Quick and Easy Instant Pot Philly Cheesesteak Pasta

Let us walk you through how to make this Instant Pot Philly Cheesesteak Pasta dish, common questions, and even tips to help you create the best meal for your family.

How To Make

Step 1: Start by turning your Instant Pot To the Saute Feature. Then start to brown your ground beef (try the mix and chop!). If you are using a leaner ground beef add in 1/2 a tablespoon of oil to help prevent sticking.

Step 2: When your ground beef is close to being fully cooked, Toss in your peppers and onions that you have prepped. Once the meat is fully cooked, you can remove grease if you would like before moving to the next step.

Step 3: Pour in your water or beef broth, ketchup, Worcestershire. Use a wooden spoon to deglaze the bottom of the pot. It needs to be clean or you run the risk of a burn notice. Consider buying the nonstick Instant Pot liner!

Step 4: Add in the pasta. Press the pasta down into the liquid but do not stir. Place lid on, seal the vent and cook for 6 minutes followed by a quick release.

Step 5: Once your dish is done, open the lid and put in all the cheese but just a bit and stir. Then once well combined and cheesy, top with remaining cheese and serve.

Can we Use A Different Meat

Absolutely! Cook up some ground turkey, pork, or even chicken. Or if you have steak on hand you want to slice up thinly, go right ahead.

This recipe is rather versatile so you can swap out the meat for what you have on hand. We just wanted to make this an Instant Pot ground beef recipe that was affordable to make.

What Is The Best Pasta To Use

Honestly, any smaller shaped pasta works. Rotini, shells, elbow, etc. Any pasta that pressure cooks works in this recipe.

We just recommend not doing spaghetti style, as that gives this dish a whole new texture.

Variations To Recipe

• Add in 1 cup of sliced mushrooms
• Use a different meat, steak, ground turkey, etc
• Swap out the cheese for say pepper jack for heat or even mozzarella
• Use bone broth in replace of liquid
• Etc

You will find you can change this cheesesteak recipe to fit your needs and what you have in your pantry and fridge. Philly cheesesteak instant pot dish is versatile so create what you like.

Keeping leftovers

Store leftovers in the fridge for up to three days. Then when you are ready eat cold, reheat in the microwave, or even heat on the stove.

If you do stovetop you might need to add a bit of liquid to prevent drying out.

Because of the cheese and such in this recipe, you will find it isn’t the best to freeze. The texture of the dish will change once it thaws out. If you want to try it we recommend doing a smaller batch and see how you like it.
