Well now you know! If you are just starting off with your Instant Pot, this is one of the easiest things you can make in your pot! Then just freeze whatever meat you don't use, and you are set!
The only thing is, I cooked meat that was frozen. That way it was able to stay on the trivet without falling through the cracks and no, I haven't cooked it with thawed meat yet!

HOW TO COOKE GROUND BEEF IN THE INSTANT POT:
Ingredients:
1 - 3 pounds of ground beef
1 cup of water
Place your trivet in the Instant Pot. Pour in one cup of water. Place your frozen beef on top of the trivet. Put the lid on and turn the knob to sealing.
Push the Manual Button, or pressure cook button and set the time for 25 minutes.
Once the timer is done, let it release on it's own for 10-15 minutes. Turn the knob to let any more steam out.
Take your meat out of the Instant Pot and place in a bowl. Cut or chop the meat up.
You can freeze the meat in freezer bags for up to 3 months in your freezer.
This is the Taco Soup I made: www.sixsisters...
- I just threw everything in the Instant pot and cooked it for 5 minutes on manual. I used my already browned beef and just cooked my onions with the rest of the soup instead of browning it.

Yes I couldn't find any recipes that Had fresh ground beef for the instant pot so I took a shot at it myself. We have a family of 7 and so we eat a lot of ground beef in a lot of different recipes so I bought a 10 pound roll Of ground beef cut it in half and cut that half into thirds I stood them up in the instant pot on top of the rack and added about a cup of water I cook them for 50 minutes 10 Minutes per pound and when it came out I just took it out and put it in a bowl and broke it up with a chopper once it cools I'll probly break it up more by hand we put it in the freezer and you can add it to spaghetti sauce or Raman noodles or put some on top of pizza it doesn't go very far in our family of 7 but when I used to do it from me and my husband it lasted quite a while in the Freezer.
Thank you thank you thank you...I had a roll in the fridge and I did just what you said and it came out perfect!.. thank you so much, this just made things so much easier for me.
TIP: Any time you put product into a zip lock bag, flip the zip. That means flip the zipper or slide portion over, like a cuff and instantly its way easier to fill because the bad holds itself open!!!

This is my new favorite kitchen tool! Day 1 I was going to pressure cook a meat czcams.com/users/postUgkxG-7WiT7ocumjytOpHDFt632PL0pxXRAg and potato stew, decided I wouldn't eat it that night so I went with a slow cook so I could go to bed and put it away in the morning. I love that versatility! The sauté feature works great and adds tons of extra flavor to dishes, and I can easily sizzle meats in the bottom then deglaze for some restaurant worthy flavors.Big bonus - you can cook a whole frozen chicken in about 2 hours. Amazing! I've seen a couple videos, haven't tried it yet, but I will soon!
I just used this to brown hamburger for Friday night nachos for my family! I put the meat in my kitchenaid mixer and chopped it up, then added the seasoning and mixed that with the mixer. It was so easy! Whatever is left will go in the freezer, but I never know who my 16 year old grandson will bring along.
This lady is my top five favorite to watch on CZcams make meals. I have four kids this makes life easy. Thanks!
Wish I found this before spending time sautéing my ground beef in my instant pot lol
Yes when sautéed my ground beef and tried to make chili I got the burned message. Definitely gonna try this now.
What's the problem sauteing it?
I just watched your video and tried your suggestion of cooking FROZEN ground beef in my Instant Pot Max. It works like a charm! I grind my own ground beef and I was surprised that the meat crumbled super easy after processing and I didn’t have to use the tool to break up the beef. Thank you for this video! Awesome information!😊
I've cooked frozen and unfrozen ground beef in the 3 qt. pot and it is inbelievable. Delicious. Not too dry and no grease. I cooked a 1 lb. frozen tube of ground beef from Walgreens in my 3 qt. pot. I gave it at least 40 mins. to cook. That worked well. Another time I just cooked it for 20 mins. and then mixed it in an inner pot with other ingredients for another 20 mins. and that was a tasty treat. (It takes longer to cook in the 3 qt. because it uses less pressure, but I can cook enough for 3 or more meals.)
Love this. Especially when it's pasta night. I can let the beef (& sausage) cook and then add to my sauce. It's a time saver, because I don't have to attend the meat. I can get other things done and basically assemble my sauce. Thank you so much.
