Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

1 pound lean ground beef
1 cup finely diced onion
2 tablespoons taco seasoning mix
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 teaspoon dried parsley
½ teaspoon chili powder
2 cups beef broth
2 cups canned diced tomatoes, with juices
2 cups elbow macaroni
½ cup sour cream

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.

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

Beef and Macaroni - Instant Pot Recipe - (3.8/5) image

Provided by lindaauman

Number Of Ingredients 13

Ingredients

1 pound ground beef (or turkey, chicken, Italian sausage, venison)
1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
1/2 Onion, diced well
1/2 Bell Pepper, diced (optional)
3 Garlic Cloves, minced fine
1 (25 ounce) jarred marinara sauce
1 (25 ounce) jar of water
1 (15 ounce) can Tomato Sauce
1 Tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon Salt
1/4 teaspoon Crushed Red Pepper Flakes
1/4 teaspoon Ground Black Pepper
1 pound rigatoni, or any other Macaroni

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.

Tips:

Sear the beef: Searing the beef before adding it to the Instant Pot helps develop its flavor and creates a richer broth.
Use a flavorful broth: The broth you use will greatly impact the flavor of the soup. Choose a broth that is flavorful and complements the beef and macaroni.
Add vegetables: Vegetables add flavor, color, and nutrients to the soup. Feel free to add any vegetables you like, such as carrots, celery, onions, or peas.
Season to taste: Once the soup is cooked, taste it and season it with salt and pepper to your liking. You can also add other seasonings, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika.
Serve with your favorite toppings: Beef and macaroni soup is delicious on its own, but you can also serve it with your favorite toppings, such as shredded cheese, sour cream, or chopped green onions.
