To make the chili in a slow cooker, cook the veggies and ground beef in a skillet on the stove, drain any grease, then transfer it to a slow cooker. Add the chili seasoning, salt, pepper, tomato paste, diced tomatoes and beef broth. Cook on low for 6-8 hours, or high for 3-4 hours.
To make the chili in an Instant Pot:
Press the saute button on the Instant Pot, use the adjust button to set it on the normal setting.
Add olive oil to the Instant Pot, when the display says “hot”, add the diced onions, bell peppers and jalapenos, cook for 4-5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for an additional minute.
Add the ground beef to the Instant Pot and cook until it’s browned, about 5-6 minutes. Press the stop/cancel button to turn the Instant Pot off, then drain any grease from the pot.
Add the chili seasoning, salt and pepper to the Instant Pot, with the ground beef, along with the diced tomatoes, tomato paste and beef broth. Stir to combine all of the ingredients.
Place the lid on the Instant Pot and make sure the steam release is set to sealing.
Press the manual button and use the +/- buttons to set the Instant Pot cooking time to 10 minutes on high.
The instant pot will display “on” as it comes up to temperature and then will count down from 10 minutes on the display once it comes up to temperature.
Once it has pressure cooked for 10 minutes, the Instant Pot will beep 3 times. Wait 10 minutes for the pressure to naturally release, then slide the steam release handle to the “venting” position to let out any remaining steam, before removing the lid and serving the chili.