Ooooooh yes that sounds amazing! You are so welcome!
For easy dividing, have a large sized measuring cup and open your ziplock bag in the cup and open the sides over the cups edges and it makes putting foods and stuff in the bag easier and with less mess.
recipe starts at 1:45
Thanks, I don't understand why many cooking videos like to drag on so much lol!
Who because 🥵
Thank You!!!
Thank you
I'm in total 100% agreement! Honestly its the reason I have unsubscribed from soooo many channels! I'm not going to "hunt" for their videos
This is a lifesaving hack! So much easier than doing it in the skillet. I like having cooked ground beef like this to add to quinoa, or whatever. I freeze portions to add to dishes later.
I dig it! The way I used to brown ground beef was to cook it in water, rather than oil. That way, the fat rendered into the water, which I just threw out. This way is pretty cool. Thanks!
Sounds delicious and being a carnivor eater I love ground beef. Try putting your cooked ground beef back in pot, add cooked bacon and onions, add a block of cream cheese. And sauté together. I usually don’t drain my hamburger grease as it mixes in well with the cream cheese.
How do you eat it? In noodles or shells?
This is a game changer. This is great for my teenage daughter that is learning how to cook but can't seem to get a grip on cleaning up the kitchen afterwards. TY, TY, TY.
Glad it was helpful!
I have used this to do both frozen and thawed and it worked GREAT! I did 25 minutes frozen and 20 to 25 minutes thawed just depends on how much meat I am doing. I also love that I can do it in such large batches it makes meal prep so much easier!
@@wilmasebastian2225 I honestly have never done just one pound before so I don't know. I am sorry. I would assume that you could do it for less time since its less meat but I would be careful you don't want the center to not cook all the way throughout. However if it doesn't cook all the way through which I have had happen to me before when doing larger batches ive just finished the cooking process in a skillet or something its very easy and most of the time all the fat has already drained away from cooking in the IP so then all I have to do is finish with whatever im doing with the hamburger meat. Hope this was helpful and please let me know how it goes I hardly ever do small amounts so I am curious as to how it will work out.
@@charlenecrawford6962 did you just sautés the thawed out meet? I want to know if I can leave thawed bulk sausage in the wrapper & put in instant pot. I don’t care if it browned, just cooked. Trying to save time!
@@Harley57 I've never cooked with sausage before but I would guess its the same as it is with hamburger meat. Normally I will just cook it the same way she does in the video and then portion it out via what I need it for. Say a pound or so for spaghetti or tacos and then what ever is left I will put in to a freezer safe bag and freeze until needed. Once I need it I will pull it from my freezer the night before and let it thaw in my fridge then yes I will heat it up either by warming it up in a frying pan or in a microwave safe bowl for a few minutes at a time stirring it until its warmed completely through. I hope this answers your question and helps you in some way.
Do you salt it before cooking?
@@marthasanchez4711 it depends on what I am using the meat for but no I usually don't salt it or use any seasons I just cook it plain and season it with whatever im cooking it in later.
I’ve cooked my thawed ground beef in the instant pot on the sauté option. Start with olive oil, sauté onions n whatever else you want, put in the ground beef, add your seasonings then then just cook. I usually remove it after then cook other items in there afterwards if it’s not for the same meal.
Nice! Yes, I've cooked it with the sauté option too and it works great! I just wanted to see if I could throw it all in and walk away! ha ha! Thanks for stopping by. Hope you have a great Monday!
And how do you drain the grease?
A good dish to make with ground beef is beef Rice-A-Roni and it is simple and I make it often for myself. You can make Chicken Rice-A-Roni also or you can make it with Turkey. You just follow the instructions on the Rice-A-Roni box and you can cook it in about 30 minutes.
Another use for ground beef is stews, soup, and beef and rice dishes, but you probably know about them.
Best ever, I’m always forgetting to thaw the meat out! This is amazing!
As always thank you for all you do for us!
🤗💕🤩❤️🙂
Hope you enjoy!
I use a stainless steal basket on top of the trivet. This works great too. Great job!
Steamer basket very smart, I used tin foil!
Dang that's a long time for ground beef. I did 2lbs of ground turkey in 12min and it was amazing!
