Luke Bryan Casserole

Today’s recipe is my Instant Pot take on Luke Bryan’s favorite casserole. I loved this dish! I will definitely be making this again. Yellow rice with seasonings are accompanied by diced tomatoes, green chilies, bell pepper, carrots, black beans and melty cheese. I accidentally left out the chicken that I intended to add into the pot but I was so happy with the meatless result. You can definitely add in the chicken if you’d like! Add in chunks of raw chicken with the rice or you can add in rotisserie chicken that has been chopped up. This beans and rice dish is also perfect as leftovers for lunch the next couple of days. I liked mine with a dollop of sour cream on top. Enjoy!

Ingredients/Substitution Ideas

• Olive oil–or canola, vegetable
• Onion–or yellow, white
• Water
• Zatarain’s yellow rice–or another brand of yellow rice with seasonings
• Carrot–or peeled sweet potato
• Green bell pepper–or red bell pepper
• Black beans–or pinto beans
• Rotel–I used mild Rotel. Rotel is usually found next to diced tomatoes at the grocery store. It is diced tomatoes with green chiles and seasonings in it.
• Colby and monterey jack blend–or shredded cheddar cheese

Steps

Turn Instant Pot to saute setting. When display says HOT add in the oil and swirl around. Add in the onion and saute until softened. 

Pour in the water and scrape bottom of pot so that nothing is sticking. Turn off Instant Pot. Sprinkle in the rice mix.

Then dump in the carrot, pepper, beans and Rotel. Don’t stir.

Cover Instant Pot and secure the lid. Make sure valve is set to sealing. Set the manual/pressure cook button to 5 minutes. When time is up let pot sit for 10 minutes and then move valve to venting. Remove the lid.

Stir in the cheese.

Salt and pepper to taste and serve. 

Notes/Tips

• Serve with a dollop of sour cream.
