Step 1

Heat the Instant Pot for a few minutes on sauté mode. Once it’s hot, add the ground meat and cook, breaking up with a spatula, until the meat is browned. If using beef, drain off excess fat if needed.

Step 2

Add the garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, red pepper, salt, and black pepper and cook for another minute or two.

Step 3

Add the broth, tomato sauce, peppers, and rice and stir to mix.

Step 4

Close and the lid and pressure cook for 8 minutes. Once the cooking time is up, allow the pressure to release naturally for about 10 minutes, then quick release any remaining pressure.

Step 5

Serve hot.
