One of the best ways to save yourself time when you have a family is by cooking ahead – whether that be chicken, or ground beef, or keeping a frozen soup rotation.
Taco Meat is one of the easiest things to cook up in your Instant Pot – and I always try to keep a few pounds browned and stored in freezer bags to make weeknight dinners absolutely a breeze.
Of course, the Instant Pot helps in that area too – but having the meat already browned and ready to throw in soup is a HUGE time saver… and that’s where the Instant Pot can help.
This Taco Meat is so full of flavor – you can use it in tacos, or casseroles, even soups – it’s great to add to a salad, or eat on top of chips with lettuce and tomatoes as a garnish, add a little sour cream and guac and you have an instant dinner. It is SO good, you might just want to eat it out of the bowl, too!
