Optional: To thicken the sauce, remove ⅓ cup cooking liquid and stir together with 2 tablespoons flour. Return to the inner pot, and stir in.

Press CANCEL. Press SAUTE on the Instant Pot.

Let the mixture simmer until slightly thickened, about 3-4 minutes. Serve on a bun topped with provolone cheese, if desired.

Tips

  • Beef: I use 85% or 90% lean ground beef. The beef can dry out if you use leaner ground beef.
  • Mushrooms: You can add 8 ounces of washed and sliced button mushrooms with the onion and green pepper if you would like.
  • Beef base: I use Better than Bouillon roasted beef base.
  • Beef broth: I use reduced-sodium beef broth.
  • Buns: If you want to avoid a soggy bun, I recommend toasting the buns before using. For an even tastier bun, butter and then toast the bun before using.

Can I use a different type of cheese?

You can! Feel free to use American cheese or melted Cheez Whiz instead of the provolone.

Storage

The ground beef mixture can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.

    This was SO delicious and easy to make. Next time I'll double the amount of bell peppers, but otherwise it's a perfect recipe!
