Method

  1. Turn on a multi-cooker (like Instant Pot) and choose the Saute function. Apply a layer of oil to the bottom of the pot.

  2. Cook the beef until it turns brown, which should take approximately 5 minutes.

  3. Add the onion, celery, and garlic. Cook and stir occasionally until the onion becomes translucent, which should take around 5 minutes.

  4. Turn off the heat. Add the chili beans, pinto beans, tomato sauce, green chiles, chili powder, cider vinegar, chile-garlic sauce, oregano, and cumin. Mix everything well together.

  5. Close and lock the lid of the multi-cooker. Set the pressure to high according to the manufacturer's instructions, and set the timer for 10 minutes. Give it 10 to 15 minutes for the pressure to build up.

  6. Follow the manufacturer's instructions to release the pressure naturally, which could take anywhere between 10 to 40 minutes.

  7. If you are using a 6-quart Instant Pot, add the pinto beans last and ensure that the inner pot is only filled up to 2/3 of its capacity. If you have an 8-quart Instant Pot, all the ingredients should fit without overflowing.
