Pour 2 to 3 tablespoons of oil into the instant pot.

Set the instant pot to 'saute' mode on normal or medium setting.

Once hot, add 1 small diced onion and sauté until translucent.

Add 1/2 pound of ground beef, breaking it down into smaller pieces while cooking until there's no pink left.

Turn off the 'saute' mode on the instant pot.

Add 10 ounces of spaghetti noodles, breaking them in half for easier placement.

Arrange the spaghetti noodles in different directions, laying them as flat as possible to prevent sticking.

Pour in 24 ounces of your favorite pasta sauce, coating as much of the noodles as possible.

Add 1/4 cup of banana ketchup and 3 sliced hotdogs.

Sprinkle in 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese.

Secure the lid of the instant pot and turn the steam release to the 'sealing' position.

Set the instant pot to 'manual' on high pressure for 8 minutes.

After cooking, quick release the pressure by pushing the steam release to the venting position.

Once the float valve unlocks, open the instant pot and mix everything together.
