I used to love eating picadillo as a kid, so this is my equivalent of comfort food. That said, this recipe is so delicious and healthy that I make it on a weekly basis. With lean bison, hearty veggies, and less than 5 minute prep time, this instant pot recipe is a mouth-watering combination of flavors that is ready in no-time! This is another recipe from, skinnytaste, one of my favorite bloggers. I have yet to make this dish for someone without them asking for seconds!
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground bison (you can substitute with 93% lean ground beef or turkey)
- 1/2 large onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tomato, diced
- 1/2 red bell pepper, finely chopped
- 4 oz tomato sauce
- 2 tbsp green or kalamata olives (include the brine)
- 2 tbsp cilantro
- 1 tsp ground cumin

Instructions
Step 1
Using the Instant Pot, press the saute button. Add the meat, season with salt and pepper and break the meat into small pieces until it is no longer pink.
Step 2
Add the onion, bell pepper, garlic, tomato, cilantro, and stir 1 minute. Add the olives along with the brine from the juice, cumin, and a bay leaf. Lastly add the tomato sauce with 3 tablespoons of water and mix well. Cover the instant pot and cook on the high pressure setting for 15 minutes. You can then do either a natural or quick release. Feel free to serve with a side of rice and enjoy!
Full disclosure, I write these blogs in my spare time. I do not have an editor and am the only one who reviews the content. As a result, it is likely I’ll have the occasional typo or grammar mistake. If you find anything, feel free to let me know.
Lastly, I’ll admit food photography is not my forte. If you make the recipe and have a better picture, please share and I will happily post it and give you photo cred!
