My father has been going through some major health issues and needs to eat more. We were out at a restaurant and he ordered Lamb Chili, which he absolutely loved. I decided to make him a big pot of it and have included two methods - stovetop and Instant Pot. This was definitely a labor of love given that I really hate lamb!

  • Prep: 20 mins
  • Cook: 40 mins
  • Yields: 6 - 8 Servings

Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil

4 garlic cloves, chopped

3 medium green bell peppers, chopped

2 medium onions, chopped

2 pounds ground lamb

2 medium spiced cans chili beans, drained

1 mild spiced can chili beans, drained

2 stewed tomato cans

2 tablespoons salt

2 tablespoons ground pepper

2 tablespoons chili powder

1 tablespoon celery seed

1 tablespoon paprika

1 tablespoon cumin

sour cream, for garnish

cheddar cheese, for garnish

jalapeños, for garnish

Directions

Stovetop

1Add the olive oil to a large soup pot and place it over medium-high heat. Add the onion and bell peppers. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add the ground lamb to the pot. Break it apart with a wooden spoon. Then add all spices, tomatoes and beans, bring to a low boil. Then, reduce the heat (low to medium-low) to gently simmer the chili, uncovered, for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally.

2Serve with assorted toppings.


Instant Pot

1Turn your Instant Pot to Sauté, then select More. Add the olive oil to the pot. Add the lamb and cook until browned, breaking up the beef with a spatula as you stir.

2Add the onion and bell peppers and cook for 3 more minutes or until softened.

3Add all spices, tomatoes and beans, and stir to combine.

4Turn the Instant Pot to the Chili/Beans setting and place the lid on the pot. Cook for 20 minutes. Release the pressure either manually or allow it to release naturally.

5Serve with assorted toppings.
