Thank you for sharing this recipe! I’ve made it with chopped beef a few times and it’s become a favorite in our home. We unfortunately have some food intolerances so we leave out the chilies and cilantro and replace the garlic with shallots. Love how quickly this comes together. Perfect for busy weeknights. It’s in our rotation for sure!

In reply to Helen P Weaver. Hi Helen - it's either-or, whichever you prefer.

In the ingredients you say sausage, but in the directions you say beef. Which was it?

In reply to Lauren. Hi Lauren - yes, just five minutes plus the time it takes for the pressure cooker to come to pressure is as long as it needs. Enjoy!

I hope you answer quick!
I have this in my instant pot right now but how long does it go on high-pressure? I set the timer for five minutes but is that all supposed to be in there for?

In reply to Erin.

Hi Erin – it feeds 4 – 6 people. You can fill the pot two thirds full. As long as you don’t exceed that, you can double the recipe. It will take longer to come to pressure so you may want to decrease the time at pressure by a minute. Let me know how it goes 🙂

How many does this feed? I need a whole 32oz bag of pasta to feed our family of 6. 2 cups of pasta isn’t enough. How much does this fill up the pot? I’m wondering if I could double everything, except the meat. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!

Ok, I’m back again. As promised, made this dish Italian style. Used penne, Italian sausage, 1 T spaghetti seasoning, cannellini beans instead of corn. No chili powder, cilantro or chiles. It was phenomenal! Next time will add some spinach at the end for color and flavor. Can’t believe how easy and delicious this is!
