I am trying to pull this chili recipe off without the burn warning going off on my instant pot. I have gotten away with it about 2/5 times I have tried it.

• Basically at a high level the recipe is:
  3lbs browned ground beef
• 2 cups brown rice
• 3 cups water
• 2 cans of beans
• 1 large can of crushed tomatoes
• 2 diced bell peppers, 2 yellow onions diced, carrots diced, other peppers diced
• Seasonings

​

I currently brown and sear the veggies meat together outside the pot. So those go in together. If I shouldn't do that I am absolutely down.

​

The first time I tried I mixed everything together. That obviously didn't work.

Every time since I have layered with meat veggies at bottom, then beans, then crushed tomatoes, then raw rice, then water. This was successful twice.

Often I feel like it almost makes it to pressure. A lot of steam is coming out and when I open it up everything is bubbling. But the burn warning still persists.

Today I tried putting a sort of foil cup on top of the trundle and putting meat and veggies in there but obviously as it's a lot of material it overflowed. This also meant beans were probably getting to the bottom of the pot around it.

​

I am looking for any and all suggestions of how I could layer this recipe better or how to better trivet/pot within a pot that volume of veggies meat.

Perhaps this recipe is just doomed. But I am trying to learn how to make my own big high protein/nutrition recipes in this machine. Any suggestion is appreciated.
