Instant Pot Homemade Hamburger Mac Recipes

INSTANT POT® HOMEMADE HAMBURGER MAC

Steps:

• Turn on a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®) and select Saute function. Add beef and saute, breaking meat up as it cooks, until browned, about 5 minutes. Remove beef and drain in a colander to remove excess fat.
• Return beef to Instant Pot® and add onion. Cook for 3 minutes. Add taco seasoning, garlic, parsley, and chili powder; cook and stir for 1 minute. Add a dash of beef broth to deglaze the pot, scraping up any brown bits. Add remaining broth and tomatoes. Stir to combine. Mix in macaroni, stirring until noodles are completely submerged in liquid. Close and lock the lid. Turn off Saute mode.
• Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 3 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.
• Release pressure using the natural-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, for 5 minutes. Release remaining pressure carefully using the quick-release method, about 5 minutes. Unlock and remove the lid. Serve with a dollop of sour cream.

INSTANT POT MAC AND CHEESE WITH GROUND BEEF

Steps:

• On saute mode, cook the onions, bell pepper and ground beef until the ground beef has browned. Drain grease. Return to inner pot.
• Combine next 6 ingredients in Instant Pot inner pot on top of the ground beef mixture. Make sure noodles are all submerged in liquid.
• Close the instant pot lid and turn pressure valve to seal. Cook on manual high pressure for 4 minutes.
• Allow for a quick pressure release and then add in the remaining ingredients, stirring in the cream cheese and cheddar cheese to melt with the pasta, and then adding in the milk a little at a time.

INSTANT POT HAMBURGER MAC AND CHEESE

Steps:

• Sauté the beef along with the garlic powder, smoked paprika, onion powder, ground cumin, salt, and Worcestershire sauce in your Instant Pot for 5-7 minutes. Stir and break the beef up with your spoon as you go along. Most of the liquid should be evaporated before you move onto the next step.
• Add the macaroni and water to the Instant Pot. Give it a good stir. Close the lid and make sure the valve is set to "sealing". Cook on high pressure for 5 minutes (it'll take about 10 minutes for the Instant Pot to come up to pressure).
• Meanwhile, grate your cheeses.
• Once the countdown has finished, carefully do a manual pressure release.
• Stir in the cheeses (a large wooden spoon works well for this). I like to stir in about a third of the cheese at a time until it's nice and creamy, and then repeat until all the cheese has been used.
• Season with extra salt & pepper as needed. Serve immediately.

BEEF AND MACARONI - INSTANT POT RECIPE - (3.8/5)

Steps:

• Select Sauté or Browning on your Pressure Cooker and allow it to heat. Add olive oil to the Pressure Cooker cooking pot and then dump in the beef and break into pieces as you brown. When meat is partially brown, add onions (and peppers, if using) and sauté until meat is mostly brown. Add garlic and sauté one more minute. Drain excess grease, if needed. Add the rest of the ingredients. Lock on the lid and close the Pressure Valve. Cook on High pressure for 6 minutes (or half the time indicated on your package of macaroni). When Beep sounds, allow a 5 minute natural release, then put a paper or dish towel over the vent and do a quick release. Top with freshly grated cheese. Notes If you use a heartier pasta, you may need a longer cook time. Rule of thumb is that you cook your pasta for one-half of the time indicated on the package of pasta. For aldente, err on the lower cook time.
