A Cowboy’s Supper (Instant Pot Recipe)

This one pot meal might become a favorite at your house! It’s got easy to find ingredients and it comes together quickly. It’s got beef and beans for a cowboy flair. It is hearty and will keep your little cowboys and cowgirls happy and full for hours. Plus you can choose whether to make it earlier in the day in the slow cooker or later in the day with your Instant Pot.

A few notes about the ingredients:

• Ground Beef–I used a lean ground beef and did not have to drain off any grease because it was really lean to begin with. You can also use ground turkey for this recipe.
• Onions–hate dicing onions? Me too! Lately I’ve been buying frozen diced onions. There is about 2-3 cups of diced onions in the bag and I buy them on sale for a dollar each. Try it! They work great for my Instant Pot meals.
• Ranch dressing mix–I’m not talking about ranch dressing. I’m talking about the powdered mix. I like buying a big container of Hidden Valley Ranch Dressing Mix at Costco. I use it for all sorts of recipes. Some ideas are Instant Pot Ranch Mashed Potatoes, Instant Pot Ranch Chicken Taco Rice, Instant Pot Wife’s Delight, Instant Pot Beef and Cheddar Ranch Potatoes. It adds lots of flavor to recipes! If you prefer you can make your own from scratch.
• Rotel—Rotel is the name brand of canned tomatoes with diced green chiles. They come in original, hot or mild. They add lots of flavor to different dishes such as the famous rotel-velveeta dip.
• Chili beans–Chili beans are something you’ll find in the canned good aisle at your grocery store. I use the Bush’s brand. They are pinto beans in a mild chili-spiked sauce. If you can’t find chili beans, look for ranch style beans. Or if you’re really in a pinch you can just use a can of drained and rinsed pinto beans (you may need to add more seasonings if you go this route).
• Corn–I used a couple cups of frozen white sweet corn. I prefer frozen corn over canned corn. It seems to have a sweeter flavor and better plumper texture.
• Cheese–I used sharp cheddar cheese that I grated off the block. You can use another type of cheese if you’d rather. Try monterey jack or pepper jack cheese!
• Instant potatoes–dehydrated potato flakes serve as a way to quickly thicken this dish. If you don’t have these on hand, you can leave them out. The dish will just be a bit runny. You can also use a cornstarch slurry to thicken the dish.
