Description

Fresh broccoli, melty cheese, smoked sausage, a homemade creamy sauce and rice make this casserole the quintessential comfort food. An easy Instant Pot recipe with no browning or sauteing steps. 


Ingredients

Scale
  • 3/4 cup long grain white rice
  • 1 1/4 cups water
  • 10 oz fresh broccoli florets (or a 10 oz bag of frozen broccoli)
  • 12 oz fully cooked smoked sausage, sliced into quarter inch rounds
  • 1/4 cup mayo
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1/2 tsp pepper
  • 2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/8 tsp salt
  • 1 cup grated medium or sharp cheddar

Instructions

  1. In a deep oven safe dish that fits in your Instant Pot (I use this 3 quart IP liner* inside my 6 quart pot) pour in the rice and water. Layer the broccoli on top and then the sausage. 
  2. In a bowl whisk together the mayo, sour cream, cream cheese, milk, pepper, garlic powder and salt until smooth and creamy. Spoon the mixture over the sausage. Sprinkle with the cheese.
  3. Pour 1 cup of water into the bottom of your Instant Pot. Cover the dish with foil. Place dish on top of a trivet with handles*.  Lower the dish into the pot on top of the trivet. 
  4. Cover the Instant Pot and secure the lid. Make sure valve is set to sealing. Set the manual/pressure cook button to 20 minutes. When the time is up let the pot sit for 5-10 minutes and then move the valve to venting. Remove the lid. 
  5. Remove the foil. Scoop onto plates and enjoy!

Notes

I used my 6 quart Instant Pot Duo 60 7 in 1*. To make in the 8 quart pot use 1.5 cups of water in the Instant Pot liner instead of 1 cup.
