This Instant Pot sloppy joes recipe is sweet and spicy as well as quick and easy to prepare. Perfect for weeknight meals, the recipe includes a tasty and sugar-free homemade BBQ sauce.
Coat the bottom of a 6-quart Instant pot with butter. Add the ground beef, onion, and garlic and press Sauté. Cook while crumbling the meat for 5 minutes or until beef is almost cooked through. Press Cancel to stop the Sauté. Drain the excess grease. Stir in all remaining ingredients. Seal the lid, press Pressure Cook or Manual, and set the timer for 5 minutes. Once finished, let the pressure release naturally. Remove the lid and stir well before serving.
