I placed the lid on the Instant Pot, turned the steam release handle to the sealing position and set the Instant Pot Pressure Cook High for 1 minute.

Once the Instant Pot was done cooking, I immediately turned the steam release to the venting position and did a quick release.

I removed the lid from the Instant Pot and stirred all of the ingredients together well, breaking up the ground beef.

I left the mixture to simmer stirring occasionally.

When the Instant Pot turned off I stirred the mixture really well one more time.

My family loved the Big Mac Frito Pie! I bought the more expensive less fatty 93% hamburger so I did not have a grease issue.

Lots of flavor, really liked. Thought it was greasy though. It’s no surprise when hamburger doesn’t get drained. Could meat be cooked first and drained. Then add rest of ingredients
