Essential Equipment

Instructions

  • Turn the Instant Pot to 'Sauté' and allow it to heat up.

  • Add the olive oil and sauté the onion and garlic until the onion begins to turn translucent.

  • Add the ground beef to the pot and brown.

  • Once the ground beef is fully cooked, turn off the 'Sauté' feature.

  • Add the salt, pepper, Worcestershire sauce and corn and mix well.

  • Add the beef stock and mix well.

  • Add the 2 cans of soup and mix well.

  • Add the elbow pasta to the pot and just push them down into the liquid but do not mix them.

  • Close the Instant Pot and set it to 'Manual' or 'Pressure Cook' High Pressure for 3 minutes. Remember to set the pressure release valve to sealing. Once cooking is done, allow for a 2-minute Natural Pressure Release. Release any remaining pressure once the two minute NPR has completed and open the pot.

  • Add the sour cream and mix all the ingredients well.

  • Top each individual serving with Parmesan cheese if desired.

Tips & Tricks

Replace the mushrooms. If you're not a fan of mushrooms, you can replace the cream of mushroom soup with cream of chicken.

Top with breadcrumbs. Transfer the casserole to a baking dish, top with breadcrumbs and parmesan and bake at 350° for 30 minutes or until the top begins to get crispy.

Make it lighter. Replace the sour cream with whole-milk Greek yogurt.

Serving Suggestions

Top with parmesan. A bowl of this warm pasta casserole topped with grated parmesan cheese is perfection. That how I always serve it.

A slice of plain white or sourdough bread. My kiddos like eating this pasta casserole with a slice of bread. Some will even be adventurous and wrap the casserole up in the bread and eat it that way. I, for one, am not that adventurous.

A salad or steamed veggies. A side salad or steamed veggie like broccoli and cauliflower make a perfect side dish for this casserole.
