  • Go on and add the rest of the ingredients, brown sugar, mustard, ketchup, tomato paste, salt and pepper, Worcestershire sauce and liquid smoke. Slightly stir at the top to mix the ingredients without touching the bottom of the pan.
  • Cover the instant pot and turn the valve to the sealing position. Select manual or pressure cook and cook the ground beef mixture for 8 minutes on high pressure.
  • After the cooking procedure is completed, leave the pot to natural pressure release for 5 minutes then carefully do a quick release to depressurise the pot.
  • Open the lid of the IP and stir the sloppy joes mixture to combine. You shouldn’t have much liquid in the sauce at this point. To thicken the sauce, turn on the sauté function and stir the sloppy joes continuously until it thickens to desired consistency.
