GROUND BEEF FREEZER MEALS & INSTRUCTIONS:
(preparing from freezer instructions are found in the printable versions of each recipe)
How to Cook Ground Beef in Instant Pot
→ place trivet in an instant pot with 1/2 cup of water, cook 1-3 pounds of thawed ground beef at high pressure for 6 minutes and let it release naturally (can fast release if in a time crunch).
→Make sure meat is formed evenly so it will cook evenly
→ To cook frozen ground beef in an instant pot, follow the same instructions above, except cook for 25 minutes on high pressure and let release naturally.
→ place meat onto a plate or in a bowl and chop with a knife or crumble with a fork
One pound ground beef = about 3 cups of cooked, chopped, ground beef
