It\u2019s great for entertaining or meal prepping, and all you need is hamburger buns. Or, if you\u2019re feeling like going the extra mile, homemade buns<\/a>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n Our completely from-scratch Sweet-and-Spicy Sloppy Joes in our Electric Pressure Cooker Cookbook<\/a><\/em> was created over five years ago! Since then, we’ve learned a few new tips and tricks, so we decided to update that recipe with this new and improved version.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Here\u2019s what you need for this fast Sloppy Joe recipe:<\/p>\n\n\n\n This easy recipe will work in any brand of electric pressure cooker, including the Instant Pot<\/a>, Ninja Foodi<\/a>, or Power Pressure Cooker XL<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Start by tossing the beef<\/strong> with 2 tablespoons water, salt, and baking soda. Let it sit for about 30 minutes<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Select Saut\u00e9 to preheat your Instant Pot. When it\u2019s hot, add 1 tablespoon oil. Add the diced onion and the remaining baking soda and stir to coat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is softened. Add the garlic and cook for about 30 seconds. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Next add the beef<\/strong>. Cook until the beef is browned and crumbled. Add the spice mixture<\/strong> and stir until the spices are well combined, about a minute.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Add the beef broth<\/strong> and scrape any browned bits up from the bottom of the pot. Make sure the ground beef is distributed evenly on the bottom of the pot. Pour in the tomato mixture and do NOT stir.<\/strong> Lock the lid in place. Select High Pressure with a 20 minute cook time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n When the cook time ends, turn off the pressure cooker. Let the pressure release naturally for 10 minutes, then finish releasing the pressure with a quick release. When the valve drops, carefully remove the lid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Stir in the red wine vinega<\/strong>r. Then use a potato masher to mash the beef into small bits, about 1 minute. Select Saut\u00e9 again and cook the sauce for about 5 minutes, stirring frequently, to reduce it slightly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and cold wat<\/strong>er until smooth. Add the cornstarch slurry to the pot, stirring constantly until the Sloppy Joe mixture thickens, about 1 minute. Season to taste with additional salt, sugar, and vinegar. <\/p>\n\n\n\n When you\u2019re ready to serve, scoop heaping spoonfuls on toasted sandwich buns. Top with pickles, if you like, and serve immediately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Tossing the beef with baking soda before you start cooking<\/strong> helps keep the beef tender and juicy as it cooks under pressure. You\u2019ll also add baking soda to the skillet with the onion when it starts cooking. This helps the onion break down so the flavor infuses into the entire dish. <\/p>\n\n\n\n If you decide to use 90% lean ground beef, expect it to be a little less tender.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Remember that the mixture will thicken as it cools! <\/p>\n\n\n\n Yes, you can skip the baking soda. However, you will likely need to brown the meat in batches and drain off any fat, so it may not save as much time as you’d hope.<\/p> <\/div> Store leftover filling in an airtight container in the fridge for up to four days. Reheat on the stove or in the microwave to serve.\u00a0<\/p> <\/div> To freeze leftovers, let the sloppy joe filling cool fully. Then transfer it to a freezer-safe container and freeze for up to six months. Reheat from frozen or thaw overnight in the fridge.\u00a0<\/p> <\/div> Yes! No need to change anything about the cook times if you swap in ground turkey for the beef.\u00a0<\/p> <\/div> I honestly cannot eat or even talk about Sloppy Joes without singing the Adam Sandler sketch from SNL. “Sloppy joes, slop, sloppy joes<\/a>…”<\/p> <\/div> <\/div>\n\n\n\n You\u2019ll love these other simple recipes using ground beef in the pressure cooker:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Do you LOVE this recipe? <\/strong><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n
