pot and place it back in.

You will add in your oil, and then toss in the onions and jalapenos. You want to saute them to help break down the onions a bit.

Add in your ground beef, cocoa powder, and seasonings. Cook until the beef is no longer pink.

Turn off the saute mode, add in all the other ingredients, stir, and place lid on the pressure cooker. Cook again as directed below.

Storage

Chili can be refrigerated for up to three days. You will find the next day the chili has the best flavor!

You can freeze chili as well if you don't want to eat it all right away. Place the chili in an airtight container that is freezer friendly.

Freeze the chili for 3-4 months. Then just thaw and heat, or warm it up straight from being frozen. Just be careful not to break up the beans too much.

Recipe FAQs

Can I use dried beans in chili?

Dried beans work wonderfully in chili. You just have to cook them up to soften them up a bit. I share how to pressure cook dried beans without soaking overnight.

Can I use dry beans in Instant Pot?

You can use dry beans in the Instant Pot! Just rinse first, pick out any bad beans and stones. Dump in the pressure cooker, and cover with water. Cook as directed in the recipe card.

The beans turn out tender and delicious every single time.

What is the bean chili setting on Instant Pot?

The bean or chili setting on the pressure cooker defaults to high pressure. If you don't have the button for chili, just do manual/high pressure and then select the right cook time in the recipe card.
