What size Instant Pot did I use?

We use an 8 qt Instant Pot to cook all of our meals.  I like this size because I can use it for larger meals like Instant Pot Mississippi Pork Roast and Instant Pot Cajun Shrimp Boil as well as smaller meals like Instant Pot Macaroni and Cheese.

What do you serve with Homemade Hamburger Helper?

• Broccoli

Ingredients – Instant Pot Hamburger Helper with Fried Onion Topping

• Fried Onion Topping
• 1 lb. Ground Beef or Turkey
• 3 Cups Beef Broth
• 1 Knorr Chicken or Beef Tub
• 1 Tbsp. Nature Seasoning (this is a mixture of onion, salt, pepper, and garlic)
• 2 Cups Twirls Noodles or Elbow Macaroni Noodles
• 1 cup of milk
• 1 cup of shredded cheese
• 1 tbsp. corn starch

Instructions – Instant Pot Hamburger Helper with Fried Onion Topping

#1.  First, put Instant Pot on saute mode (high).

#2.  Next, add ground turkey or beef, Nature Seasoning or your seasoning of choice.  Saute until there is no pink left in the meat.  I add my Knorr Chicken or Beef Stock Tub while I brown my meat to let it disintegrate.

#3.  Then add 3 cups of beef broth and 2 cups of noodles.

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

#5.  Then press the “Pressure Cook” button.  Next, press the “Pressure Level” button until you have selected “High Pressure”.  **Please note- If your Instant Pot is still on saute mode you will need to press “Cancel” then “Pressure Cook”.

#6.  Turn the timer on for 4 minutes. Once pressure builds up, the timer will start counting down. (Meanwhile, you can place some garlic bread in the oven to start warming up.)

#7.  After the timer has completed turn the steam release valve to “Venting” for a quick release of steam.   Watch it close.  You may have to close it and open it just partially if some of the liquid sprays out.  **Warning – The steam is very hot, use a towel to turn the release valve so it does not burn you. 

#8.  Mix you 1 cup of milk and 1 tbsp. of cornstarch together.

#9.  Stir in your milk and cornstarch mixture. Then add 1 cup of shredded cheese.  The longer you let it sit the thicker it will get.

#10.  Serve and then add your fried onion topping!!!!
