  • 1 can (7 ounces) mild green chiles

  • 2 cups frozen corn
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon ground coriander
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder

Utensils

  • Step 1

    Place the Ninja PossiblePot over medium-high heat, then add the oil and beef. Cook until browned, about 10 minutes. Remove the beef from the pan and set aside. Leave the oil in the pan.

  • Step 2

    Add the onion and pepper. Sauté until softened, about 5 to 7 minutes.

  • Step 3

    Add the tomato paste and sauté until the paste has deepened in color, about 3 minutes. Add the beans, chilies, tomatoes, corn, reserved beef, and all the seasoning. Mix until fully combined.

  • Step 4

    Add the beef stock. Stir well to combine, then bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium and simmer uncovered for 45 minutes or until the liquid is reduced by 1/3.

  • Step 5

    When cooking is complete, let the chili cool slightly. Top with cheddar cheese and sour cream if desired.
