Description

A mixture of seasoned ground beef, pinto beans, sweet corn, nacho cheese sauce and picante sauce served over a bed of rice. An easy nacho casserole that has a lot of flavor!


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 pound lean ground beef
  • 2 Tbsp dried onion (or 1 cup diced fresh onion)
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt
  • 1 tsp pepper
  • 2 tsp cumin
  • 2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 Tbsp chili powder
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 1 can pinto beans or black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 (10.5 oz) can Pace Nacho Cheese Sauce (mild)
  • 1 cup Pace picante sauce (mild)
  • 1 Tbsp cornmeal
  • 1 cup frozen sweet white corn
  • Hot white rice, for serving
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Instructions

  1. Turn Instant Pot to saute setting. When display says HOT add in the beef and break it up. Add in the onion. Brown for about 5 minutes. Drain off excess grease.
  2. Stir in the salt, pepper, cumin, garlic powder and chili powder.
  3. Pour in the broth and scrape bottom of pot so that nothing is sticking. 
  4. Dump in the beans, nacho sauce, picante, cornmeal and corn. Don’t stir.
  5. Cover Instant Pot and secure the lid. Make sure valve is set to sealing. Set the manual/pressure cook button to 3 minutes. When time is up move valve to venting and remove the lid. Stir.
  6. Scoop rice into bowls and top with a large ladleful of beef mixture and sprinkle with cheese. Serve and enjoy! Alternatively you can spread 2 cups of white rice in the bottom of a 9×9 inch baking dish. Then pour the beef mixture over the top. Sprinkle with cheese and let melt in the oven for 5 minutes at 350 degrees. 

Notes

You can make rice at the same time by using the pot in pot method. After step 4 and before step 5 add in a tall trivet. Place an oven safe dish on top of the trivet. Inside the dish add 1 ½ cups of white rice and 1 ¾ cups of water in the dish. Pressure cook as stated in step 5 and use a 10 minute natural pressure release instead of a quick release.
