Cooler temperatures have arrived, football games are back on the schedule, and I am still Irish. What does this mean? It means that you need this delicious Instant Pot Guinness Beef Chili in your life...pronto!! It's funny how a simple drop in temperatures makes you start craving your favorite comfort foods. Trust me, a big bowl of this chili is guaranteed to take you to your happy place.

For even more delicious pressure cooker recipes, check out the Instant Pot Recipes page.

I can't believe that I forgot how delicious this chili is!! The temperatures have been in the 100's since April, so I have been waiting patiently to make it again. I made a couple of tweaks to my original Guinness Beef Chili recipe, and decided to simplify things and make it in my trusty Instant Pot.

Before you panic, yes you can make this chili without the alcohol, and yes you can make it without a pressure cooker....just keep reading.

The beans are perfectly cooked; not too mushy, not too hard, with chunks of ground beef and the perfect amount of heat...for your average 7 year old!

How do you make Instant Pot Guinness Beef Chili?

Turn on your Instant Pot and press the "Sauté" button. Add the oil when the display reads "HOT".

Add the onion and cook for 3 – 4 minutes to soften.

Add the ground beef and garlic. Cook until meat is no longer pink.

If you do not have all of your ingredients ready to go in all at once, press the Cancel button so you don't burn your chili!!

Add cumin, chili powders, salt & pepper.

Stir in the tomatoes and beans.

Add the Guinness (or beef broth) and stir to combine.

That is what yours should look like before you start cooking^^^^^

Press the "Cancel" button. Secure the lid and make sure the pressure knob is in the "Sealing" position.

Press the "Bean/Chili" button OR the "Manual" button and use the – and + buttons to adjust the time to 20 minutes on High Pressure.

I know, you're shocked....I NEVER use the dedicated buttons! I decided to be adventurous this time. LOL

When the pot beeps, allow the pressure to release naturally for 15 minutes. Carefully turn the knob to release the remaining pressure and remove the lid…..

Ladle the chili into bowls and serve garnished with sour cream, shredded cheese, and cilantro or green onions {if desired}

I like to serve mine with cornbread, but it's also delicious with corn chips. I haven't tried it with spaghetti yet, but I hear that is good as well. 🙂

• If you do not have a Bean/Chili or Manual button, use the Pressure Cook button.
• This recipe is made in this 6 quart Instant Pot. I do not own a 3 or 8 quart so I do not know what substitutions may need to be made. Sorry.
• For spicier chili, increase the amount of chipotle pepper or add Tabasco.
• Always check for seasoning BEFORE you serve! I do not use a lot of salt, I don't like the taste, and I do not like spicy food. Make your adjustments based on your own tastes.
• The type of beans do not matter, use your favorites. I always use Bush's beans in case you are wondering.
• If you do not want to use alcohol, substitute beef broth.
• If you do not have a pressure cooker I'm not exactly sure why you are reading this recipe, but I have a stove-top version right HERE.

Why do you use stout beer in this Instant Pot Guinness Beef Chili?

I like the deep, dark undertones that a good stout adds to the chili. It also goes really well with beef...and chocolate. 😉

Feel free to use any stout beer that you enjoy, I'm sure there are many of them out there to try.

No, you will not be able to taste the beer...yes my kids eat this chili, and love it! Well, they are in their 20's now, but they ate it growing up as well, lol
