Equipment Instant Pot

Steps

1. 1

   Turn the Instant Pot onto "Saute" mode. Lightly coat the pot with cooking spray. Add ground beef. Break it apart with a wooden spoon and let it cook a little and then add onion. Continue to cook until onion is soft and ground beef is no longer pink. If there is excess grease, you can drain it off.

2. 2

   Add seasonings and stir to mix well.

3. 3

   Add remaining ingredients. If pot is getting too full, you can add the beans at the end.

4. 4

   Turn Instant Pot off. Put lid on and turn valve to "sealing". Set it for Pressure Cook on High for 10 minutes. It won't start counting down the time until the pressure builds up which can take as long as 15 minutes.

5. 5

   Once time is done, do a quick pressure release. Once pin drops, remove lid.

6. 6

   If you didn't add beans before, stir them in now. Check for seasoning and add salt if needed.
