Ingredients (22)

  • 14 oz 85% lean ground beef
  • 4 hamburger buns
  • 4 oz red bell peppers diced
  • 4 oz onions diced
  • 2 oz celery diced
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1/3 cup homemade tomato sauce
  • 1/4 cup unsalted chicken broth
  • 3 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 1.5 oz cheddar cheese shredded
  • 2 oz cabbage shredded
  • 2 oz red cabbage shredded
  • 2 tsp garlic minced
  • 1/2 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp ground black pepper
  • 1 tbsp Heinz ketchup
  • 1/2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/4 tsp chili powder
  • 1/2 tsp traditional Dijon mustard

INSTRUCTIONS

1

Select the “sauté” mode on the Instant Pot. Heat 2 tbsp olive oil and 1 tbsp unsalted butter. When the butter has melted, sauté 2 tsp garlic, 4 oz diced onions, and 2 oz diced celery for 3 minutes. Stir in 4 oz bell peppers to cook for another 2 minutes.

2

Add 14 oz ground beef to the pot and break it apart so it cooks more evenly. Add 1/2 tbsp brown sugar, 1 tsp paprika, 1/4 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp pepper, 1 tbsp ketchup, 1/2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce, 1/4 tsp chili powder, and 1/2 tsp Dijon, and cook everything for 5 minutes.

3

Stir in 1/3 cup tomato sauce and add 1/4 cup unsalted chicken broth. Close the lid and turn the steam handle to “sealed”. Select the “meat stew” option and adjust the timer to 10 minutes.

4

When the machine finishes, place a kitchen towel on top of the steam handle and switch it to “venting” with a spoon. Wait for the steam to release and then quickly stir in 3 tbsp all-purpose flour. Select “sauté” mode again and cook for another 2 minutes.

5

Assemble the sloppy joes with the burger buns, the meat, the shredded cabbages and the cheese. Enjoy!
