This Instant Pot Lentil and Black Bean Chili couldn’t be any easier to make! It’s hearty, filling, and has so much flavor. It’s definitely a family favorite in our house!

Instant Pot Lentil and Black Bean Chili

I actually created this recipe 4 years ago and since then it has been one of the most popular recipes on the blog.

Originally I made it on the stovetop and also tried it in my slow cooker as well, so if you don’t have an Instant Pot you can check out those methods here —–> Lentil and Black Bean Chili. 

 

Today I decided to test this recipe out in my Instant Pot and it turned out just as delicious and only took a fraction of the time to make!

I have to say I am totally loving my Instant Pot since I got it a year ago. At first I was against getting one. Honestly I’m not sure why… maybe because it has so many buttons that it looked complicated to use.

Let’s just say I’m a bit technologically challenged LOL!

I got this as a gift, and it ended up being one of the most funnest kitchen gadgets I’ve ever used! Although I do admit that I was a bit nervous at first.

I mean, the first time I released the pressure valve I literally ducked behind the counter thinking the thing was going to explode all over. SERIOUSLY!

I haven’t completely gotten over that fear yet… BUT I no longer hide behind the counter. 😛

Alright, let’s get into this recipe!

Turn on your Instant Pot to sauté mode and add the Olive Oil. Once the oil starts to shimmer, add Onion, Red Pepper and sauté 3-4 minutes. Add Garlic and sauté 1 minute.

Press the cancel button to turn Instant Pot off. Add Vegetable Broth, Lentils, Tomatoes, Tomato Sauce, Black Beans, Corn, Chili Powder, Cumin, and Brown Sugar.

Place lid on Instant Pot and make sure lid and vent is sealed. Set to pressure cook on high for 12 minutes. Let it slowly release pressure for 15 minutes, then press valve to release all the way.

Serve with your favorite chili toppings and enjoy!

    I made this pretty much as written, but doubled the chili powder and added some pepper flakes to up the heat, skipped the brown sugar… and followed the IP directions… it was GREAT! My meat eating husband turned his nose up while I poured the lentils in, but then had two bowls and made mmmmm noises the whole time!
