Instant Pot Instructions:

  1. Pour 1 ½ cups water into bottom of Instant Pot. Scatter the sliced potatoes into a steamer basket*. Drop the steamer basket into the Instant Pot. Cover Instant Pot and secure the lid. Make sure valve is set to sealing. Set the manual/pressure cook button to 1 minute. When time is up move valve to venting. Remove the lid. Set the steamer basket aside, discard the water in bottom of the pot. 
  2. Turn Instant Pot to saute setting. When display says HOT add in the ground beef and break it up. Add in the onions and green peppers. Cook for about 7 minutes, until beef is cooked through and onions are soft. Drain off any excess grease.
  3. Stir in the salt, pepper, garlic powder, smoked paprika, oregano, parsley, tomatoes, Worcestershire and tomato sauce. Simmer for 3 minutes.
  4. Fold in the potatoes to coat in the sauce. If using cheese sprinkle it into the pot and let it melt.
