Description

An easy Instant Pot pasta dinner with ground beef, Rotel tomatoes, cheddar and crispy fried onions.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound lean ground beef (I used 93/7)
  • 3/4 tsp kosher salt
  • 3/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 2 Tbsp dried minced onion (or 1 tsp onion powder)
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 8 ounces uncooked radiatore pasta (or elbow macaroni)
  • 1 (10 oz) can Rotel (I used mild)
  • 1 (10.5 oz) can cream of mushroom soup
  • 1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup French’s Crispy Fried Onions

Instructions

  1. Turn Instant Pot to saute setting. When display says HOT add in the beef and break it up. Stir in the salt, pepper, garlic powder and onion. Brown for about 5 minutes. 
  2. Pour in the broth and scrape bottom of pot so that nothing is sticking. Turn off Instant Pot. 
  3. Evenly sprinkle in the pasta. Then dump in the Rotel and cream of mushroom on top. Don’t stir.
  4. Cover Instant Pot and secure the lid. Make sure valve is set to sealing. Set the manual/pressure cook button to 3 minutes. When time is up let pot sit for 10 minutes and then move valve to venting. Remove the lid.
  5. Stir well. Sprinkle cheese on top and let it melt. Sprinkle the french fried onions on top and serve.
