Instant Pot Cheesy Green Chile Beef Pasta Recipe

I’m so enjoying my Instant Pot. This Instant Pot Cheesy Green Chile Beef Pasta is a delicious, cheesy, easy, weeknight meal.

Easy Instant Pot Recipes

This Instant Pot pasta recipe is actually so easy. And because the shells are so small, all that needs to be done is waiting for the IP to come to pressure. That is enough time for the shells to be cooked.

I’ve made this recipe 3 times in the past 2 weeks and found that even setting the cook time for 1 minute is all you need. The first time I made this recipe with the cook time of 5 minutes was WAY too long. The pasta turned out mushy.

Anyway, just waiting for the pot to come to pressure (with the cook time set to 1 minute) is plenty long enough.

How To Make Instant Pot Cheesy Green Chile Beef Pasta

• Add oil to pot and press “Saute.”
• Once oil heats up, add ground beef and onions to IP, cook until no longer pink and onions are translucent.
• Drain and return to pot.
• Sprinkle meat mixture with seasoning, garlic salt and pepper. Stir.
• Pour green enchilada sauce, beef broth and Rotel into pot.
• Add pasta shells, stir.
• Close and lock lid, turn vent to sealing position and press Manual or Pressure Cook, High Pressure and set the cook time for 1 minute. Once the IP comes to pressure, turn off the Instant Pot and use quick release (that is enough time for the pasta to cook, because the shells are so small, without actually cooking it).
• Open lid once the float valve drops, add cream cheese, sour cream and shredded cheese, stir and serve.
