  • Place ground beef in the pressure cooker over medium-high heat; cook until brown and crumbly, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove beef; drain off excess fat.
  • Heat olive oil in the pressure cooker over medium heat; stir in onion, green pepper, and jalapeño. Cook and stir until onion has softened, about 3 to 4 minutes. Add garlic; cook and stir for about 30 seconds. Stir in browned beef, diced tomatoes, kidney beans, water, tomato paste, chili powder, brown sugar, cocoa powder, cumin, salt, and red pepper flakes.
  • Lock the lid, bring the cooker up to pressure, reduce heat to maintain pressure, and cook for 8 minutes. Remove the cooker from the heat, and let the pressure reduce on its own, 5 to 10 minutes.
  • When the pressure is fully released, remove the lid, stir the chili and serve.
