Ingredients
- 2 lbs ground beef
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 yellow onion chopped
- 1 cup ketchup
- 2 tbsp mustard
- 2 tbsp brown sugar
- 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 cup beef broth or water
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper optional
- 8 hamburger buns
- sliced pickles for topping, optional
Instructions
- Set Instant Pot to saute. Add the ground beef, garlic and onion and cook until meat is no longer pink. Drain, if needed.
- Add the ketchup, mustard, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, water, salt, pepper and cayenne pepper to the pot. Mix well.
- Place the cover on the pot and set timer to 5 minutes on high pressure (pressure cook setting). It will take the IP around 9 minutes to build up pressure before it begins cooking.
- When cooking is done, let it release naturally for 10 minute. Then do a quick release. Remove cover, stir and let sit for 10 minutes before spooning into buns and serving. Top with pickle slices, if desired.
Notes
- I will occasionally add a splash of soy sauce to the mixture for an extra savory end result. I love the twist this adds. Just a splash, though!
- Add a chopped red, orange or green bell pepper to the pot along with the onions for extra crunch and flavor!
- Make this a low carb meal by turning them into a lettuce wrap "sandwich" instead of a traditional bun-enclosed sandwich.
- Add a few tablespoons of tomato paste for an extra robust flavor.
