- 1 pound ground beef lean
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 1 medium onion diced
- 1 medium red bell pepper diced
- 1 medium green bell pepper diced
- 3 cups beef broth
- 1 cup long grain white rice or brown rice, uncooked
- 15 ounces tomato sauce (1 can)

Instructions
- Press saute and cook the ground beef, seasoning it with a bit of salt and pepper, until no longer pink. Drain any excess grease. Add the garlic and onion and cook for 1-2 minutes. Press cancel.
- Add in a small amount of the beef broth and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot. This will help prevent a burn warning.
- Add the peppers, broth, rice, tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, Italian seasoning, red pepper flakes, and salt and pepper to taste.
- Secure and seal the lid. Cook on Manual High pressure for 5 minutes.
- Allow a natural 10-minute release, then carefully open the valve to do a quick release. Serve garnished with cheese and parsley, if desired.
