We'd love it if you shared it!

Homemade Instant Pot Hamburger Helper is an easy one-pot Instant Pot recipe for a beef and cheese pasta. This warming, filling comfort food is great for busy nights.

Yesterday I shared my thoughts on my New Instant Pot, as well as a recipe for Ziti With Beef And Cheese. If you read that post, you might recall that I mentioned I’ve tried a number of other recipes in the Instant Pot as well. The second recipe I made was for a Beef And Cheese Pasta. Hubby and I both thought that it had a sort of Hamburger Helper-ish type of feel. Here’s how I made Homemade Instant Pot Hamburger Helper .

Some of the posts on this site, such as this one, contain an affiliate link. This means I MAY get paid a VERY SMALL commission if you purchase the product or service.

• Instant Pot pressure cooker (I used the 6 qt model)
• Instant Pot glass lid – I love this lid because it keeps the food warm while I’m serving or while we’re eating
• Instant Pot silicone lid – This lid is for food storage purposes. It will enable you to store your Instant Pot in the fridge, keeping your meal or leftovers covered and fresh.
• Instant Pot silicone mitts
• silicone spoon
• measuring cup – I like the Pyrex glass measuring cups. They are super easy to read, wash well, and are very sturdy when placed on the counter.

Here’s convenient buttons that will let you easily purchase any of the items I’ve listed.
