Instant Pot Amish Yumasetti–a creamy, beefy noodle casserole with peas and breadcrumbs.
Instant Pot Amish Yumasetti
I’ve never heard of yummasetti before but Kevin from Amish 365 said, “I used to hear a lot about this dish years ago in Amish settlements. I bet many still make it. It’s one of those timeless casseroles. But the popularity of this casserole in Amish kitchens also illustrates how cooking is changing among the Plain people. Processed foods such as canned soups and packaged noodles are becoming increasingly common.”
The name “yumasetti” is so fun! To me it sort of sounds like spaghetti and yummy mixed into one word. There is no spaghetti in this dish, rather it’s egg noodles. But oh well! We will still keep the name yumasetti.
There are just a handful of ingredients in this easy casserole recipe. It’s a family friendly meal. Skyler and all his friends took down the entire pot in just a few minutes. It’s filling and comforting and basically everything you want from a casserole!

Take a bow, Karen. This recipe actually got a like from my husband, who usually has a “meh” attitude about casseroles.
If you’re looking for tips before trying it, here’s what I did: I cooked the peas first because I just wasn’t sure they’d cook in the IP from frozen. That worked well. I don’t have an air fryer lid and didn’t want to use the oven broiler, so I browned the crumbs in a non-stick skillet in 1 tablespoon of butter. You can/should make a fresh batch for leftovers. I didn’t want to serve from the inner pot, so I transferred to a casserole dish before adding the sour cream/peas/toasted crumbs.
This is very similar to the tuna casseroles my Mom used to make, so I’m sure you could substitute tuna for the beef or turkey.
I love that your husband gave you a “like”! That’s great! And good tip about the bread crumbs. Thank you for that.
Making this for the second time for my picky eaters! Thank you, Karen!

You’re welcome Jen! Thanks for the 5 stars!
Could I leave our the sour cream?? My husband doesn’t like it.
Does he like cream cheese? If so I would use 4 oz of cream cheese in the place of sour cream.
You’re putting frozen peas in after it cooks, won’t they taste raw?
The hot noodles seem to warm them up and cook them enough for my taste. You can also cook them separately and then throw them in.
Karen this looks wonderful. I really think the Amish can cook this their way, but we can use our I.P. I have no problem with the name. Could you use chicken or tuna? Thanks!
★★★★★
Yes you sure could!
Do you really think that the Amish have an Instant Pot??? They don’t have electricity to operate the Instant Pot so why would you post a recipe trying to copy thier recipe??? Not cool!!!
I take “normal” recipes and adapt them to the Instant Pot. It’s what I do and what this blog is all about. So I took the recipe called Amish Yumasetti and figured out how to make it in the Instant Pot. That’s all. There’s nothing more to it than that.
Speaking as a Mennonite man, with Amish roots and Amish kin, I don’t think the Amish would give two hoots about Karen adapting a recipe. And, while they may not use instant pots, I can assure you that they use pressure cookers on the stove. Probably not to make yumasetti, but certainly to make other meals.
Thanks Kevin! Where are you from? I’m curious…
I tell you what. You probably have access to my email from my posting. Email me there and I’ll answer in a less public arena? 🙂
Can you use fresh chopped carrots instead of the peas?
Sure that would be great!
I don’t have an air fryer lid either. However, I’ve been known to just put some panko in a pan with a little butter and toast them. Then, when the food is done, sprinkle them on the casserole.
Great idea! Thanks Eevie!
Karen, I have the thick home style noodles that are made in Montana. How long should they cook in the instant pot?
Sounds delicious! How long do you usually boil on the stove? Take the number on the back of the package. Divide by 2 and subtract 1 minute.
I agree, this sounds good but I don’t have an air fryer lid. Suggestions?
Put it in a baking dish and under your oven’s broiler for a few minutes to crisp up the breadcrumbs. Or toast the breadcrumbs and sprinkle them on top. Should be great!
This sounds delicious, but I do not have an air fryer/lid. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Thank. Karen!
Both your suggestions sound perfect!
