Notes
- Store: Refrigerate in an airtight container or inner Instant Pot liner with a fitting lid for up to 5 days.
- Freeze: Fully cook, cool completely and freeze in an airtight container for up to 3 months. Thaw on a stovetop covered on low.
- Ground meat: Feel free to use ground turkey, ground chicken or lean ground beef.
- Colour of peppers: Green pepper adds nice more bitter taste which I love but now many don't. You can mix and match any colours and shapes of peppers.
