1 Tablespoon olive oil
1 onion diced
1 red bell pepper diced
1 green bell pepper diced
1 rib celery diced
2 garlic cloves minced
1½ pounds lean ground beef
28 ounces diced tomatoes undrained, 2 (14 ounce cans)
8 ounces tomato sauce
1½ Tablespoons chili powder
½ Tablespoon smoked paprika
2 teaspoons garlic powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
½ teaspoon oregano
½ teaspoon granulated sugar
dash of cayenne pepper
salt and pepper, to taste
Favorite chili toppings for serving (sour cream, shredded cheddar cheese, diced green onions, Fritos corn chips)

Press the SAUTE button on the Instant Pot. When the pot is warm, add oil.
Add in the onion, bell peppers, celery, and garlic. Saute for 3-4 minutes or until vegetables start to turn tender.
Add in the ground beef and cook until it browns (about 5 minutes).
Scrape the bottom of the pot with a wooden spoon to make sure there are no burnt pieces on the bottom of the pot (so that you don't get the "BURN" notice).
Add in the remaining ingredients and place the lid on the Instant Pot.
Press the PRESSURE COOK button and set timer for 12 minutes. Remember that it will take about 10-15 minutes for the pot to come to pressure.
When the timer is done, you can do a quick release of the pressure (or you can let this sit on "Keep Warm" all day long and really let those flavors meld together!).
Remove lid, stir together, and serve with your favorite chili toppings.

COOKING NOTE: Remember that while the meal will cook for 12 minutes, after the Instant Pot comes to pressure, which can take about 10-15 minutes.
