Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound lean ground beef
  • 1 cup diced onion
  • 3 cups beef broth
  • 1 Tbsp cumin
  • 1 Tbsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 (8 oz) can tomato sauce
  • 1 cup Pace Picante sauce
  • 1 (4 oz) can green chiles
  • 1 (15 oz) can ranch beans or chili beans, not drained (I used ranch beans with jalapenos)
  • 1 (15 oz) can corn, drained
  • 1 carrot, peeled and sliced
  • 1/4 cup brown rice or white rice
  • Toppings: Chili Cheese Fritos, shredded cheddar, sliced avocados

Instructions

Instant Pot Instructions:

  1. Turn Instant Pot to saute setting. When display says HOT add in the beef and break it up. Add in the onion. Brown for about 5 minutes. Drain off excess grease.
  2. Pour in the broth and scrape bottom of pot so that nothing is sticking.
  3. Add in the cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, tomato sauce, picante sauce, green chiles, ranch beans, corn, carrot and rice. Don’t stir.
  4. Cover Instant Pot and secure the lid. Make sure valve is set to sealing. Set the SOUP button to 22 minutes for brown rice or 5 minutes for white rice. When time is up let pot sit for 10 minutes and then move valve to venting. Remove the lid.
  5. Stir well. Ladle into bowls and top with Fritos, cheese and avocados. 

Slow Cooker Instructions:

  1. Heat a pan over medium high heat. Add in the beef and break it up. Add in the onion. Brown for about 5 minutes. Drain off excess grease. Add into the slow cooker. 
  2. Add in the broth, cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, tomato sauce, picante sauce, green chiles, ranch beans, corn, carrot and rice. Stir.
  3. Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 4 hours, or until rice is cooked through. (Each slow cooker cooks differently and brown rice will take much longer than white rice to cook.)
  4. Stir and ladle into bowls and top with Fritos, cheese and avocados.
