Sure, you could fuss over a pot of chili all afternoon or slow-simmer braised meat for hours. Or you could turn to one of these Instant Pot beef recipes for a dinner on the fly. The popular multicooker, or any pressure cooker, can make quick work out of everything from takeout fake-outs (see: Instant Pot beef and broccoli) to comfort food favorites (including Instant Pot beef stew). We're all for anything that makes it easier for us to dive fork-first into a bowl of pasta and meat sauce. Ready, set, pressure cook!
Instant Pot Lasagna
A pot of water and strainer for the noodles, a skillet for the meat sauce, a casserole for the lasagna itself—classic lasagna recipes make a mess! Have you ever made a lasagna recipe that leaves you with only two pans to clean after cooking? This Instant Pot ground beef recipe makes that dream a reality since it calls for browning the beef on the sauté function before assembling the pasta casserole in a round cake pan you can pop inside the Instant Pot. Start with jarred marinara, and this luscious lasagna takes just 20 minutes to prep.

Pressure Cooker Sweet and Spicy Beef Stew
Slash the cook time of this stew from 11 hours to 12 minutes (yes, really!) by using the Instant Pot beef stew recipe variation instead of going slow cooker-style. Both cooking options will score you the same results: A just-spicy-enough stew chock-full of tender beef chuck and sweet potatoes. Ground beef is in the mix too, to pump up the protein and satisfaction level even more. (If you still need an Instant Pot, check out this Instant Pot Duo Nova 8-Quart Pressure Cooker, $119.99, Target.)

Chipotle-Coffee Pot Roast
Instant Pot roast beef makes quick, juicy work out of two full pounds of beef chuck roast when you pop it in the pressure cooker. Using the sauté function, sear the sides of the coffee- and chili-rubbed roast to caramelize the exterior, then allow it to simmer in a pool of garlic, balsamic vinegar, tomato paste, and beef broth for 15 minutes. You're going to want something starchy to soak up every last drop of that savory sauce; we recommend creamy polenta, mashed potatoes, or chunks of warm baguette.

Instant Pot Cheesy Chili Mac
No need to choose between Instant Pot beef chili or Instant Pot mac and cheese. This delicious mash-up meal allows you to enjoy both in one pot, and with less than 15 minutes of total cook time. Sauté the ground beef, then add all the chili seasonings, tomatoes, beans, and any short pasta shape (such as penne, elbows, or rotini) you have handy. Don't forget to top with a generous handful of shredded cheddar!
