Instructions

1. Make sure the stainless steel insert is in your Instant Pot. Press "saute" setting and wait until the display shows HOT.
2. Add oil, garlic, onion and bell pepper. Saute for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring often.
3. Add cumin, chili powder and oregano to vegetables and saute for 1 to 2 minutes, stirring constantly.
4. Add meat and cook until done, breaking it up with a wooden spoon.
5. Press "cancel/off" button. Add 1/2 cup of water to the Instant Pot and scrape any cooked-on bits from the bottom of the pot. This will prevent the burn message and ensure all the flavor is in the dish.

7. Add macaroni and remaining water. Push the pasta down with a spoon into the liquid.
8. Add diced tomatoes in the center of the dish. Pour tomato sauce over diced tomatoes. Do not stir!

10. Make sure the Instant Pot is set to cook at high pressure. Press "manual" setting and set the timer to 5 minutes.
11. The Instant Pot will beep and start coming to pressure. It can take about 5 to 7 minutes.
12. Once the timer is done, press "cancel/off" button and wait 1 minute. Switch the valve to venting position.
13. Carefully open the lid away from your face.
14. Stir the macaroni. Let it sit for 5 minutes.
15. Stir again and sprinkle cheese over the chili mac.
16. Close the lid and let the cheese melt, wait 5 minutes.
