Step-by-Step Instructions
- Begin by setting your Instant Pot to the sauté mode. Once hot, add the ground beef and break it apart using a spatula. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until the meat is browned and no pink remains. Don’t forget to drain any excess fat.
- Next, sprinkle in the onion powder, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and Worcestershire sauce. Stir vigorously for about 1 minute to coat the beef with spices, then pour in the beef broth, scraping any browned bits off the bottom of the pot.
- Now, fold in your elbow macaroni and diced tomatoes gently to combine. Ensure the pasta is fully submerged within the liquid.
- Seal the Instant Pot lid securely, making sure the valve is set to sealing. Cook on high pressure for 4 minutes. Once the cooking cycle completes, perform a quick release of the pressure.
- After the pressure has fully released, gently open the lid. Immediately sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top of your casserole. Close the lid again for about 2-3 minutes, letting the cheese melt.
- Gently stir the casserole to combine the melted cheese with the beef and pasta, garnishing with fresh parsley or green onions. Serve warm with a side salad or steamed vegetables.
