  • ¾ cup onion chopped (about ½ medium onion)
  • 1 cup carrot sliced (about 3 carrots)
  • 1 cup celery chopped (about 2 stalks)
  • 2 teaspoons minced garlic

Instructions

  • Set your Instant Pot to the Saute function and add the ground beef and onions. Cook for 3-5 minutes, breaking into pieces, until the beef is browned and no longer pink.
  • Add the garlic and cook for an additional 30-60 seconds, stirring. Drain grease if necessary. 
  • Clear the Saute setting. Add the remaining ingredients to the cooked ground beef and stir to combine them all.
