- Add your diced onion and continue cooking the vegetables for about 4 more minutes stirring consistently.
- Turn the insta-pot off.

- Put the lid on the insta-pot an make sure the steam release is set to "sealing"
- Cook on MANUAL, HIGH HEAT for 13 minutes**NOTE** - cooking time is actually longer than 13 minutes because the insta-pot needs to heat up and come to pressure. Once it has reached the pressure cook cycle, it will start counting down.
- Once the insta-pot counts down to zero let it naturally release it's pressure for 6 minutes. Once it counts back up to 6 minutes, manually release the pressure valve and let it completely depressurize.
- Open up the Insta-pot, get the buns and condiments, and serve! It's really that faset and easy!
