Ingredients

2 pounds ground beef
½ onion diced
1 green bell pepper diced
2 teaspoon minced garlic
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pepper
1 teaspoon Italian Seasoning
2 cans crushed tomatoes 14.5 oz
1 can diced tomatoes 14.5 0z
3 cups beef broth
3 cups dry uncooked macaroni

Instructions

Set the Instant Pot to Sauté. Add the ground beef and diced onion and cook until the beef is browned, breaking it apart as it cooks. Drain excess grease if needed.
Stir in the green bell pepper, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
Add the crushed tomatoes, diced tomatoes, beef broth, and uncooked macaroni. Stir to combine.
Secure the lid and set the valve to Sealing. Cook on High Pressure for 2 minutes.
When the cooking time is complete, carefully perform a quick release of the pressure.
Remove the lid and stir well. Serve immediately.

Notes

Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
The pasta will continue to absorb the liquid as it sits, so the sauce will thicken as it cools.
If the mixture is thicker than desired, stir in a small amount of beef broth before serving or reheating.
Ground turkey or ground chicken can be substituted for the ground beef.
Drain any excess grease after browning the ground beef, if needed.
After pressure cooking, carefully perform a quick release to prevent the pasta from overcooking.
