Ingredients
Scale
- 1 Tablespoon avocado oil or bacon fat
- 2 lbs ground beef
- 1 cup grated zucchini, shred and then squeeze out excess water in a paper towel, then pack into a measuring cup)
- 1 cup onion, chopped
- 1 cup carrot, grated
- 10 cloves garlic, minced
- 29 ounces diced fire roasted tomatoes (with or without green chilies)
- 24 ounces strained tomatoes
- 1 Tablespoon dried oregano
- 1 Tablespoon dried basil
- 2 teaspoons unrefined sea salt
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
Instructions
- Add the oil to the Instant Pot and turn to saute mode.
- After a minute when the oil is heated, saute the onion and garlic in the oil for 2 minutes.
- Add in the ground beef and break up the meat as it cooks until mostly cooked through.
- Add in the zucchini and carrot, diced tomatoes, strained tomatoes, dried oregano, dried basil, salt and pepper.
- Scrap the bottom of the pan to make sure nothing is sticking (otherwise you may get the burn notice).
- Stir the sauce and add the lid, lock and set the valve to sealing.
- Select pressure cook / manual on high for 5 minutes.
- Once the cooking has finished, quick release the pressure and once the gage drops open the lid.
- With an immersion hand blender blend the sauce right in the Instant Pot until you achieve the desired thickness. I like to blend out all big chunks but leave in some texture. *(If you don’t have an immersion blender you can transfer the sauce to a standard blender and blend in batches.)
- Serve over pasta or veggies such as spaghetti squash or zucchini noodles. Enjoy!
