    Great recipe, TY!… Bad information. I’m looking to do fresh GB and your recipe is VERY VERY vague, in the instructions you say “see notes” … NOTES
    If cooking fresh ground beef, adjust manual cooking time to 6 minutes.
    Now, is that subtract 6 mins for a cook time of 18 mins or ONLY cook for 6 mins?

      Just as the recipe and notes state, you would adjust the time to 6 minutes. It doesn’t state to subtract but instead ADJUST the cook time.

      I’m sorry you had trouble with this recipe. I’ve used it dozens of times and it comes out perfect every time. I even demoed it on TV using the exact recipe with the exact measurements in the recipe and it came out perfect.

    Ground beef is my favorite to cook with! Everything from Hamburgers to Taco Spaghetti! Yes, you read right….Taco Spaghetti was a new, different, favorite that my family loved. I have many recipes awaiting to try in an Instant Pot someday when I get one. Funds have been tight since I have been staying home helping raise my granddaughter, but loving it!
