Instant Pot Shipwreck Casserole

Instant Pot Shipwreck Casserole

Shipwreck casserole is one of those recipe where it has a long list of ingredients but they are all items you are likely to have on hand. I’m not exactly sure where the name shipwreck casserole comes from but one story goes that following a shipwreck, shipmates grabbed what food they could before abandoning the vessel and this mixture became their supper on land, from the result of what they had gathered. Another theory is that’s is a mishmash of ingredients that are thrown together a bit like a shipwreck would be. I guess the name doesn’t matter as much as how awesome this tastes!

Some versions of this recipe have bell peppers, celery, tomato soup, kidney beans and cajun seasoning. Most versions are heavy on rice. My version switches it up and uses cabbage, hardly any rice and an awesome mixture of seasonings that makes it taste so good! I was so pleased with the results. I kept eating it and couldn’t stop. There are no leftovers after I had two servings, Skyler had two servings and Reagan and Greg each had a serving each. I’ll definitely be making it again soon!

    I keep getting a burn notice on the instant pot. I added more liquid than it asked for.

    Would love to make this, but do not have cabbage on hand. Would this greatly be altered without it? Could I add more rice or something else to make the recipe? I love your recipes and bought your cookbook!

      I doubled the carrots and added fresh corn. I think peppers would be good too

      I haven’t tried this in the crockpot. I’ve had mixed results with rice in the crockpot. If you did try it I would brown beef on stove before adding it to the CP.

    This one got my attention. Just one quick question. And one I always ask myself when prepping one of your IP recipes.

    Is the cooking time adapted to your altitude or to a more generic, standard altitude. I’ve notice that the IP suggested cooking times can vary based on altitude. And if I recall, you live in thinner air than many of us!!

      I do live at 4000 feet elevation. This shouldn’t change most recipes though.

    Took a little prep work to put together but was well worth it. My hubby went for seconds, he loved it. I also added more chili powder. More like a whole teaspoon instead of a half. Was so very good. Thank you for sending this recipe to my email today.

      My husband also loves it. The first time I made it I didn’t have any tomato sauce so I used a can of diced tomatoes. The next time I used sauce, couldn’t really tell the difference. I also used 1 Tbs Fish sauce, which added a lot to the taste.

    Certainly looks tasty but I might have to overrule you and add more chili powder. A 1\2 tsp would barely register with my taste buds. This also requires corn bread or biscuits if you’re out of cornmeal. Keep ’em coming kiddo.
