Instructions

  1. Turn Instant Pot to saute setting. When display says HOT add in the beef and break it up. Add in the onion. Brown beef for about 5 minutes. Drain off excess grease.
  2. Stir in the garlic salt, pepper, onion powder and italian seasoning. Pour in the broth and scrape bottom of pot so that nothing is sticking.
