Heat oil in the Instant Pot on sauté mode.

Sauté chopped green bell pepper and onion until softened.

Add ground beef, browning it and breaking it up with a wooden spoon as it cooks.

Once the beef is browned, add all remaining ingredients except the cream: beef broth, chili powder, dill, garlic powder, sea salt, onion powder, dried oregano, cumin, paprika, minced garlic, green chilies, and diced tomatoes.

Put the lid on the Instant Pot and change the valve to sealing.

Cook on high pressure for 10 minutes.

After cooking, switch the vent from venting to sealing to release the steam and take the lid off.

To make it creamy, pour in heavy cream or coconut cream for a dairy-free option.
