Cooking My Ground Beef in the Instant Pot | Meal Prep | Batch Cooking

I like to batch cook our ground beef in the Instant Pot to make our meal prep go faster for things like tacos, shepherds pie, meat sauce, chilli, and the like.

When my kids were young, I used to make hamburger gravel. I would flash freeze the ground cooked ground beef on a cookie sheet and then break it up and seal it in a gallon freezer bag. We would take out what we needed, reseal the bag and put the rest in back for next time.

Great video, Kim. Thank you. This gave me a couple of good ideas on how I can improve my food prep . . . not just for me, but for my dogs as well!

Thank you so much!! I am cooking a bunch of ground turkey for my dog and couldn't find anyone cooking a bunch of ground meat in the instant pot ❤

So glad to know that I’m not alone in hating the smell of ground beef cooking!

I’m so glad to find this instant pot method! Game changer!

I'm a bachelor and I need help cooking. Thank you for posting this!

Thank you so much for sharing this with us! I always buy the 10lb rolls of Ground chuck 93/7 and I used to cook it in batches. Lol. 😅 I saw your video, and tonight, it all went into the instant pot with fresh onions and garlic to eliminate another step for me later on 😂. This was so very helpful! I appreciate it 🙏! ❤

I personally LOVE the smell of ground beef cooking. One of the best smells!

[susancoulange]

Brilliant. No fuss, no mess cooking ground beef to can. I'm thinking by using a fat separator with the liquid, you could have some beef "broth" left over to can. I'll try and see if that's true. Thanks for this great idea.

[sandijammes]

Brilliant! I didnt know I needed this process, but what a time saver! I can a lot of ground beef, but always brown it/cook it first. Thank you sooo much!
God bless!🙏

This is fantastic, I am definitely going to use this method now! Thank you or all the detailed advice you put into this (e.g. about leaving a gap for the float valve and how to get the plastic off without too much struggle)

That broth makes a great soup base. I always either make a stuffed green pepper soup with it or add some hamburger back in and boil egg noodles in it. Don't throw it out, it's beef broth.

Thanks for your video! Just a tip for you, too; After touching raw meat, please wash your hands before touching other things. I also noticed you put your arm/elbow on the counter right where you cut the meat. 😢

[dianarice]

This is a wonderful idea. Clever way to cook without fuss.

What a great tip! I just took out 8 lbs of ground venison to make jerky, canned about 30 lbs & still have more. This is last years deer & Mr is out hunting now 🦌🦌🦌🦌 This will give it a longer life versus sitting in my freezer uncooked and forgotten! Having it ready for meals will be an incentive for me for sure.

Just to let you know that Shepards Pie is made with lamb, and Cottage Pie is made with beef, well in the UK anyway. Interesting video, thank you for sharing.

holy moly - I did not expect the entire 10lb chub to fit O_O

You are the meal prep Queen ✨

[helenmansuy]

Such a good idea, thanks, Kim. This would have e been so good for me during seeding. Harvest is coming.

I make ground beef/veal/ pork cabbage rolls. I pre cook my onions and parboil my rice to add to the cooked meat before making the cabbage rolls.
