My ingredient list for this dish includes bacon, onions, ground beef, tomato paste, tomato juice, salt, pepper, paprika, Worcestershire sauce, dry parsley, sugar, celery seed, cloves, cinnamon, and garlic powder.

You can use other ingredients, however, such as onion powder, ground turkey or chicken, tomato sauce, chili powder, dry oregano, honey, celery salt, cumin, and minced garlic. For the serving aspect, I always use my favorite kind of spaghetti, but you can use any pasta you enjoy the most.

All you have left to do is add everything to your instant pot, lock the lid, and cook at high pressure for 15 minutes. You can save time by cooking the spaghetti while the instant pot is doing the hard work.

After you release the pressure on the instant pot, serve your tasty sauce over the spaghetti and top with Parmesan cheese.

Freezing and Unfreezing the Spaghetti Sauce

If you need to save this meal for a later time, you can always freeze it. To do so, divide all your ingredients into freezer bags or containers, label, and freeze them. When you are ready to prepare this spaghetti sauce, simply place the frozen ingredients in the pot, and cook as directed above.

Remember that your cooking times may vary depending on the amount and type of meat you use and whether it is frozen or not.