On what settings
@@everythingthatrhymeswithsa3116 This is for sure overkill
I thought so to. That's exactly why I'm reading the reviews. I can cook it on the stove from frozen in 25 minutes
I have a pound leftover from a hamburger roll, it was still frozen so I microwave thawed for just under 5 minutes. Most of it broke up putting in the instant pot and breaking up with a spatula. I had been sauteing some onions while meat was defrosting in microwave. I sauteed for a couple minutes then put it on pressure cook for 10 minutes, I am doing the natural release for just a bit more cooking time. I added all the ingredients you would do with a roast.
Meat was cooked, potatoes and carrots too. I didn't think of throwing in a can of peas and corn till after it was done. It still tasted great. :)
I'm going to have to remember this recipe, super quick and easy. Tastes great.
I agree about the "Chop n Stir" I LOVE that thing
Me too I love mine.. I use it for tuna and hard boil eggs...Amazing!
I love mine, too. My sister-in-law just told me last night that she uses hers to shred chicken sometimes, too. I didn't realize you could shred chicken with one of these gadgets. I've always just used mine for ground meats. I'm definitely going to try that next time I need to shred a chicken breast.
@@bv6086 ...I never thought of using it for tuna or hard bouled eggs, too. I'll have to try that sometime. Thanks!
FYI dollar tree now sells them
I love it! I also use my kitchen aide mixes to get the ground beef smaller or shred chicken. If you have going to make tacos right away, put the seasoning the mixer with a little water and you are ready to go!
Thanks for sharing such a great tip!!!! Tried it for the first time last night before making chilli. This will be our go to way for cooking ground beef. Love how much healthier it is!!!
Thank you for this video. I just got done cooking 5 pounds of frozen ground beef for my lasagna. This worked perfectly!😊
This is amazing! I can't wait to try it. And I agree the chop and stir is a must have! I use it for everything! Makes egg salad so easy to make! Thanks for making great videos!
Ok. Late to the party. Just tried this with fresh 81/19 hamburger meat fresh. 20 minutes high, self release. Dumbed into my kitchenaid to break 5 lbs cooked burger. Fantastic! From 10lbs fresh made up 7 - 1lb ish freezer bags. Awesome. ❤️
Hope you enjoy
I've always cooked ground beef in my Instant Pot from day one!
Flyer777, I need your advice - how many minutes do I cook 500 grams of beef? I'm worried if I overcook I'll get the "burn" message. .
This makes meal prep so quick and easy! Great idea. Thank you!
OMG, I'm so glad I came across this video. Trying it tonight!
My new favorite way to cook ground beef. I’m eating keto/carnivore and I finish with seasoning, cream cheese, maybe some carrots and onions or sometimes I just add a coleslaw veggie pack of shredded cabbage and carrots.
This was so helpful- thank you! This method is so much more healthy!
This is awesome that you can cook ground beef frozen! However, how long could I cook say 2 1/2 pounds of ground beef that is thawed like that? Love your videos! You are very descriptive and that helps me as I am visually impaired!
Ty for ideas I'm trucker and I use everyday
Great video! If you wanted to cook thawed ground beef, how long would it take? Thanks in advance....keep up the good work!
I have to say that I thought it was... well, I'll just say it... STUPID to cook ground beef in the instant pot... But that was before I found out how easy the saute is to use and how easily the stainless steel insert cleans up! After making some chili, I discovered that the ground beef comes out DIFFERNTLY than when skillet cooked - it was SOOOO TENDER!!!! I'm not a big meat fan, so this is a HUGE game changer for me! MEANING - that I will now use THIS method to cook from frozen and divide for meal prep!! THANK YOU SO MUCH for sharing and making a believer out of me!! ;-D
Finally able to watch this insta pot video from Monday! Wow I’m in love with your chop and stir kitchen gadget! 😍 This will be good for maybe a beef taco salad! Tfs 😘
Love this will definitely be doing ground beef in the instant pot from now on as well as cooking it before freezing!
My ground beef was frozen in a ball and was rock solid when I put it in the Instant Pot. I pressure cooked for 25 minutes, plus did a 15 min natural release. When I sliced the beef open it was still red and raw inside. I suspect flat frozen ground beef is best for cooking this way. By the way, I love your channel!
Thank you Natalie!!
