This Instant Pot Ground Beef and Rice was so easy to make and really filling! Some people wonder, “Can you cook rice and meat at the same time in the Instant Pot?”. Yes you can! We browned our ground beef, onions, bell peppers, and celery (also called seasoning blend) using the saute function on our Instant Pot first. Then we added a little butter and our rinsed rice and lightly toasted it still using the saute function. After that was done, we added in our liquids and remaining ingredients and pressure cooked for 3 minutes. We let the pot do a natural pressure release for 10 minutes and then quick release the remaining pressure. That’s it! Very easy and sooo good!

Instructions – Instant Pot Ground Beef and Rice

#1. First, put your Instant Pot on “Saute” mode and brown your ground beef. Add in your Cajun/Creole seasoning while you are browning your ground beef.

#2. Once your ground beef is browned drain most of the grease from your Instant Pot only leaving about a couple of Tbsp of grease on the bottom.

#3. Next add your diced onion, bell pepper, and celery to your Instant Pot and cook them down for about 5 minutes until they brown a bit.

#4. Then add your minced garlic, long grain rice, and butter to your Instant Pot. Continue to cook this all together on the “saute” mode for about 3 minutes. You want to lightly toast your rice in the butter. You will need to continuously scrape the bottom of your pot with a plastic spatula so that your rice does not stick to the bottom and burn.

#5. Next, add your Worcestershire sauce, chicken broth, and beef broth. Scrape the bottom of the pot to make sure you get any pieces that might be stuck to the bottom off of the pot.

#6. Next, close the lid and turn the steam release valve to the “sealing” position.

#7. Then press the “Pressure Cook” button. Next, press the “Pressure Level” button until you have selected “High Pressure”.

#8. Turn the timer on for 3 minutes. Once pressure builds up, the timer will start counting down.

#9. After the timer has completed allow your Instant Pot to naturally release the pressure for 10 minutes. Then quick release any remaining pressure after that. **Warning – The steam is very hot, use a towel to turn the release valve so it does not burn you.

#10. That’s it! Your Instant Pot Ground Beef and Rice is ready to be served.
