For an even richer flavor, consider using a combination of ground beef and ground pork. Adjust the amount of chili powder to suit your preferred level of spiciness. If you don't have taco seasoning on hand, you can create your own blend using chili powder, cumin, paprika, oregano, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt. For a creamier texture, stir in a tablespoon of butter or heavy cream at the end of cooking. Feel free to experiment with different types of pasta, such as penne or rotini. Customize with your favorite toppings like shredded cheese, green onions, or a sprinkle of hot sauce.

01 Step
Recipe View Engage the Sauté function on your multi-functional pressure cooker (such as an Instant Pot). Add the ground beef and sauté, breaking it apart with a spoon, until nicely browned (approximately 5 minutes). Transfer the browned beef to a colander to drain off any excess fat.
02 Step
Recipe View Return the beef to the Instant Pot and introduce the diced onion. Sauté for 3 minutes, allowing the onion to soften and become fragrant. Incorporate the taco seasoning, minced garlic, dried parsley, and chili powder; cook and stir for 1 minute, releasing their aromatic oils. Deglaze the pot with a splash of beef broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom. Add the remaining beef broth and diced tomatoes. Stir well to combine. Gently mix in the elbow macaroni, ensuring the noodles are completely submerged in the liquid. Discontinue Sauté mode.
03 Step
Recipe View Secure the lid, ensuring it is properly locked. Select high pressure according to the manufacturer's instructions; set the timer for 3 minutes. Allow 10-15 minutes for the pressure to build inside the pot.
04 Step
Recipe View After the cooking cycle, allow the pressure to release naturally for 5 minutes, following the manufacturer's instructions. Carefully release any remaining pressure using the quick-release method (approximately 5 minutes). Unlock and remove the lid. Serve immediately, garnished with a dollop of sour cream.
