Family Feud Casserole
Today’s recipe is good enough to cause a family fight over the leftovers. With bacon, onions, potatoes, green beans, ground beef and cheese it’s got tons of flavor. You’ll love that you can make dinner all in one pot and with just a 4 minute pressure cooking time.
Ingredients/Substitution Ideas

- Onion–yellow or white
- Ground beef–I used very lean (93/7). Or ground turkey
- Kosher salt
- Black pepper

- Smoked paprika
- Beef broth–or water and Better than Bouillon beef base

Steps
Turn Instant Pot to saute setting. When display says HOT add in the bacon and fry it up until crispy. Use a slotted spoon to move the bacon to a paper towel lined plate.

Add the onion into the pot with the bacon grease and fry it up for a couple minutes.

Then add in the ground beef and cook through. Stir in ¾ tsp of the kosher salt, black pepper, garlic powder, chili powder and paprika.

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

Add in the potatoes and green beans.

Cover the pot and secure the lid. Make sure nothing is sticking. Set the manual/pressure cook button to 4 minutes. When time is up let pot sit for 5-10 minutes and then move valve to venting. Remove the lid.

Gently stir in the cheese. Serve topped with the bacon. Enjoy!
