Instant Pot Sloppy Joes

Step 1

Turn your pressure cooker to SAUTE, and add ground beef. Cook until brown and crumbly. Drain any excess grease or liquid and transfer meat to a plate. Set aside.

Step 2

While on SAUTE, add olive oil to pressure cooker. Add diced onion, green pepper, and garlic to instant pot. Cook for about 3-4 minutes, until peppers are softened.

Step 3

Add in crushed tomatoes, water, light brown sugar, worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, chili powder, dry mustard, salt, and pepper. Scrape up the bits that remain on the bottom of the pan.

Step 4

Add the beef to the mixture, stirring to combine. Lock the lid and turn valve to SEALING. Select HIGH PRESSURE and cook for 6 minutes.

Step 5

Use a quick pressure release and carefully remove the lid after the valve drops. If your sauce is too thin, SAUTE for a minute or two until it boils and thickens.

Step 6

Serve sloppy joe meat on a bun and enjoy!
