I have been getting several e-mails from readers lately asking: ” What are some easy ground beef recipes that aren’t tacos, meatballs, meatloaf, or sloppy joes? While chicken is super versatile, I don’t see much versatility in ground beef. I decided to try these Instant Pot Ground Beef for a few reasons.

1.  After making sloppy joe’s in my Instant Pot, I stopped making them on the stovetop.
2. I decided that I wanted to explore creating more recipes with ground beef.
3. Did you know that I am obsessed with gyros and Tzatziki sauce?   If you are a frequent reader of this website, then you know I love Gyros.  I have made the following:
