Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound lean ground beef or ground turkey
  • 1 cup diced onion
  • 1 rib of celery, sliced or diced
  • 8 ounces sliced mushrooms
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • 1 tsp pepper
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp sage
  • 1/2 tsp dried rosemary leaves
  • 1/2 tsp dried thyme leaves
  • 1 1/4 cup chicken or beef broth
  • 1 cup parboiled rice or long grain white rice
  • 4 ounces cream cheese
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup cashews
  • 1 cup chow mein noodles

Instructions

  1. Turn Instant Pot to saute setting. When display says HOT add in the beef/turkey, onion, celery, mushrooms. Brown for about 5 minutes. Turn off Instant Pot. Stir in the salt, pepper, garlic powder, sage, rosemary and thyme. 
  2. Pour in the broth and scrape bottom of pot so that nothing is sticking. Sprinkle in the rice evenly on top, do not stir it in. Dump the cream cheese on top.
  3. Cover Instant Pot and secure the lid. Make sure valve is set to sealing. Set the manual/pressure cook button to 4 minutes. When time is up let pot sit for 5-10 minutes and then move valve to venting. Remove the lid. 
  4. Stir in the heavy cream and cashews. Sprinkle the chow mein noodles on top. If you’d like you can use an air fryer lid to brown the top (for about 3 minutes at 375 degrees). 
  5. Serve and enjoy!
