Equipment

  • 1 Instant Pot

Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound grass-fed ground beef
  • 1 teaspoon granulated onion
  • 1 teaspoon granulated garlic
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • dash of cayenne pepper
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce gluten free
  • 1/4 cup ketchup
  • 4 cups beef broth gluten free
  • 12 ounce gluten free elbow pasta
  • 8 ounce shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 2 tablespoons butter

Instructions
 

  • Set Instant Pot to sauté mode and place ground beef in pot.
  • Allow to cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes.
  • As the ground beef is cooking use a heat proof spatula to break up the beef into small pieces.
  • Once ground beef is done, add granulated onion, granulated garlic, paprika, pink salt, black pepper, and a dash of cayenne pepper to pot and mix into ground beef.
  • Allow spices to heat up and bloom for about 30 seconds until fragrant. (This adds to the flavor.)
  • Add gluten free elbow pasta to the pot and stir. Ensure that noodles are pushed down into the liquid so they cook evenly.
  • End Sauté mode on the Instant Pot.
  • Place lid on pot, turn to locked position, and set vent to sealed position.
  • Manually switch pot to "pressure cook" for 4 minutes.
  • When cooking time is complete, release pressure by turning the vent to venting position and allow steam to vent until the floating valve drops.
  • Turn lid to unlock it, and remove it from the pot.
  • Add cheese and butter to noodles and stir until melted.
