Instructions:

1. Prepare Ingredients:

   • Begin by gathering all the ingredients listed above. Ensure the ground beef is thawed if frozen and the vegetables are washed and chopped.

2. Brown the Beef:

   • Heat a large pot or pressure canner over medium heat. Add a splash of oil to the pot. Once the oil is hot, add the ground beef, breaking it up with a spoon or spatula to ensure even browning. Cook until the beef is browned and no longer pink, stirring occasionally.

3. Sauté Aromatics:

   • Add the chopped onions, garlic, and green peppers to the pot with the browned beef. Sauté the mixture until the vegetables are softened and aromatic, about 5 minutes.

4. Add Remaining Ingredients:

   • Stir in the tomato sauce, canned tomatoes (undrained), kidney beans (also undrained), salt, cayenne pepper, chili powder, and water. Mix well to combine all the flavors.

5. Pressure Cook:

   • If using a pressure canner, close the cover securely and place the pressure regulator on the vent pipe. Cook the chili for 15 minutes at 15 pounds of pressure.

6. Release Pressure:

   • After cooking, let the pressure drop off its own accord. This may take a few minutes, so be patient.

7. Serve and Enjoy:

   • Once the pressure has fully released, carefully remove the lid from the pressure canner. Give the chili a final stir and serve hot, garnished with your favorite toppings such as shredded cheese, sour cream, chopped cilantro, or diced avocado.
