Pressure-Cooker Spicy Beef Vegetable Stew image

This zesty ground beef and vegetable soup is flavorful and comes together so quickly. It makes a complete meal when served with warm cornbread, sourdough or French bread, if you can squeak in a few more calories. -Lynnette Davis, Tullahoma, Tennessee
