# How to Make It:
01 -
Tear open the King's Hawaiian buns and pack them with one or two patties for each. Pop some hot chili on top of the patties. Throw on extras like tomato, onion, or mustard if you want.
02 -
Lay a piece of American cheese right on those hot patties. If the cheese doesn't melt, just zap it in the microwave for a few seconds.
03 -
Sear the patties in a frying pan over medium-high heat until they're brown all the way through or cooked exactly how you like.
04 -
Split the rest of your ground beef into twelve chunks, press them into mini burgers, then sprinkle salt and pepper on both sides.
05 -
Fire up the Instant Pot again to sear and stir the chili often until it's as thick as you want.
06 -
With a wooden spoon handle, gently open the steam escape valve. Wait until every bit of pressure is gone before you take off the lid.
07 -
Turn off the sear mode. Close and lock the Instant Pot's lid, keeping the steam knob shut. Hit manual for 15 minutes. Once it finishes, power off the Instant Pot.
08 -
Dump chili powder, paprika, salt, pepper, sugar, onion powder, garlic powder, both cups of broth, cider vinegar, Worcestershire, and the cooled roux in with the beef and carrots. Mix it up real good.
09 -
Whisk masarepa or masa harina with vegetable oil in a tiny pot. Warm it up over low and stir all the time until it's a medium brown kinda like peanut butter, then let it cool off.
10 -
Toss the ground beef and those shredded carrots into the Instant Pot on 'Sear.' Let them cook together.
# Additional Tips:
01 -
Want your chili thinner? Pour in more broth at the end and tweak the salt and spices to taste.
