Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 medium onion chopped
- 2 large carrots peeled & chopped or sliced
- 2 sticks celery chopped
- 1.5 pounds extra lean ground beef
- 1.5 pounds lean ground pork
- 7 ounces mushrooms (I used white ones) chopped
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 1 (13.5 ounce) can tomato sauce
- 1 (28 fluid ounce) can stewed or diced tomatoes with juices
- 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- salt & pepper to taste
- 1/2-3/4 cup heavy/whipping cream (or to taste) optional
Instructions
- Prep your ingredients.
- Add the olive oil, onion, carrots, and celery to your Instant Pot. Sauté, stirring occasionally, for 4 minutes.
- Add the ground meat to your Instant Pot and give it a good stir so the veggies on the bottom don't get stuck on and burn. Continue to sauté, stirring often, until the meat is browned (it's a lot of meat and it's ok if it doesn't all brown). This will take about 10 minutes.
- Stir in the other ingredients except for the salt & pepper and cream.
- Make sure the valve is on "sealing". Cook on high pressure for 10 minutes.
- Once the countdown has finished, let the pressure naturally release for 15 minutes and then quick release the rest of the pressure if you're in hurry.
- Season with salt & pepper as needed (I add a fair bit of salt because this is a large quantity of pasta sauce). Stir in cream if using. Serve it up with your favorite pasta and freshly grated parmesan cheese. I like to portion out the rest and freeze it right away.

Notes
- Inactive time indicates the time it'll take the Instant Pot to get up to pressure and then release pressure.
- Want to make this recipe on the stove? You definitely can. Use this spaghetti sauce recipe as a guideline.
- I use this 6-quart Instant Pot.
