Beef & Rice Mixture
- 2 pounds ground beef
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 1 teaspoon seasoning salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 cup long grain brown rice
- 1 Tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 Tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 2 (14.5-ounce) cans diced tomatoes
- 3/4 cup water
- 2 cups shredded cheddar
Special Sauce
- 2 Tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup Greek yogurt or sour cream
- 1/3 cup ketchup
- A dash of salt and pepper
- Chopped pickles
Instructions
- Start sautéing: Turn your Instant Pot to the ‘SAUTE’ function and add a drizzle of olive oil to the inner pot. Add the ground beef, diced onion, seasoning salt, black pepper, and garlic powder to the pot. Using a hamburger chopper, break up the ground beef.
- Prep the mixture: When the hamburger is broken up and mostly browned, add 3/4 cup water to the pot. Using a wooden spoon or spatula, scrape the bottom of the pot to remove any browned-on bits.
- Add rice and seasonings: Sprinkle one cup of brown rice over the water and hamburger mixture and do NOT stir it together. Top the rice with Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, and two cans of diced tomatoes. Be sure to cover all the rice with the tomatoes.
- Cook under pressure: Place the lid on the Instant Pot, lock it in place, and move the knob to the sealing position. Cook on high pressure for 10 minutes. After the cooking is complete, allow the pressure to naturally release for 10 minutes. Carefully turn the knob to vent to release any remaining pressure.
- Combine and melt cheese: Using a fork, mix the beef and rice mixture. Top with shredded cheese and place the lid back on the pot for 2–3 minutes to allow the cheese to melt.
- Prepare the special sauce: While the casserole is cooking, mix the special sauce ingredients in a small bowl. Serve the casserole with the sauce and chopped pickles on the side. Enjoy!
Notes
- If you are using white rice, immediately release the pressure from the pot as soon as the 10-minute cooking time is complete.
