No-Bean Keto Chili In The Instant Pot (Paleo And Whole30-Friendly)
This No-Bean Keto Chili is a hearty, meat-forward chili prepared entirely in an Instant Pot. Ground beef is cooked with a medley of diced vegetables and a blend of chili powder, smoked paprika, cayenne, and allspice for warm, smoky, and slightly spicy notes. The recipe omits beans for a keto-friendly approach, using fire-roasted and crushed tomatoes as a flavorful base. After pressure cooking, the chili is thickened by simmering to evaporate excess liquid and is finished with fresh parsley.

Ingredients
- 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil divided
- 1/2 cup onion diced
- 1 red bell pepper diced
- 1/2 cup celery sliced
- 1 tablespoon garlic minced
- 1 pound ground beef grass-fed, 85% lean
- 4 teaspoons chili powder
- 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1/8 teaspoon ground allspice
- 1 diced tomatoes fire-roasted, 14-ounce can
- 1 crushed tomatoes 14-ounce can
- 1/2 cup water
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 teaspoon salt sea salt
- Pinch black pepper
- 2 bay leaf
- 1/4 cup parsley minced
Instructions
- Pour 1 tablespoon of the oil in your Instant Pot and turn it to 'Sauté' mode. Once hot, sauté the onion, bell pepper, celery, and garlic until they begin to soften, about 3 minutes.
- Add the remaining oil along with the beef and cook until the beef begins to brown, about 3-4 minutes. Carefully drain any excess fat.
- Add the chili powder, smoked paprika, cayenne, and allspice and cook until the beef is no longer pink and completely browned, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add all the remaining ingredients, except the parsley, and stir until well combined. Cover the Instant Pot (make sure it's set to 'Sealing') and turn it to 'Manual Mode' (it should immediately be set for high pressure). Set it for 10 minutes. Once cooked, let it steam release naturally.
- Once the steam is released, remove the lid and turn it to 'Sauté' mode. Cook for 2-4 minutes, stirring frequently, until some of the water has evaporated.
- Stir in the parsley and DEVOUR.
