Notes
- Lean ground beef can be replaced with sausage (or some sausage). Drain fat if needed. Ground turkey or chicken work in this recipe too.
- Extra vegetables can be added. Keep in mind vegetables contain a lot of water and the sauce may need to be thickened a little bit.
- Layer the tomatoes on top of the beef to avoid getting a 'burn' notification.
- To thicken the sauce once cooked, turn the Instant Pot onto saute and cook uncovered until thickened.
