Sweet Potato Black Bean Chili

Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 1 hour
Servings 8

Equipment

  • Pressure cooker

Ingredients
  

  • 2 large sweet potatoes diced
  • 1-2 tbsp apple cider vinegar optional
  • 1 onion diced
  • 1-2 green bell peppers diced
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 2 cans black beans or 1 1/2 cups dry beans
  • 2 cans diced tomatoes
  • 1 can tomato sauce
  • 1/2 to 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 to 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 to 1 tsp cumin
  • 1/2 to 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 to 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 to 1 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tbsp chili powder

Instructions
 

  • If you are using dried black beans you will begin by adding them to your instant pot with enough water or broth that they are well covered (about 4 cups). You can also add 1-2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar to help the beans to become more digestible. I also like the flavor the vinegar adds to the chili. Pressure cook the beans on high for 45 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, or if you are using canned beans, dice your vegetables into bite size pieces.
  • Once the beans are done release the pressure.
  • Add all the diced vegetables to the instant pot. If using canned beans, add the beans and the broth. Pressure cook on high for 8 minutes.
  • When the pressure cooker is finished again release the pressure and change the setting to saute. Add the diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, and seasonings. Start by adding 1/2 tsp of each seasoning (except chili powder) then add more if you'd like more flavor.
  • Let the chili simmer for a few minutes to let the seasoning incorporate, then serve.
