Instructions

  • Fry bacon in large cast iron skillet, or substitute with precooked bacon.

  • Brown ground beef in cast iron skillet with bacon drippings. Alternatively, you can brown ground beef in the InstantPot set to saute. Lightly salt and pepper beef to taste.
  • Add dried minced onion.
  • When beef begins to brown add onion. Continue to cook until beef is no longer pink and onions are soft.
  • Drain fat and put beef in the InstantPot. If you browned the meat in the InstantPot, turn off the pot.
  • Add tomatoes, tomato juice, beef broth, Worcestershire, ketchup, mustard and hamburger seasoning. Stir to combine.
  • Pour uncooked pasta into InstantPot. Stir to combine, covering as much of the pasta as you can with the liquid in the pot.

  • Select “manual” or “high pressure” setting. Set timer to 6 minutes.
  • Allow InstantPot to do a natural release for 1 minute, then quick release the pressure.
