Delta Casserole

This easy Instant Pot rice dish is savory and quite easy to put together. It’s versatile in that you can serve it as a side dish or add cooked ground beef or beans to make it a full meal. It’s easy to double to serve a crowd. The savory beef consommé is the secret ingredient to make it flavorful. Enjoy!

Ingredients/Substitution Ideas

• Butter
• Onion–or shallot
• Celery
• Mushrooms
• Beef consomme–I used Campbell’s brand
• Water
• Converted rice–or long grain white rice
• Black pepper
• Kosher salt

Steps

Turn Instant Pot to saute setting. When display says HOT add in the butter and let it melt. Add in the onion, celery and mushrooms and saute for 5 minutes. 

Pour in the consomme and water and scrape bottom of pot so that nothing is sticking. Turn off Instant Pot.

Sprinkle in the rice, pepper and salt.

Cover Instant Pot and secure the lid. Make sure valve is set to sealing. Set the manual/pressure cook button to 5 minutes. When time is up let pot sit for 10 minutes and then move valve to venting. Remove the lid.

Stir. Serve and enjoy! Top with a bit of parmesan cheese, if desired.

Notes/Tips

• Serve with a side salad, some garlic green beans or roasted broccoli.
• What is converted/parboiled rice? Don’t confuse converted rice (or sometimes it is called parboiled rice) with pre-cooked or minute rice. Parboiled rice has been processed in its husk by soaking, steaming, and drying. As a result, all the nutrients from the husk are absorbed into the grain before it’s removed. The starch content alters in the process, making cooked parboiled rice less sticky than regular white rice. The rice kernels aren’t clumpy and glued together instead they are more separated. I found a bag of parboiled rice at Walmart next to the normal long grain white rice. Sometimes I buy it at Winco in the bulk section. I have also found it in the orange box (Ben’s brand) next to other rices.
