I have a huge list of really cheap Instant Pot recipes that is really popular, all of them cost $10 or less to make and serve a family of 5 easily.

What can I do with ground beef in the Instant Pot

There are SO many things. If you want to just cook the meat like you would in a skillet you can do just that. For that you’d just use the saute function. Add a bit of olive oil so it doesn’t stick and add your hamburger. Break it up and press off once it is browned on the outside to your liking.

If you forgot to defrost you can also cook Instant Pot frozen ground beef in it. I will explain both methods in the recipe card below for you.

Flavorful Instant Pot taco meat takes beef in the Instant Pot to the next level.

We love our pressure cooker stroganoff recipe here. All you need is a bit of salt and pepper for seasoning.

Almost all of these can be “spiced up” with half spicy ground sausage and half hamburger meat too. That is how we add a ton of flavor easily.

Easy Instant Pot lasagna is fun if you want a traditional Italian dish but a lot less work. Skip those floppy hard to handle noodles and use small shells or any other shape you want.

It has all the flavor and ingredients but NO Layering or boiling required beforehand.

If you’ve never made stuffed peppers before they are really tasty. I have the recipe below, as well as one for stuffed pepper casserole above.

They are both yummy but the casserole is a bit easier to make if you’re looking for super simple.

  • I recommend using a wooden spoon when sauteeing your meat to avoid scratching the pot.

  • Ground beef is so very versatile and really inexpensive too. There are a multitude of ways to use it and many are quite healthy if you buy 90/10 and drain the grease.

I have found that using ground turkey works just as well most of the time. It just has a different texture.

I used it to make this Instant Pot Mexican pizza though and it was a huge hit at our house using my springform pan.

  • I recommend you getting 1 because I use it to make dinners and desserts all the time.

Easy Instant Pot stuffed peppers are just like you remember in your childhood but much faster cook times. NO need to blanch peppers beforehand, the pot does all the work for you y’all.

I mean, you can’t go wrong with adding cheese to really any of these creations.

Stirred in at the end and/or sprinkled on top and gently place lid back on so it melts, both turn everything amazing.

We really enjoy Lipton Onion Soup Mix as a pantry staple. Works great for tinfoil/hobo dinners, homemade hamburgers, meatballs, and even hamburger stroganoff!

My question – does 1 pound of meat and ten small potatoes provide a full meal for 4 in the meatloaf meal? Or do you guys have to add other things when serving? We have 6 and I feel we would have to double or do 2.5 times for this recipe.

Your recipes look amazing! I’m trying to make the hamburger rice casserole but you don’t give amounts. How much rice, how much milk? How much chicken stock?
