Instructions

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