    How to Cook Frozen Ground Beef In the Instantpot Pressure Cooker

    Posted at EST by Leave a Comment 7 May

    .

    Pressure Cooker Frozen Ground Beef (hamburger)

    I really really wanted chili for dinner the other night.  Really wanted chili.  I had forgotten to take a package of beef out of the freezer last night so I was stuck between making something else or cooking it from frozen in a pan (which I hate to do- all that flipping and scraping and it comes out clumpy).

    So I thought- why not try it in the instantpot?  Worst case- the dog gets a really great dinner and we have mac n cheese. It turned out AWESOME.  The meat had nearly all of the fat drained out so it is better for a meal where it’s in a flavorful sauce rather than used on it’s own.  Most of the natural flavor from the fat is gone- used for tacos, a spicy sauce, or chili is perfect though!

    How to Cook Frozen Ground Beef in Pressure Cooker

    I LOVE my InstantPot  – it sautes, slow cooks and pressure cooks.  It’s my new favorite kitchen appliance.

    Pressure Cooker Frozen Ground Beef (hamburger)

    First- place the trivet that comes with the Pressure Cooker (I couldn’t find mine and was in a hurry so I used a metal fryer pan- it had the drainage holes necessary and kept the meat out of the water). Place 1-2 pounds of ground beef on top.

    Add 1 -2 cups of water to the bottom of the crock.  Don’t let the water touch the beef.

    Cook on high pressure for 25 minutes.  The ground beef will cook and the fat will drain into the water.

    Granted, it doesn’t look too pretty when it’s done but it crumbled beautifully. I removed the beef, trivet and water from the Instant Pot and turned it on saute,  broke it up with this awesome ground beef tool.  It was a tad pink in the very center coming out of the instant pot and I wanted to be sure it was 100% cooked!

    Then I added all the chili makings- turned it back on pressure for 18 minutes and viola- dinner!

    Air Fryer Whole Chicken

    I LOVE my air fryer…but I’d never tried making a whole chicken in it and now I’m kicking myself for waiting so long.

    This was the most tender whole chicken with a crispy skin I’ve ever made….ever!

    Guys this pulled chicken in the slow cooker is SO good! With both BBQ Sauce AND Chicken being Buy 2 Get 3 FREE at Harris Teeter 3/11 – 3/17 this is the perfect recipe!

    This is the CrockPot I use. 


    Using a slow cooker liner is really important with this recipe because the sauce thickens and sticks to the sides.

    Whole Chicken Cast Iron Chicken Recipe

    y’all we are LOVING this chicken in my house!  It’s so delicious and it’s easier than you expect. It does have a few steps BUT it’s all done in one pan!

    If your pant is big enough- you can roast it with some root vegetables (potatoes, carrots, radishes..).

    The biggest tip I have for this is: BIG pan, small chicken.

    Easy Oven Cooked Hamburger Sliders

    Easy Oven Cooked Hamburger Sliders

     

    I honestly hate grilling- my husband loves to stand out there with a beer and listen to the sizzle as he gauges if it’s time to flip or not.

    I just don’t have the patience for that. I want fast and easy when I’m cooking for this crowd.

    We made these super easy and delicious oven roasted sliders.  The real work was only really draining the pan to avoid “boiling” the burgers in juice but rather than baking them.

    Easy Oven Cooked Hamburger Sliders

     

    I used a lipped 8×13 baking sheet and 2 1/2 lbs of ground beef.

    First I sprinkled the seasoning mix on the sheet and then put handfuls of ground beef evenly around the tray and pressed them down to one big sheet of beef. (If you want to use onions you could place diced onions on the sheet before adding the beef).

    Then I sprinkled more seasoning on top.

    Then I made lines to cut this into 24 pieces, but not all the way through.  The meat will shrink away from the edges.

    Bake for 10 minutes at 400 and then remove from the oven and drain off the fats and liquids. Return to the hot oven and make another 10 minutes.

    Easy Oven Cooked Hamburger Sliders

    Place the burger sheet on top of buns that have been topped. Add cheese and/or bacon as desired.  Top with the bun tops and brush with melted butter.

    Cover with foil and return to the oven for 5-10 minutes or until the cheese is perfectly melted.

    Remove from the oven and cut each bun out and enjoy!
