Instant Pot Ground Beef & Rice is a Delicious Family Favorite that You Can Have Ready in No Time!

Instant Pot Ground Beef Recipes are so delicious!  Some of our favorites include Instant Pot Pasta Fagioli Soup and Instant Pot Taco Pie.

Instant Pot Ground Beef & Rice

This Ground Beef & Rice recipe one of our family’s favorites. It’s cheesy, creamy, and savory – and so, so good. It’s one of those meals that everyone wants more of!

Because it’s made in the Instant Pot, it’s easy to prepare and ready in minutes. Really, can you get any better than that?

CAN I ADD A DIFFERENT VEGETABLE?

We love the addition of peas in this recipe, but there are other vegetables that would go well with it too! If you have a family member that isn’t crazy about peas (or you don’t happen to have any on hand), you might try corn or diced carrots.

WHAT SHOULD I SERVE WITH INSTANT POT GROUND BEEF & RICE?

One of the great things about this recipe is how versatile it is! Personally, I love to serve it with a fresh salad and Southern Cornbread Muffins. Everything else is already included in the dish!

WILL INSTANT POT GROUND BEEF & RICE FREEZE WELL?

This recipe is better fresh or refrigerated, as rice tends to get a bit dry when frozen. If you would like to freeze it though, you can! I would recommend freezing it without the sour cream and cheese, as those are easy to stir in when you reheat it. I would also recommend adding a bit more liquid or sauce in order to rehydrate the rice.

We rarely have leftovers, since it’s so good that everyone finishes it off! I know that your family will love this dish as much as ours does. Enjoy!

Happenings From Our Family of 9

My husband and I recently took a trip to Nashville to attend a entrepreneurship conference.  It is so motivating to go and learn how to improve our business!   We have a big list of things to tweak and twist.  One of our new commitments is to  produce more video content.  Stay tuned for that!  Below is a picture of us outside of our hotel as we were leaving the conference.

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.
