Add the onion and pepper and sauté for 5 mins until softened.

Stir in the garlic followed by the beef and brown it making sure to break it up. Please remove ANY excess water from the beef using a scoop. You want the beef to be dry as it is cooking so that it caramelises a little bit (for the awesome chilli flavour that we know and love).

Add in the stock and quickly deglaze the inner pot (by scraping the bottom with a wooden spoon) in case anything is stuck on.

Then add in the remaining ingredients ending with chopped tomatoes and beans on top. Do NOT stir.
