Instant Pot Bbq Sloppy Joes 21 Day Fix Includes Stove Top Directions Recipes

INSTANT POT® SLOPPY JOES

Steps:

• Turn on a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®) and select Saute function. Add oil and tip pot to coat the entire bottom. Add ground beef, onion, and red bell pepper. Season with salt and black pepper. Cook and stir until vegetables are soft and beef is no longer pink, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain and discard grease.
• Add garlic to the pot and cook another 30 seconds. Add vinegar. Stir in water, brown sugar, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, tomato paste, chili powder, and red pepper flakes. Add crushed tomatoes and stir well.
• Close and lock the lid and close the vent. Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 5 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.
• Meanwhile, toast hamburger buns and coat with butter.
• Release pressure using the natural-release method according to manufacturer's instructions for 10 minutes. Release remaining pressure carefully using the quick-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, about 5 minutes. Unlock and remove the lid.
• Serve on toasted buns.

INSTANT POT BBQ SLOPPY JOES {21 DAY FIX | INCLUDES STOVE TOP DIRECTIONS}

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, whisk together all of the sauce ingredients, set aside.
• Spray the bottom of your Instant Pot with olive oil cooking spray. Turn on saute function and add the peppers, onions and ground turkey. Season with a little salt and pepper. Use a spatula to break up the meat.
• Once the meat is broken up (it doesn't have to be cooked at all, it'll cook while under pressure), stir in all of the barbecue sauce, lock the lid in place and set to manual for 2 minutes. When it's finished, quick release the pressure and give it a stir. If it's too liquid-y, turn saute function back on and let the liquid cook out a bit (I didn't have to do this, but letting you know just in case!) and serve on whatever you like!
• Heat a large non-stick skillet to medium heat, then add the peppers, onions and ground turkey. Season lightly with salt and pepper. Break up the ground turkey and continue to cook until turkey is cooked through. Stir in the sauce and heat through, check seasoning and add a little salt and/or pepper if necessary (I like a lot of pepper in mine!).
• Serve with sandwich thins, buns, bread, 1/2 pitas or lettuce leaves - whatever floats your boat!
