Instructions

  • Brown your ground beef or sausage-beef mix in the pressure cooker on medium heat. Stir it up and season with salt and pepper until meat is fully cooked and browned.

  • Stir in tomato sauce and paste, Italian seasoning, parsley, garlic powder, red pepper flakes, and Worcestershire. Mix well.
  • Pour in water and stir. Seal the pressure cooker lid ensuring the float valve is set.
