Then replace the lid on and turn to manual and pressure cook for 10 minutes. After pressure has released remove the lid and return to the Saute mode for 4 minutes to thicken up the Chili.

Where is the Beans?
There has been a long debate about whether there should be beans in your chili. My kids have been arguing about this for as long as I remember. Since this is a Keto recipe and “lower-carb” they have been left out. Believe me, it is still hearty and has all the flavor you will need.
