15 - 1 pound ground beef chuck (80:20)
16 - Salt, as needed
17 - Black pepper, as needed
18 - 6 to 12 King's Hawaiian rolls
19 - 6 to 12 slices American cheese
20 - Onion, thin slices if you want
21 - Tomato, thin slices if you want
22 - Yellow mustard, if you want

# Step-by-Step Directions:

01 - Turn the Instant Pot to 'Sear.' Toss in the ground beef and grated carrot together right away.
02 - Dump masarepa or masa harina into a little pan with vegetable oil. Cook on gentle heat and stir nonstop, stopping once it’s kind of a peanut butter color. Let it chill to cool down.
03 - Push the chili powder, paprika, salt, black pepper, sugar, onion powder, garlic powder, beef broth, apple cider vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, plus the cooled roux into the pot with your beef and carrots. Mix it up well.
04 - Turn off sear mode. Lock on the lid and shut the steam valve tight. Pick 'Manual' for 15 minutes and let it run, then turn the whole thing off.
05 - Carefully crack the steam valve open with a wooden spoon handle. Hold off until all the pressure is gone before lifting the top.
06 - Switch back to 'Sear.' Stir a lot so the chili thickens however you like it.
07 - Slice up the rest of your beef into twelve chunks and mash them into little patties. Sprinkle salt and pepper on both sides.
08 - Fry up those patties in a skillet on medium-high heat until you like how done they are.
09 - Pop a piece of American cheese over each patty. Melt it quick in the microwave if you need to.
10 - Split King’s Hawaiian rolls in half, stuff with one or two slider patties, spoon your hot chili on top, and pile on toppings like tomato, onion, or mustard if you want them.

# Helpful Notes:

01 - If you want your chili thinner, just stir in more broth after cooking and give it another taste.
