Notes

  • Make sure to always check your manufacturer’s guide for detailed instructions on how to use your instant pot.
  • Just because the boxed version has multiple variations, doesn't mean I don't! Check out my Three Cheese Hamburger Helper, Cheeseburger Hamburger Helper, or One Pot Hamburger Helper Lasagna for some more inspiration.
  • Make sure when you're adding the ingredients to scrape the brown bits in the bottom of the instant pot, they add delicious flavor!
  • Play around with cheeses, spices etc to make this dish your own. There are a ton of variations you can make with this base recipe.
  • This instant pot hamburger helper is just as delicious the next day! Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 – 4 days.
  • If you want to freeze your leftovers, let them cool completely then freeze in an airtight container. Your instant pot hamburger helper will stay fresh for up to 3 months if stored properly.
