I love making my own pasta sauce. To me the flavors are much better than any that I’ve bought off the store shelves. I normally make a double batch of it in my crockpot. This time around I decided to use a new friend: my Instant Pot to do the job much quicker. All I had to do was hit the saute button on the Instant Pot, add some EVOO to cover the bottom, then start sauteing the meat and veggies til done. If there is excess grease you just drain it and put the inner pot back in and add the rest of your ingredients. I set it on High pressure for 10 minutes and did a 5 minute NR then QR to let out the remaining steam. The results were not a disappointment :-)

We use alot of spaghetti sauce at our house so it would definitely make sense to make my own. I guess I could attempt to grow our own tomatoes to make the sauce. Thank you for the recipe.
You're most welcome. I bet growing your own tomatoes would make the sauce taste even better.
