Large Family Instant Pot Cowboy Casserole
Your family will love this hearty Cowboy Casserole that comes together in your favorite large size electric pressure cooker!
Ingredients
- 4 lbs. ground beef browned
- 3 pounds red potatoes scrubbed and quartered
- 1 onion chopped
- 1 can 10 oz. tomatoes with diced peppers
- 1 can 15.5 oz. kidney beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 tsp chili powder
- 2 tsp cumin
- 1/4 c. water plus minimum required by your pressure cooker manufacturer
- salt and pepper to taste
- 2 c. shredded sharp cheddar cheese
Instructions
- I use my 8 qt Instant Pot or 14 qt Go Wise Pressure Cooker for this recipe. This recipe requires the pot in pot method. If you do not have a pot to place inside the pressure cooker pot, create a sling using aluminum foil.
- Add the minimum required amount of water to the pot liner of your pressure cooker. Add the trivet and sling (or inner pot).
- To the sling, place potatoes using salt and pepper to season well.
- Top with onion, cooked ground beef, beans, tomatoes, and seasonings. Add 1/4 c. water over the top of the casserole.
- Cover the instant pot and set the valve to sealing. Cook on manual or pressure cook setting for 30 minutes. Carefully use the quick release to depressurize the cooker.
- Stir the casserole.
- Cover with cheese and replace the lid until melted. Serve.
Notes
Cook's Note: Remember that potatoes need a lot of seasoning to avoid a bland dish.
