Ingredients

Servings
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 yellow onion diced (about 1/2 cup, small
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 green bell pepper diced
  • 1 can diced tomatoes 14 oz (don't drain)
  • 1 can tomato sauce 15 oz
  • cup beef broth
  • cup jasmine rice
  • 1 Tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 cups cheddar-jack cheese shredded

Instructions

  1. For the pressure cooker, select "browning/saute" to preheat the pot. Once hot, add the ground beef and onion and saute for about 5 minutes, stirring constantly until beef is browned. I drained out any extra fat/oil.
  2. Next, add the garlic and bell peppers, saute for 1 full minute.
  3. Add tomatoes, tomato sauce, beef broth, rice, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Lock the lid in place. Select "High Pressure and 5 minutes cook time.
  4. Once the cook time ends, turn off the pressure cooker and use a natural release for ten minutes. Then finish with a quick pressure release and remove lid. Sprinkle the cheese on top, place lid back on, and let sit for a few minutes to allow cheese to melt.
  5. Serve and enjoy hot!

Notes

  • We tested this recipe using a 6 quart Instant Pot.
  • Feel free to use frozen green peppers and onion. Since we cook the vegetables to soften them, this is a great place to use frozen veggies.
  • No need to cook the rice first, as it will cook during the pressure cooking process.
  • Want to serve it in a pretty dish? I get it. Not everyone loves serving dinner from the pot. Transfer the cooked casserole to a serving dish BEFORE adding the cheese. Top with cheese and let it melt naturally (or place in oven to melt cheese).
  • Store leftovers in refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in microwave until warm.
  • See blog post for more recipe tips and tricks.
