A hearty, healthy dinner in 40 minutes -- plus, leftovers are amazing! If you don't have an Instant Pot pressure cooker, recipe may be modified for stove top or slow cooker (see instructions below).

Course: Main Dish, Soup
Cuisine: American, Mediterranean, Southern, Southwestern
Servings: 8 servings
Ingredients
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 lb. lean ground beef (I used 90/10 ground sirloin)
  • 1 cups dried pinto beans (or fresh hulled, but NOT canned in instant pot * if you absolutely want to use canned beans, add them in the last step with kale.
  • 1 cup chopped sweet yellow onion
  • 1/4 cup chopped pepper like poblano or serrano pepper or can sub a milder bell pepper
  • 1 1/2 to 2 cups ssorted chopped root vegetables like carrots, parsnip, beets, etc.
  • 1 medium sweet potato chopped or spiralized about a 5" long sweet potato
  • 8 cups low sodium beef broth
  • 3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 4 cup cored, chopped kale
Instructions
  1. Select the saute function on your instant pot. Let it heat up for about 2 minutes. When hot, add olive oil to coat the pot, and toss in ground beef. Brown for about 5 minutes, okay if a tad pink.
  2. Add onion, peppers and garlic and sautee for another 3-4 minutes.

  3. Add sweet potatoes, root veggies (carrots, parsnips, beets or whatever), 1 cup uncooked, dry beans, beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, black pepper, and thyme. Secure Instant Pot lid.

  4. Select "pressure cook" button and cook at high pressure for 30 minutes. When done, carefully vent steam to release suction on lid.

  5. Open lid and add kale. (Note: if using canned beans, instead of dry beans, add them here) Let cook on “warm” with lid open for a couple minutes, or until kale is wilting.

  6. Serve with grated cheese if desired.
  7. To make in slow cooker, cook ground beef in skillet with onions, pepper and garlic. Add to slow cooker. Follow remaining steps, but set slow cooker for 8 hours, adding kale in the last 10 minutes. To make on stove top, cook ground beef in large stock pot with onions, pepper and garlic. Follow main instructions but substitute two 15-ounce cans of pre-cooked, drained pinto beans. Simmer for 30 to 45 minutes, adding kale in last10 minutes.
