Instant Pot Hamburger Jazz

We all came home hungry, ready to eat and luckily I had put this ground beef and rice dinner in the pot before I left. We consumed it in about 5 minutes flat, scraping the pot clean. It’s a simple recipe but it tastes amazing! You may want to double it!

The name of this recipe is a little funny. I adapted this from another recipe and there was no reason for the name other than her that’s what her grandmother had named it. The best recipes do come from our grandmothers, don’t they?

Ingredients/Substitution Ideas

  • Lean ground beef–or ground turkey
  • Salt and pepper
  • Beef broth–or water and Better Than Bouillon Beef Base
  • Brown rice–or white rice
  • Green enchilada sauce–or red enchilada sauce
  • Petite diced tomatoes–or salsa, crushed tomatoes or Rotel
  • Shredded mozzarella cheese–or cheddar cheese, pepper jack or monterey jack

Steps to make hamburger jazz

  1. Brown the beef by using the sauté setting (“more”) on the Instant Pot.
  2. Deglaze the pot so that you don’t get the burn message.
  3. Layer in the ingredients…rice, enchilada sauce and tomatoes. Don’t stir, this will prevent the burn message.
  4. Pressure cook for the proper amount of time. Depending on what kind of rice you choose to use will affect the cooking time. See the green chart below for different types of rice.
  5. Cheese it up and serve!

Notes/Tips

  • I used my 6 quart Instant Pot Duo 60 7 in 1*. You can make this in your 3 or 8 quart pot with no changes.
  • Double the recipe by doubling all ingredients and keeping the cooking time the same. If you use brown rice only use 2 ½ cups of broth instead of 3 cups for doubled recipe.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container* in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
  • Try using my hamburger chopping tool* for breaking up ground meats.
  • This recipe can be gluten free. Make sure your broth and enchilada sauce are labeled gluten free.
  • This recipe can be dairy free. Leave out the cheese.
  • This recipe can be made with riced cauliflower for a lower carb option. If you choose this route I would not pressure cook the cauliflower or it will get too soft. Rather I would cook this as a skillet supper on the stove.

    Great, easy recipe. I used pizza sauce instead of enchilada sauce, Rotel (undrained) and brown rice. I forgot to add salt and pepper to the beef after sautéing and it didn’t need it. Pure comfort food.

    Hi Karen, love your recipes! So does my husband and he’s a very fussy eater.
    Question: Could this be made as a pot in pot recipe? Thank you!

      yes I think that would be fine. You’ll probably want to increase cooking time for pot in pot by 30%

    I made this to take to my convalescing sister and it was a MAJOR hit!
    I did use Original Ro-Tel and threw in a small can of fire roasted diced peppers!
    Next I am going to try it with chicken!

      I guess you could make the recipe as is. Then stuff the peppers with it. Put them on a trivet with water below it and pressure cook for just 5 minutes

    Did this for dinner tonight. Absolutely one of, if not the, easiest & BEST ones you’ve ever shared with us!! I didn’t have the green enchilada sauce, but did have the red, so that’s what I used. Was so delicious. Am sending the leftovers up to the Peeps (Ppa & Mma) tomorrow. Will make their day.
    Girl, you never fail to amaze me. Thanks & keep up the good work!!

    I added a can of white beans. Some are hard to find after the full cook time, but it did add to it nicely.

    Brown rice 1 1/4 C and white rice needs 1 1/2 C. Those measurements are also found on your IP Rice Cooking Cheat Sheet
    But your instructions on doubling the recipe says “when you double the recipe for brown rice, use nly 2 1/2 C instead of the 3 C.” That doesn’t compute????

      Because you’re using the can of enchilada sauce which soaks into the rice you don’t need as much liquid

    Lol
    You could lighten it up by using lower calorie/fat/carb/whatever versions of the ingredients. For example low fat cheese in place of full fat, cauliflower rice instead of regular. Or try adding more vegetables to increase the volume of a serving without drastically changing the calorie count. Or simply reducing the size of your serving to better meet the requirements of your specific diet.

    I see you cooked this before you went somewhere and came home to it…I didn’t know you can do that!
    How long can it sit on “keep warm”?
    And, I imagine you can’t do this with every recipe? Maybe some will overcook?

    • Karen says

      It’s nice because the pot automatically switches to warm. So any recipe that uses a natural pressure release usually can wait to eat. The only thing it wouldn’t work with is something that needs to immediately stop cooking

    Is it really less broth for brown rice than white? I didn’t know that.

      I usually use 1.25 cups of liquid to 1 cup of brown rice and 1.5 cups liquid to 1 cup of white rice

    Just so you know, if I see any recipes that are very much over 300 to 350 calories per serving, I delete them.

      Not sure what your point is. Maybe ask please post more low carb recipes? Most of her recipes can be modified, for example substitute the rice for frozen cauliflower and use ground turkey. I have to delete every recipe that has tomatoes in it but I don’t complain.

      Just so you know, if there’s a recipe over a certain number of calories, if it sounds like a good recipe and I want to lessen the calories, I find ways to modify it or….I just move on and figure I don’t need to announce it to anyone my personal preferences for recipes. 🤷🏼‍♀️
