Ingredients

  • 2 lbs Ground Beef 93/7
  • 2 medium White Onions diced
  • 6 cloves Garlic minced
  • 1 Tbsp Chili Powder
  • 1/2 Tbsp Cumin
  • 1 tsp Kosher Salt
  • 1/2 tsp Black Pepper
  • 1/2 tsp Ground Coriander optional
  • 2 15 oz cans Diced Tomatoes
  • 2 C Beef or Chicken Broth
  • 7 oz can Chipotle Peppers in Adobo roughly chopped
  • 6 oz can Tomato Paste
  • 4 oz can Diced Green Chiles
  • 8 oz Banza Pasta Elbows
  • 3/4 C 84g Shredded Cheddar (optional)

Instructions

  • Set your pressure cooker to its high heat sauté function and spray the pot with nonstick cooking spray. Notes for stovetop prep included below.*
  • Add the onion, garlic, beef, and dry spices to the pot. Use a spatula to break the beef into small crumbles as it cooks. Cook until no pink remains in the beef, about 6-8 minutes.
  • Add the diced tomatoes, green chiles, chopped chipotle peppers, tomato paste, and broth to the pot. Stir everything together evenly before adding the pasta and stirring again.
  • Seal the pressure cooker and cook on its high pressure for 3 minutes with quick release pressure (vent as soon as it's finished cooking).
  • Stir and make sure the pasta is cooked before topping with the shredded cheddar.
  • If you're using a Ninja Foodi, use the broil function for 2 minutes. If you're using an Instant Pot or another pressure cooker, cover the chili mac and let the heat melt the cheese. (You can also add the cheese to each individual serving.)
