Ingredients
- 2 lbs 93% lean ground beef
- 2 tsp kosher salt divided
- 1 tsp freshly ground black pepper
- 1 medium onion chopped
- 1 large green bell pepper seeded and chopped
- 2 TB olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 2 cups ketchup
- 6 oz tomato paste
- 2 TB brown sugar packed
- 1 TB prepared mustard
- Other: shredded cheddar cheese, pickles, and buns for serving
Instructions
- Turn Instant Pot to sauté mode. Add ground beef, 1 tsp kosher salt, and black pepper. Cook until browned. Drain if desired. Transfer to a bowl and set aside.
- Continuing in sauté mode, heat oil until very hot. Add onions, garlic, green peppers, and remaining 1 tsp kosher salt. Cook until onions are soft, 2-3 minutes. Add the browned beef back into the pot. Turn sauté mode off.
- Stir in the ketchup, tomato paste, brown sugar, and mustard to combine well. Cover tightly and pressure cook on high for 5 minutes. Let pressure cooker "natural release" for 12 minutes. Manually release the remaining pressure and carefully open lid. Stir and serve warm, with desired garnishes.
