Instructions
STOVE TOP DIRECTIONS
Add browned ground beef, cooked diced bacon, diced onion, diced bell pepper, water, oatmeal, BBQ sauce and brown sugar to a large heavy bottom cooking pot.
Stir and bring to a simmer, uncovered, on high heat, then reduce heat to low and simmer for an additional 15 - 20 minutes, stirring regularly, until mixture has reduced to your desired consistency.
Stir in salt and pepper to taste and serve on a bun with cheese and onion rings.
SLOW COOKER DIRECTIONS
Add browned ground beef, cooked diced bacon, diced onion, diced bell pepper, water, oatmeal, BBQ sauce and brown sugar to a large heavy bottom cooking pot.
Cover and cook on low for 4 - 6 hours or high for 2 - 4 hours, until mixture is heated through.
Stir in salt and pepper to taste and serve on a bun with cheese and onion rings.
INSTANT POT DIRECTIONS
Add browned ground beef, cooked diced bacon, diced onion, diced bell pepper, water, oatmeal, BBQ sauce and brown sugar to the instant pot. Stir in 1 cup of water (when using instant pot directions only).
Cover and set to sealing. Cook on manual/high pressure for 5 minutes, then allow a 10 minute natural pressure release before carefully quick releasing any remaining pressure.
If desired, turn on sauté mode and allow the mixture to cook down to your preferred consistency (stir frequently). Finish with salt and pepper to taste. Serve on a bun with cheese and onion rings.
Notes
*we used regular oatmeal, but quick cooking will also work!Calories are automatically generated. For best results calculate based on your exact ingredients.Instant pot tips:
Cook time - Most electric pressure cookers take about 10 - 15 minutes to come to pressure. The inputted cook time will begin after the pot is pressurized.
Natural pressure release - Hit cancel and walk away from the pot. It will slowly naturally depressurize. Depending on the contents this can take anywhere between 10 - 20 minutes for a full natural release.
Quick release - Turn the dial at the top of your pot to allow the pressure to release quickly. Always use a long handled utensil for this to avoid steam burns. Do not quick release under cabinets or you may cause steam/water damage. If there is sputtering, quickly turn dial back to 'sealing' and allow it to naturally depressurize a few minutes before trying again.
