Pressure Cooker Chili

Approximate Time: 1 1/2 hrs (with cutting meat)
Servings: 4

Ingredients
3 lb stew meat (pork is the best, it is more tender than beef)
2 tsp. Peanut oil
1 1/2 tsp. kosher salt
1 1/2 c. beef broth
1 16 oz. container of salsa
30 t0rtilla chips, crunched up
2 chipotle peppers canned in adobo sauce, chopped
1 T. adobo sauce from peppers
1 T. tomato paste
1 T. chili powder
1 tsp. ground cumin

Directions
Place cut up meat in large mixing bowl and toss with peanut oil and salt. Heat 6 qt. pressure cooker and add meat and brown in 2-3 batches (all can't fit in one batch). Remove all meat and pour in broth, bring to a boil & stir (getting anything that may be on the bottom of the pan off.) Add brown meat into pressure cooker. Add salsa, chips, peppers, adobo sauce, tomato paste, chili powder, and cumin. Lock lid in place until steam comes out, cook for 25 minutes.

*This recipe is one that we got from my father-in-law. He makes it when we go out. I made this for Christmas Eve dinner and then again for New Year's Eve dinner with my entire family and it was a big hit. This is quite spicy, so if you don't like spicy, you could try to make it with everything but the peppers (but still add the adobo sauce.) It's not your normal kind of chili, but it is SO GOOD!!!! We always double the recipe and eat as leftovers or serve it on top of egg breakfast burritos.
