Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound ground beef, or ground sausage
- 2 tbsp brown sugar, more or less depending on desired flavor
- 3 tbsp mustard, more or less depending on desired flavor
- 3/4 cup ketchup, more or less depending on desired flavor
Instructions
- Set your Instant Pot to the sauté function and heat a few tablespoons of olive oil until hot.
- For added flavor, you may sauté 1/2 cup of diced onions, bell peppers, and 1 tablespoon of minced garlic for about 2 minutes until softened. If you prefer a simpler dish, skip this step.
- Add the ground beef to the pot and cook until the meat is no longer pink on the outside. If there's excess grease, drain it off.
- Mix in the brown sugar, mustard, and ketchup to create the sauce. Stir well and taste; adjust sweetness or tanginess as desired by modifying the sugar or mustard amounts.
- Keep the pot on the sauté setting, letting the mixture bubble for 3-5 minutes while stirring constantly to prevent burning and deepen the flavors.
- Serve the mixture on buns.
Notes
Feel free to adjust the sweetness and tanginess by varying the amounts of brown sugar and mustard according to your taste.
For a spicier version, consider adding hot sauce or chopped jalapeños.
This dish can easily be doubled to serve a larger crowd.
