You Will Love This Instant Pot Bacon Cheeseburger Sloppy Joe!

Having an instant pot at home makes it possible to cook everything within minutes and having delicious results in no time.

To prepare this instant pot bacon, all you need is the bacon and your favorite oil; I prefer olive oil or canola oil. First, you’ll want to use the sauté function to get the grease going and the pan-frying started.

For smaller cuts of bacon, this process will take about 3 minutes, but for thicker pieces, plan to sauté for at least 8 to 10 minutes.

If you don’t have any fresh bacon, you could always prepare frozen cuts. Just make sure to separate all the bits and pieces and plan to cook them for longer while they thaw.

Once your bacon is ready, you are ready to prepare anything else you like. If the bacon cheeseburger sloppy Joe sounds good, then prepare your ground beef, onions, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, yellow mustard, cornstarch, cheddar cheese, and of course, your hamburger buns.

You can make these delicious sloppy Joes in your instant pot, and it should only take you about 15 minutes! The best part of making your instant pot bacon right then and there is that you use the grease and brown bits to add more flavor to the rest of your ingredients.

Be sure to serve this with warm hamburger buns and maybe some fries! You could make this instant pot bacon anytime and save it for later use, like in salads, sauces, hot dogs, and more!
