  • 1 tbs minced garlic
  • 1 teaspoon basil
  • 2 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1 tbs seasoning salt
  • 3 cups beef broth
  • 2 15- ounce cans tomato sauce

  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Instructions

  • Press saute on the instant pot and allow to heat about 3 minutes.
  • Add ground beef and onion and using a chopper crumble meat as it cooks.
  • Cook until no pink is left. If you have a large amount of fat, go ahead and drain the beef. I usually use lean ground beef so I find that it isn't necessary.
  • Add garlic, basil, Italian seasoning, and seasoning salt and saute for 5 more minutes.
  • Pour in broth, tomato sauce, and diced tomatoes.
  • Add dry macaroni and stir well.
  • Place on the lid and turn to lock, cook manual high pressure for 4 minutes

  • Remove lid, stir in cheese. and serve.
