Instructions

Instant Pot Instructions:

  1. Turn Instant Pot to sauté setting. When display says HOT add in the beef and break it up. Then add in the onion, salt, pepper, garlic powder and Italian seasoning. Brown the beef for about 5 minutes. Turn off Instant Pot.
  2. Add in the peppers, tomatoes, broth, tomato juice and rice. Scrape the bottom of the pot so that nothing is sticking.
