Instant Pot Beef & Broccoli Rice is a Creamy, Delicious Meal Your Family Will Adore!

We love Instant Pot Beef recipes. Some of our favorites include Instant Pot Egg Roll Bowl and Instant Pot Taco Soup.

INSTANT POT BEEF & BROCCOLI RICE

Instant Pot Beef & Broccoli Rice is an easy, delicious way to give your family a dinner they will love. It includes many of our favorites – savory ground beef, tender broccoli, and a cheesy, yummy sauce.

It’s also easy on your pocketbook and quick to prepare in your Instant Pot!

IS INSTANT POT BEEF & BROCCOLI RICE KID-FRIENDLY?

This recipe is definitely kid-friendly! The combination of broccoli and cheese sauce is sure to please kids of all ages, and the mix of flavors is amazing!

IS INSTANT POT BEEF & BROCCOLI RICE A ONE-POT MEAL?

This is one of my favorite things about this recipe! Without the Instant Pot, you would have to brown the ground beef, steam the broccoli, cook the rice, and bake the finished dish all in separate pans. That’s a lot of prep and cleaning!

Thanks to the Instant Pot, you can prepare this cheesy goodness all in one pot, and in a fraction of the time!

DOES INSTANT POT BEEF & BROCCOLI RICE FREEZE WELL?

You can definitely freeze this recipe, but I suggest adding in extra sauce when you reheat it as rice tends to dry out a bit when frozen. Leftovers will keep well in the refrigerator though, and they make for wonderful weekday lunches!

Happenings From Our Family Of 9

Our oldest daughter started college yesterday (pictured is her on her 18th birthday).  Seems like yesterday she was starting youth group at church.  Time sure gets by us in a hurry.  She is an amazing young woman and although its sad to see her not a child anymore, its exciting to see the growth that’s taking place in her and where she is headed.  We are sure proud of her!

Testimonials

  • Amorette DavisUser of the Free Freezer to Slow Cooker One Week Menu

    Thank you so much! As a special needs mommy these recipes have helped us so much.   I often am very busy with being a nurse for our child that I don't have time for making sure we get meals.  This allows me to do all my prep on the weekends, while my husband is home to help, and to cook during the week.  So grateful!

  • Linda SearsOwner of Freezer to Slow Cooker Menus

    Sarah’s Freezer to Slow Cooker ebooks have been a fantastic addition to my meal plans.  They make meal planning easy and my family happy. I love the way each recipe is laid out, with a shopping list and ingredient prep list, along with cooking instructions. Sarah’s done all the hard work for me!  The recipes have used have all been delicious and easily adaptable to my family’s taste and the number of people I’m serving.

  • FranOwner of Freezer to Slow Cooker Ebooks
     I purchased all of your freezer to slow cooker ebooks a month or so ago and I'm in love with this way of cooking.  I now have taken all 10 weeks of recipes and written them of my menu planner and then I repeated the 10 weeks and will continue to do so throughout the year.  My family of 5 adults and 1 child enjoy the meals that you have planned and I have cooked and I'm excited that the next time when that meal comes due up in the rotation I won't have to purchase anything but just pull it from the freezer.  Thank you so much

    This makes my life so much easier. I'm a busy work at home/stay at home mom, wife, business woman and I feel like dinner is always the thing I just never get time to do. We have done like 15 of the crockpot recipes from Sarah and they are all very yummy. They get a thumbs up from my husband and kids every time. And there is always enough for my husband to take the left overs at least 2x per recipe. I have a family of 5, 2 adults, 21, 13, 16. So it makes plenty. Thank you Sarah.

  • Dawn S.Buyer of Freezer to Slow Cooker Ebook Series
    I am a 59-year-old wife and mother of two grown children.  I love your idea of fixing a lot of meals ahead of time and then pulling one out, put it in the crockpot, and you have dinner when you get home.  I hate feeling rushed when I cook so Monday - Friday I use those crockpot meals and make enough that we have lunch the next day.  I take Sunday afternoon, fix up what I need for the week (I don't have a lot of freezer space so I do a week's worth at a time) and I'm done with it!  Saturdays I like to try new recipes from some of my cookbooks which I am finding I can freeze as well!  So you have shown me a whole new way to organize my time and still put a healthy meal on the table.  Thanks so much and I look forward to future blogs.
