Add the green bell pepper and continue to stir for another minute.
Add the oregano, paprika, chili powder, crushed red pepper, salt and pepper and mix until the vegetables are coated. Press “Cancel” button to turn off sauté mode.

Allow the pressure to naturally release. Once cooking is complete, this should take approximately 20 minutes.
When the float valve has dropped back down, slowly unlock and remove the lid. Stir in the liquid smoke and brown sugar.
Serve on rolls of your choice. Dress with sliced red onion, sliced tomatoes and/or shredded cheddar cheese, if desired.
