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?
Christina Hitchcock says
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.
Dissatisfied T says
Christina,
Using a brand new 12 quart instant pot beef came out at 140°. Fail.
Christina Hitchcock says
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.
Cassandra D says
I would say Roast beef.
Angelica Dimeo says
I like Hamburger so many things you can make with it.
Jennifer Adams says
Ground beef is my favorite cut of beef to cook with because of the variety of things I can do with it.
Wendy McBride says
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!
