Cup of Yum
Notes
- For something different, serve Instant Pot Sloppy Joes the ‘Jamie Oliver way.’ Jamie serves his sloppy joes inside of whole wheat wraps instead of hamburger buns.
- Make sure to use lean ground beef. If you don’t, you will need to drain the excess fat before adding the meat to the Instant Pot.
- Tamari soy sauce is my ‘secret ingredient’ that adds great depth of flavor, but you can also use fish sauce instead.
- If you like a little heat, add in chili flakes or some diced jalapeno peppers.
- Storage - keep in an airtight container inside the fridge for 3 days.
- There are 9 WW Blue Plan SmartPoints in one serving of this.
