Cozy Farmhouse Beef and Potato Casserole
This was such a good one-pot meal with the meat, potatoes and veggies all cooked together! Greg and I thoroughly enjoyed this dish, and I loved that it was made with easy ingredients that you probably already have on hand. It’s hearty, cheesy and filling without needing much else to go with it. You can make it quickly in the Instant Pot or let it cook for a few hours in the slow cooker. Enjoy!

Notes/Tips
- This was a one pot meal for us but if you want a side dish serve with a dinner roll or cornbread and green beans or fresh fruit.
- Want even more veggies? Try adding in mushrooms and green beans.
- This recipe can be gluten free if you use gluten free Worcestershire sauce.
- I used my 6 quart Instant Pot*. You can also make this in an 8 quart pot. You can cut this recipe in half for a smaller group (that’s what I did).
- Store leftovers in an airtight container* in the refrigerator for 4 days. For the best texture, I’d recommend enjoying this one fresh or refrigerated rather than freezing it.
- Other recipes you can make with celery are Instant Pot Sober Potato Salad and Straight out of Heaven Casserole.
