Instant Pot Ground Beef Recipes

I’ve pulled together some of my favorite Instant Pot Ground Beef Recipes, perfect for whipping up a quick, hearty family dinner. From comforting beef chili to classic cottage pie and meatloaf, these dishes are guaranteed to hit the spot without taking up much time.

Let’s be honest—when it comes to easy, budget-friendly meals, ground beef (or beef mince, if you’re in the UK or Australia) is usually the first thing that comes to mind. It’s affordable, packed with nutrients, and incredibly versatile for all kinds of recipes.

Having frozen ground beef in the freezer is like a secret weapon. With just a handful of pantry staples and an Instant Pot, you can pull off anything from a rich Bolognese sauce to a traditional meatloaf in no time.