I cook it in the Instant pot all the time yesterday I made a sirloin tip from frozen it was delicious Ontario Canada
Great tip!! Looking forward to trying this next time I'm meal prepping!
Thankyou Kristen, tried it wow! What a blessing to be able to do that with ground beef☺
You are so welcome! Glad it worked!
Great video. I’m not a cook but I think I can do this. Thank you.
great video good to know I will have to try with turkey
I tried it from frozen and it came out great!!! thank you SSS
Lifesaver, I was doing it all wrong. Thank you for your help.
I tried it frozen with taco seasoning but didn't put it on the trivet. It was greasy and the flavor was watered down. I like your way much better.
I went out and redid all my pantry to live with instabpot I love the chopster and all the great ideas want a cook book and Amazon didn't have most recent one
Gonna get a chop n stir. Instant Pot is mad simple yo. 🤔😎
Great tip! I use ground beef all the time for chili and spaghetti so this would be real useful.
How would the settings change if you wanted to cook different amounts? I have several 1 pound packages of ground beef in the freezer. Would just doing 1 pound make the times different?
Also, can you cook it to different levels of doneness? A lot of times, I only want to half-cook it and let it finish cooking once I add all the other ingredients. I don't know if it matters much for ground beef though.
Thanks again.
I'd prefer the grease because fat isn't unhealthy (unless you're eating it with a bunch of sugar) plus it makes it much more moist and flavorful.
Flavorful is quite subjective. Regardless of if it isn't healthy or not, it's definitely not that tasty in high doses.
Totally agree. Too many people are addicted to carbs and sugar. Leave the fat in, your body will thank you.
It's ok to decrease the fat some in foods in order to be able to increase the carbs some. (I'm talking about healthy whole food carbs here)
Your the best! Anytime I need help on my insta pot I come here to learn!! Thank you so much ❤️ love you gals
You are so welcome!
Waiting for my pressure cooker to arrive and the first thing I'm making is this!
Yes! Yes! Yes!!
Its hard to over cook meat in the pressure cooker because it cooks with pressure and steam so it makes sure everything is hydrated and never dries out.. I remember when i first discovered pressure cookers and its really like magic, things just always turn out great
Super glad I found this channel. I’m a single guy who has zero idea how to cook.. To be honest I don’t even have a kitchen in my garage apartment, so I think it this is as easy as people say, I should maybe get one tomorrow... Atill up in the air of if I’ll actually get one or not.. by the way I subbed to you’re probably gonna have some stupid questions from me cause I’m clueless on how to cook.. like, seriously... CLUELESS!
It would be great if you could help me along from time to time..
Will this work the same with fresh ground beef? Or does it have to be frozen? And as I’ve asked before, how do you know how long to cook each item? Is there a cheat sheet for times to cook different foods?
I am going to try this. I avoid using ground beef because it's a hassle to crumble it and then drain it. But this will be so much easier.
So awesome! I can’t wait to try it! Thanks for sharing!
You are welcome! Thanks for stopping by!
This worked amazing - thank you!
This is the first thing I'm trying, browning ground beef. Then I'll make Johnny Marzetti with beef & noodles all in same pot after draining
in 2023 this came in handy, Thank you!
I'm addicted to instapot with u
New sub! Thanks for the info. I use the crockpot to make large amounts but I’ve never tried to use the IP. So thanks!
Wow, very helpful! I would never have guessed it. Thanks for sharing!
Thank You, God Bless 🕊️🙂
Works like a charm! It’s so convenient - thank you very much ! (Though this applies to all your recipes :)
ahh thank you! i'm fourteen and wasn't really taught any cooking skills so i want to teach myself :)
Way to go! You got this! Proud of you! Learning to cook is such a handy skill that you will use for the rest of your life, so you might as well start young!
Too cool! Bet you could break it up with a stand mixer pretty quickly. I use mine for shredding chicken and roast pork and beef. For thawed you could put it in a steamer basket or small stainless steel colander. Or a disposable foil round cake pan with holes punched in the bottom.
2nd sister? After this hamburger I think you’re the best sister. 😂
I just added the chop and stir to my cart.
For fresh ground beef I just use the saute just like if it's on a pot on the stove
What do you do with the grease afterwards? Do you still drain it?
