  1. Turn Instant Pot to saute setting. When display says HOT add in the sausage. Break up the sausage and add in the onions and mushrooms. Brown for 5 minutes. Drain off excess grease.
  2. Pour in the broth and scrape bottom of pot so that nothing is sticking. Turn off Instant Pot.
  3. Add in the potatoes. Dump in the Rotel, cream cheese and green pepper.
