This Instant Pot Spaghetti recipe is perfect for nights when you forget to plan dinner or just don’t feel like cooking and need something quick. I buy up to 40 lbs of ground beef at a time and cook it all. I freeze 1 lb in each quart freezer bag. The ground beef in this recipe can be cooked from frozen.
