Instructions
Press Saute on Instant Pot and add the olive oil, ground meat, onion and salt to the pot. Using a wooden spoon, break up the meat and occasionally stir until meat is cooked through and onions are tender and translucent, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the garlic, chili powder and cumin and cook for 1 minute. Press Cancel to stop cooking.
Pour in the water and salsa and mix well.
Sprinkle the bulgur over the meat, followed by the bell pepper and black beans - being careful not to stir.
Add the lid and make sure the steam release valve is set to Sealing. Press Manual/Pressure Cook and cook on HIGH pressure for 1 minute.
After cooking is complete, allow pressure to release naturally for 10 minutes, then move the steam release valve to Venting and release remaining pressure.
Remove the lid and stir the pot well, thoroughly combining all ingredients. Taste and adjust seasonings as desired.
Divide mixture evenly between bowls (about 1 generous cup each), or transfer casserole to a serving platter. Enjoy with any additional toppings as desired.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
