More Please Casserole
Today’s recipe is adapted from Just a Pinch. The author, Pat, says, “I moved to Cocoa, FL a couple years after high-school. About once a year the Brevard Sentinel Newspaper had a fairly large insert of recipes from the readers. I still have two of those inserts (the middle 60s). This recipe is one I copied way back then and have used over the years. There are different versions of it. When I make this, everyone enjoys it and after one helping states, More Please!”
My version uses the Instant Pot and instead of pasta I went for brown rice. I chose to use up what I had in the freezer so I used edamame instead of frozen peas. It’s just one of those recipes that you can mix and match what you have on hand.

- Lean ground beef--or ground turkey

I would like to substitute noodles for rice.
How should I adjust the amount of broth, noodles, and time to cook?
I would use 2 cups of broth and then 8 oz of noodles. The cooking time will be around 4 minutes for most pastas. Good luck!
Wow this was great! I doubled the amount of meat and used ground turkey instead. I’d recommend cooking brown rice longer than 22 min for softer texture.
