Instant Pot Hamburger Cheese Pasta

One reason that I love my Instant Pot is the fact that you can cook dinner in one pan in mere minutes. This easy recipe is a prime example of how the Instant Pot can save you time on dinner.

This easy Instant Pot Hamburger Cheese Pasta cooks in only 4 minutes and you brown the ground beef right in the pot so there are less dishes to clean up. Just think about it, there is no way you could bring a regular pot of water to boil and cook noodles in only 4 minutes, but that’s all it takes in the Instant Pot. Enjoy!

How to Make Instant Pot Hamburger Cheese Pasta:

Turn on sauté function on Instant Pot

Cook beef and seasonings until no longer pink.

Turn off sauté function and add broth, milk and noodles.

Cook on manual for 4 minutes. Do a quick pressure release.

Once pressure is done releasing, stir in cheese and let sit a few minutes.

Stir again until cheese in completely melted. Enjoy!

  1. Is this for the 3qt size Instant Pot? We are retired and in our 70's, and have just relocated so no family nearby. Our son got us the 3qt size, and I am wondering about a lot of the recipes posted on Pinterest....how do I tell?
    1. I would assume that most of the Instant Pot recipes out there are for a 6 quart, but as long as you don't fill your's more than 2/3 full you should still be able to use those recipes.
