Instant pot: meat spaghetti

https://thesaltymarshmallow.com/instant-pot-spaghetti/

I modified the recipe from the site above and it came out decent.  Vero really likes it.  I feel there’s a little bit of flavour needed.  The comments section mentions someone adding some brown sugar as they like a sweeter taste,  I may try that next time.  Update: I did try the cup of brown sugar and while good, I wasn’t a fan.  I need to figure out the missing ingredient.

Ingredients

  • 2 Pounds Lean Ground Beef 
  • 3/4Teaspoon EACH Salt, Garlic Powder, Onion Powder
  • 1 Pound Spaghetti Noodles (this is one package of noodles)
  • 1 jar of tomato and basil spaghetti sauce
  • 1 1/2 Jars of water (just use the jar from the spaghetti sauce)
  • 1 large (28 oz) Can Diced Tomatoes
  • Set the Instant Pot to saute’ and add the ground beef.  Add the salt, garlic powder, onion powder.  Cook the meat and seasonings, breaking the meat up until it’s completely browned.  Turn the Instant Pot off. Drain any excess grease from meat if necessary.
  • Break the spaghetti in half and place on top of meat in the Instant Pot.  Pour over the spaghetti sauce, diced tomato, and water.  Push the spaghetti down with a spoon if necessary to make sure it is completely covered in liquid.
  • Seal the instant pot and set it to manual mode, high pressure, 8 minutes cooking time.  When the time is up, use manual quick release to open the Instant Pot.  Stir the spaghetti well.  Serve immediately

Theres a lot of spaghetti to eat,  I wouldn’t be surprised if we have leftovers for two more nights.
