Instructions
- 1Set an Instant Pot to sauté and add the coconut oil. When the oil is hot and melted, add the beef, onion, salt, and pepper. Cook, breaking apart and browning the meat, until the beef is no longer pink and the onion is beginning to soften, about 7 minutes. Add the oregano, chili powder, smoked paprika, cumin, garlic powder, cinnamon, and cayenne. Let cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
- 2Add the sweet potato, red and green bell peppers, cauliflower, pumpkin, diced tomatoes and 2 cups chicken broth. Stir well. Cover, seal, and set to cook on high pressure for 10 minutes. Quick release to vent the remaining pressure immediately. If the chili seems too thick, stir in additional broth to reach your desired consistency. Taste and adjust seasonings. Serve hot with desired toppings.
