    How to make Ground Beef Chili with Olives (Instant Pot or Stovetop):<\/h2>\n

    (This is ONLY a summary of the steps for the recipe; please scroll down for complete printable recipe. Or if you use the JUMP TO RECIPE<\/strong> link at the top of the page, it will take you directly to the complete recipe.)<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. These are Instant Pot instructions. Check after the instructions in the complete recipe if you want to make ground beef chili on the stove.<\/li>\n
    2. I know some people want to cook everything in the Instant Pot<\/a> (affiliate link), but if I’m going to saute a few ingredients I like to use a pan and add each one to the Instant Pot as it’s done. Your choice on that!<\/li>\n
    3. Heat the olive oil and cook the beef until it’s nicely browned, then add to the Instant Pot.<\/li>\n
    4. While the beef cooks, chop the onion and red bell peppers.<\/li>\n
    5. Add a tiny bit more oil if needed and cook those just a few minutes to start to release flavor; then add the crushed garlic, ground cumin, chili powder, and dried cilantro (optional) and cook a few minutes. Add to the Instant Pot.<\/li>\n
    6. Drain olives and cut in half. Then add olives, one can diced green chiles, one can beef stock, and 2 cans crushed tomatoes to the Instant Pot.<\/li>\n
    7. Lock lid, set to HIGH PRESSURE, and cook 15 minutes. Use the QUICK RELEASE to release the pressure.<\/li>\n
    8. Check to see if you feel the chili should be a bit thicker, and cook for a few minutes using SAUTE, MEDIUM HEAT if you prefer a thicker chili.<\/li>\n
    9. Stir in the lime juice and season to taste with salt and fresh-ground black pepper.<\/li>\n
    10. Serve Instant Pot Ground Beef Chili hot, with plenty of grated cheese and sour cream to add at the table if desired.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Make it a Low-Carb Meal:<\/h2>\n

      Chili can definitely be a one-dish meal of course. But if you want something to serve on the side, Ground Beef Chili with Olives would be delicious with Savory Almond Flour Bread<\/a>, or serve with Olive Bread<\/a> for a double dose of olives!<\/p>\n
