Adzuki Bean Chili
The Instant Pot saves the day again with this super cozy and hearty Instant Pot Chili! There are a lot of ways to make chili but mine is a bit less than traditional. My go to chili bean….. any guesses?
It’s not the chili bean, not even the kidney bean, it’s none-other than the adzuki bean! And oh I love them so! They are little and mighty and being the meat eater that I am I really like that these little beans don’t stand too far out in size from the rest of the chili ingredients. Great with my Gluten Free Cornbread Muffins too!

Fall seemed to end abruptly last week and now it’s full-on winter here in Portland, Oregon. It’s baltic! Between this weather and the fact that I’ve always got my hands in water washing something (dishes, a child….you know the mom-drill), my hands are like sand paper and all I seriously want to do (besides lay in a vat of creamy warm lotion – random, but true!) is cozy up inside with this yummy warm chili.
It’s the perfect family dinner, make-ahead meal or batch cooking recipe to get the job done once and reap the benefits for meals to come! If you don’t yet have an Instant Pot, now is the time!
Eat and Enjoy,
Nicole

Description
This hearty healthy instant pot chili recipe has a perfect blend of seasonings, ground beef and adzuki beans. It’s a delicious and comforting easy family meal.
Ingredients
- 2 cups dried adzuki beans, cooked
- 2 lbs ground beef
- 36 ounces crushed jared tomatoes (strained would work also)
- 2 medium red bell peppers, diced
- 1 large yellow onion, diced
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 1/4 cup coconut aminos
- 1 Tablespoon avocado oil
- 2 teaspoon sea salt
- 2 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin
Instructions
- Start by soaking your beans in water the night before. (This step is not required but will result in faster cooking beans that are more easily digestible.)
- Drain the beans from their soaking liquid. Discard the soaking liquid and transfer the beans to the instant pot with 6 cups of water. Cook on manual/high pressure for 9 minutes. (If you didn’t soak the beans cook for 15 minutes.) Once cooked, naturally release pressure, drain beans and set aside.
- Rinse the cooking pot after the beans, pat dry and return to the machine.
- Turn the Instant Pot to saute and add the avocado oil and diced onion. Cook for 3-5 minutes before adding in the minced garlic. Stir to prevent the garlic from burning. Cook another 2 minutes.
- Add in the ground beef, break it up and cook until browned.
- Next add in the red bell peppers, crushed tomatoes, coconut aminos, salt, chili powder and cumin. Give the Instant Pot a stir and secure the lid, select manual/high pressure for 5 minutes.
- Once finished cooking, allow the Instant Pot to naturally decompress for 10 minutes before quick releasing any remaining pressure.
- Remove lid and stir in the cooked adzuki beans to warm through.
- Serve as is or top with avocado, olives and red onion.
- Eat and enjoy!
