Orange Beef “Fried Rice” Casserole
Firehouse Chili
| By : |
Here’s a chili made with fresh tomatoes, not canned. We modeled it on the hearty, comfort-food chilis often made in firehouses across the United States. As such, it’s a little more savory than some other offerings, if also admittedly a little more work.

Instructions
- Press Saute, set time for 10 minutes.
- Pour the oil into a 6-quart cooker to warm for a minute or two. Then add the bell pepper, onion, and garlic. Cook, stirring often, until the onion softens, about 5 minutes. Stir in the tomatoes and continue cooking, stirring several times, until they begin to soften, about 2 minutes.
- Stir in the chile powder, oregano, cumin, coriander, and salt until fragrant, just a few seconds. Add the beans and broth, then crumble in the ground beef and stir well. Turn off the SAUTE function and lock the lid onto the pot.
- Optional 1 Max Pressure Cooker
Press Pressure cook on Max pressure for 6 minutes with the Keep Warm setting off. - Optional 2 All Pressure Cookers
Press Bean/Chili or Pressure cook (Manual) on High pressure for 8 minutes with the Keep Warm setting off. - Option 3 Slow Cook
Press Slow Cook option on High for 3 hours with Keep Warm setting off (or on for no more than 2 hours) - If you’ve used a pressure setting, when the machine has finished cooking, use the quick-release method to bring the pot’s pressure back to normal.
- Unlatch the lid and open the cooker.
- Press Saute, set time for 5 minutes.
- Stir in the tomato paste. Bring to a full simmer, stirring all the while. Stir for 2 or 3 minutes at a full simmer until a little bit thickened and almost irresistible. Turn off the SAUTE function and remove the hot insert from the cooker to stop the cooking.
Recipe Notes
Beyond
• For a 3-quart cooker, you must use 1/2 cup broth and halve the remaining ingredients.
• For an 8-quart cooker, you must keep the ingredients as they are but increase the broth to 1 1/4 cups—or simply increase all the ingredients by 50 percent.
• Serve with dollops of sour cream or plain Greek yogurt.
• And/or serve with spoonfuls of pickle relish, or even purchased India relish (a more savory version of pickle relish), as well as bottled hot red pepper sauce.
• Use a 50/50 mix of lean ground beef and lean ground pork.
