Instant Pot sausage and rice is so good! A cheesy casserole packed with smoked sausage, tender rice and vegetables cooked all in one pot in no time at all.

Ingredients

  • 1 pkgkielbasa (hillshire farm smoked sausage)
  • 1 cancream of mushroom soup (10 oz)
  • 1 cmixed vegetables (frozen)
  • 1 cwhite rice (uncooked, long grain)
  • ½onion (diced)
  • ⅛ tsppepper
  • 2 cbeef broth
  • 1 ccheese (sharp cheddar, shredded, more if desired)
  • 2 tbspolive oil
  • salt and pepper to taste (keep in mind smoked sausage has a lot of flavor already in it so may not be necessary, add at end to taste)

Directions

  1. 1

    Put pressure cooker on saute and add olive oil. Then slice sausage into half moon pieces. Put these and your diced onion into your pressure cooker.

  2. 2

    Cook just until sausage is lightly browned on the outsides. Then turn pot off. Add 1/4 cup of your broth into your pot and scrape with a wooden spoon to get any stuck on pieces off = deglazing your pot.

  3. 3

    Sprinkle in all of your seasonings and your frozen vegetables.

  4. 4

    In a bowl whisk together the remaining broth with your can of cream of mushroom soup until smooth, pour this into your pot.

  5. 5

    Stir all contents together.

  6. 6

    Sprinkle uncooked rice on to the top but DO NOT STIR. Just gently push down so it is submerged into the liquid.

  7. 7

    Put lid on, close steam valve and set to high pressure for 9 minutes. Then allow to naturally release steam for 3 minutes before letting out remaining steam with a quick release.

  8. 8

    Add in 1/2 of your cheese and stir gently into rice casserole. Allow to rest with lid off so it thickens for 10 minutes. Top with remaining cheese and place lid back on for 5 minutes so cheese melts. (even if you don't add extra cheese, let it sit for at least 10 minutes with lid off to thicken up)
