Notes
Don’t Overcook The Meat. Don’t completely cook your meat as it will continue cooking under pressure. You don’t want the meat to be overdone. Spread Out The Potatoes. Make sure the potatoes are evenly spread out in your pot. This helps them to cook evenly, so that they are tender, but not mushy. Meat Selection: Choose lean ground beef for a healthier option, but remember, a little bit of fat can add more flavor to the soup.
