Step 3

Lock the lid, bring the cooker up to pressure, reduce heat to maintain pressure, and cook for 10 minutes. Remove the cooker from the heat, and let the pressure reduce on its own, 5 to 10 minutes.

Step 4

When the pressure is fully released, remove the lid, stir the chili. Set to saute on low heat. Let simmer uncovered until chili is reduced to desired consistency, stirring occasionally. Simmering may take up to 30 minutes for a stew like consistency. Garnish with cheese if desired.
