    Cool recipe! Have one question… you state that you can even use homemade taco seasoning, sooo, how much water do you use for that? When I make it in a skillet, I just my diy taco seasoning to the meat as it cooks… no water needed.

      Hi Jose-
      I would use a homemade seasoning recipe that requires water. Otherwise the flavor will become diluted because you will need a minimum of 1 cup of liquid to reach pressure. Hope that helps!

    I am wondering what, if anything, you would do differently to brown plain hamburger.using the Foodi?
