Instant Pot Hamburger Helper

Instant Pot Hamburger Helper

To get started you're going to turn your instant pot to the sauce feature.

When it shows "Hot" on the display you're ready to add your olive oil and hamburger.

Throw in all of your seasonings and brown the hamburger.

Once its browned, add the noodles and more seasonings.

Then add the two cans of beef broth and try to push all the ingredients down so there's not too much sitting on the surface.

Then set the instant pot to cook for 8 minutes and do a quick release.

Add in your milk, cheese, and party dip or sour cream if you have it.

Turn it back onto sauté and stir everything together until it's melted.

And serve! I don't know about you guys...but in our opinion you can't have hamburger helper without some bread and butter to go along with it😉.

Ingredients:

• 1lb hamburger
• 8 oz elbow noodles
• 2 14 oz cans beef broth

Notes:

I had some party dip leftover and no chips left so I threw that in too, probably about 2 TBS, you don't have to do this but I'm sure it made it a little tastier😉.

For the seasonings you can really do however much you prefer but I suggest at least 1-2 tsp of all of them, especially the paprika.

Reheating instructions:
If you're reheating from the fridge I throw it in a pan on the stove and add a splash of milk so it doesn't get to dry, then just heat through stirring occasionally.
From frozen - The night before you are ready to eat, put your hamburger helper in the fridge to thaw. Stir a bit of milk into your thawed pasta (about 1/4 cup) add a sprinkle of fresh cheese to the top, and bake at 350 for about 45 minutes or until hot.
