This No Bean Chili is made in the Instant Pot, making it a super easy, hands-off recipe with very little cleanup. This chili is flavorful, but low-carb and lighter than traditional chili.
Turn the Instant Pot on to Sauté mode and preheat until very hot. Add the olive oil, or spray with cooking spray. Add the ground beef and diced onion. Sauté for 4-7 minutes to brown the meat, using a meat chopper or wooden spatula to break up the ground beef into small crumbles. Make sure that you use your wooden spatula to remove any browned bits from the bottom. Removing all the burned-on bits will make sure the Instant Pot won't give you a "burn" notice.
Add the Rotel and canned tomatoes, cumin, chili powder, curry powder, and beef broth to the Instant Pot.
Without stirring, add the lid to the Instant Pot and set the valve to sealing mode.
Turn on the CHILI/BEAN BUTTON and adjust the time to set to 12 minutes. Allow the Instant Pot to cook. Once cooked, wait for the pressure to release naturally.
If the chili isn't as thick as you'd like or if you want a more tomato-ey flavor, add in the tomato paste and stir to ensure the tomato paste is thoroughly mixed into the chili. Serve hot and enjoy!