@@SophieMia806 yes I place a colander in a bowl and pour the grease into that. The colander will separate the grease from the meat, then I pour the meat back into the instapot to finish it off by browning it a touch more and adding my seasoning for whatever I am cooking(taco seasoning, vegetables or whatever) hope that helps 🙂
If you were doing ground turkey do you cook it for less time?? I LOVE your videos!!
I just did a one pound chub of thamed ground turkey,, I cut it long ways in half like a hot dog bun, 20 minutes , perfect good luck
I'm totally going to try this! Who knew?!
Oh my gosh, 3 pounds from frozen? I get Butcher Box, so that's really nice to know! I don't even have to thaw 1st!
Trying this today. Thank you
Go for it!
I need an instant pot!!! I didn’t think I would use one!!!
Wow. This is amazingly useful. 😊🙏
Glad it was helpful!
Thx wonderful video. I have the chop and stir. Your right it's a must have :)
You are so welcome! Thanks for stopping by!
I just got an instant pot this weekend and I’m loving these video. Thanks!
This is brilliant !!!
I cooked 3 # ground beef for chili! So much handier and yes it smelled great while cooking!😁
1. What if I don't have the metal thing you put on the bottom?
2. Did you put the pot in slow cook mode or in high temperature?
3. I would put in on the pan afterwards and add onions, tomato sauce, garlic etc
4. Amazing video! You saved my life literally. There is no time to cook traditionally
a trivet should've come with your Instant Pot. I have 2 (Lux & Duo +) and both came with one. It may not look like the one in the video, but you should have a trivet of some kind. Contact the company if you did not get one.
Instructions start around 1:44
Thanks
WOW...I never knew the grease could be separated from cooking meat! Super great discovery-THANK you..I've never used frozen but will do! Is it possible to do the same with ground or would it fall through? Now back to your CHILI video....:) Thanks for the link here while watching that one! Thumbs Up # 2...a Definite #1 in my book!! ha ha :)
It would be 25 mins for 1 lb of frozen beef? Ty!
This is amazing
Good morning Silly question I am having family over. And I am using my 8- quart instant pot and I making Tacos. Please about how much can I use in my instant to cook ground meat. Love your videos. Thank you. First time using pot. 🤗😘🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹👩🍳
What about seasoning? I am really excited to try this, but I usually add some seasoning when I brown my ground beef, it should still be ok to do that ...Right?
Oh you bet! I was just using it to make lasagna, so I didn't really want taco seasoning in it. But yes! Go ahead and add some seasoning!
@@SixSistersStuff Silly question, but if we wanted to make taco meat as you suggest, would we just throw the taco seasoning in the water? Or on the meat? Or what? (Sorry I'm a guy and have only cooked 2 meals with the instant pot before). Also how time amount do you suggest for 3lbs of refrigerated beef? Thanks.
This method works great with any type of ground meat, BTW. (:
The instant pot is so fast and easy. Haven't ruined a dish yet. lol
That's great!
Now that was amazing and useful information. Glad I Subbed you for sure now. I had an idea for taco/ bean burritos from the InstaPot. Just combine the bean and hamburger recipes, prep the sides and Bam .. Taco Tuesdays.
Super helpful video! How do you re-cook your frozen ground beef?
I love that pink spoon💕, does anyone know where she got it?
Awesome videos 🎉
I have a question with using cooked ground beef for beef macaroni in instant pot. Do you have a recipe or long would I put the instant on for this? I love your videos!
I sautee my ground beef n bacon in my instapot.
What do you do with the grease from the ground beef? Do you still drain it?
Awesome idea/video!!!!!
I'm not a big fan of dry ground beef with no fat. I want all the yum left in, so I want to sautee it.
But can you explain for those among us whose kitchen is a college dorm room?
HOW do I use the instapot sautee function to sautee my ground beef?
(Have you done this?)
Could you please put on some recipes for a 3 litre Instant Pot. I have bought one for my grandson who is at university and does his own cooking. Thanks
Do y9u know everything y9u have endorsed, I've bought! No regrets, that meat grinder is the boom
I wonder how well that would work with 90/10 ground turkey. I may have to try it. Great tip!
That's what I was thinking too, I'm sure the answer is out there somewhere!
How do you know it gets to the right temperature to be considered safe to consume?
Hello I love your videos. Thank you so much. My instant pot is new & I’ve only used it once. Where do I find your FB link? Thank you 😊😀
