Instant Pot Picadillo

Instant Pot Recipes

Ground beef, peppers, garlic and onion come together in this easy, kid favorite, that we adapted for the Instant Pot!

It’s pretty amazing when I make something for dinner and every single person in the house gobbles it up. 

Last night I made this Instant Pot Picadillo from Skinny Taste and it was SO amazing. If you have an Instant Pot, that’s great – but if you don’t, you can easily make it on the stovetop too. 

We made a few changes to the recipe, added a few extra spices and doubled the onion because we absolutely LOVE onion. Instead of using bell peppers I cut up a pound of mini peppers that we had in the fridge that were yellow, red and orange.

Colors make my kids go wild at the dinner table … the more colorful the dinner the more they are apt to eat it.

The original recipe called for 2 Tbsp of Cilantro ~ we doubled that because I could literally bathe in cilantro I love it that much.  In addition to cumin, we added garam marsala, and paprika along with a little homemade chili powder. Yum!

By dicing our olives very very fine, nobody noticed they were even hiding in there ~ the truth is, I think the kids were distracted by the colors of the peppers & never noticed anything else.

Feel free to use ground turkey in lieu of ground beef, and serve it with a side of rice and avocados and it’s an incredibly filling meal.
