Amish Harvest Casserole
Today’s recipe is a good old fashioned dinner. It’s been adapted from Amish Harvest Casserole on Life with Janet. My son and his friends took this down in about 2 seconds flat. No leftovers at our house! With beef, potatoes, carrots and green beans all in one pot it makes for an easy one pot meal and easy clean up, which you know I’m a fan of! If you’re a meat and potatoes fan you’ll love this Instant Pot or slow cooker dinner.

Notes/Tips
- Serve with a dinner roll and a green salad.
- Make a cheesy version: add in a cup of shredded cheddar after the pressure cooking time is up.
- This can be gluten free if you use gluten free cream of mushroom soup. I’ve seen that Campbells now makes a gluten free cream of mushroom soup.
- I used my 6 quart Instant Pot*. You can also make this in a 3, 4 or 8 quart pot.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container* in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
- Other recipes you can make with fresh green beans are Instant Pot Cajun Sausage, Potatoes and Green Beans and Instant Pot Greek Green Beans.
