Servings: 8
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 pounds lean ground beef
- 2 teaspoons sea salt
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 cup chopped white onion (about 1 medium)
- 1 yellow bell pepper, diced
- 1 8-ounce can tomato sauce
- ½ cup brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- ½ cup water
Instructions
- Press Saute on the Instant Pot, and when it reads HOT, add the olive oil. Then, add the ground beef, and break up with a wooden spoon or spatula
- Cook beef until no longer pink, and press Cancel to turn off and remove excess grease, if necessary.
- Press Saute again, then stir in sea salt, pepper, garlic powder, paprika and onions, and cook until onions are slightly soft. Stir in diced bell pepper, then hit Cancel again. Make sure no meat is stuck to bottom of pot. You may have to add a little water to deglaze, if it is.
- Add the tomato sauce, brown sugar and mustard over the meat mixture, but do not stir together. Pour water around the sides of the meat.
- Cover with lid, set valve to Sealing position, and hit PRESSURE COOK for 10 minutes.
- After cook time, do a gradual quick release -- gradually turn the valve to the left to release pressure. When pressure is fully released, and pin drops, open lid, and stir.
- Hit Cancel to turn pot off, then hit Saute and cook for about 5 minutes to reduce extra liquid, stirring occasionally. Hit Cancel to turn pot off, and allow meat to cool slightly. Then serve on toasted buns.
