IP Spaghetti and Meat Sauce
 
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ pound spaghetti
  • 24 oz. marinara sauce (Marzetti)
  • 14.5 oz. diced tomatoes, undrained
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1 tblsp cream cheese, softened
  • Set the instant pot to Sautee. Add the ground beef. Cook and crumble the ground beef until it is browned and cooked through. Drain any excess grease if needed,
  • Stir in the seasonings. Use a silicone spatula to scrape up any brown bits that might be stuck to the bottom of the pan. (This helps prevent the burn indicator message.)
  • Break the spaghetti noodles in half. Crisscross them over the meat so that they don't stick together.
  • Add the chicken broth and undrained diced tomatoes over the noodles. Top with marinara and ensure the noodles are submerged.
  • Cover/Seal the Instant Pot and set it to pressure cook for 8 minutes (Or, select the manual button and hit high pressure for 8 minutes). Note: It might sound like nothing is happening but if you put your ear up to the instant pot after a few minutes, you can hear it working.
  • Turn the quick release valve to let all of the steam escape, and open the pot. (Do not let the pressure release naturally as this will overcook the pasta.)
  • Stir in the cream cheese. The sauce will continue to thicken upon standing. Serve, and enjoy!
