  16. Ingredients
  17. Instant Pot Duo
  18. 250 g Minced Beef
  19. 100 g Tinned Tomatoes
  20. ½ Litre Macaroni
  21. 1 Large Onion peeled and diced
  22. 200 g Soft Cheese
  23. 400 g Cheddar Cheese
  24. 1 Tbsp Olive Oil
  25. 1 Tbsp Garlic Puree
  26. 1 Tbsp French Mustard
  27. 1 Tbsp Tomato Puree
  28. 2 Beef OXO Cubes
  29. 1 Tbsp Basil
  30. 1 Tbsp Oregano
  31. Salt & Pepper
  32. Steps
  33. In the Instant Pot place into the pot the onion, garlic, tomato puree, olive oil and mustard. On the sauté setting cook for a minute or two or until the onions are soft.
  34. Add ½ a litre of boiling water along with tinned tomatoes and 2 beef OXO cubes. Stir well and allow to bubble a little.
  35. Add the seasoning, the mince and the macaroni and mix well.
  36. Place the lid on the Instant Pot and set to sealing. Cook for 10 minutes on the manual setting.
  37. After 10 minutes and it has beeped allow to rest for 5 minutes and this will soak up the juices and add to the flavour of the dish.
  38. Take the lid off and add all the cheese and stir well.
  39. Serve.
  40. Notes
  41. Normally when I make a cheese sauce I will mix soft cheese with whole milk and it will give a lovely creamy base. This would be just like I did in my alfredo sauce but because of the leftover stock no milk is needed in this recipe. However if your sauce is too thick just add a little milk when mixing in the cheese.
  42. For mustard I usually use a little French mustard as English can be too strong for this dish.
  43. You may find it very strange to see ½ a litre of macaroni pasta. This is because to make the pasta and water equal and easy to follow you want equal portions. I set my water to the ½ litre mark then refilled it with pasta to the same level as I placed the pasta in the pot.

  • This recipe is for macaroni if using another type of pasta you may need to adjust liquids.
  • It is important to drain extra liquids after browning hamburger.
