Mix together the ground beef, salt and black pepper in a bowl.
Form the beef mixture in to 2 burger patties that are the same size.
Wrap each burger patty in a foil packet, sealing completely.
Pour 1 ½ cups of water into the Instant Pot insert and place the trivet inside.
Put burger packets on top of the trivet, close the lid, and turn the valve to the sealing position.
Set the Instant Pot to manual pressure / high pressure for 8 - 10 minutes.
Once cook time has finished, perform a quick pressure release. Open the lid and use tongs or oven mitts to remove the foil packets.
Then open foil packets and carefully remove the burgers, draining any liquid that is inside the packet.
Hamburgers On The Grill Instructions:
Mix together the ground beef, salt and black pepper in a bowl.
Form the beef mixture in to 2 burger patties that are the same size.
Fire up the barbecue or grill and wait until it is medium hot.
Brush the grill with some olive oil.
Cooking time depends on how rare you like your burger. As a rough guide, cook your burger for 2-3 minutes, then flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes and test. Then keep cooking and testing until the hamburgers are as well cooked as you like.

Notes
When opening the burger foil packets do so carefully as liquid will gather in the foil packs.
If you want a grilled flavor or to brown your burgers, then cook them under the grill for a few minutes.
Shape the burgers into similarly sized patties so that they cook at the same rate.
For shaping the burgers, you can either use your hands or grab one of those handy burger presses.
If you don't have foil, you can also use parchment paper.
Feel free to add spices to your taste into your burgers.
You can use regular burger buns if you are not following a gluten-free diet.
Add some cheese and cook the Instant Pot hamburgers under a hot grill for a minute to get a melty cheesier burger.
Storage - keep leftovers in an airtight container inside the fridge for 4 days.
There are 7 Blue Plan SmartPoints in a serving of these without the bun or toppings, and there are 10 Freestyle SmartPoints in a serving of these with the gluten free bun.
