Let’s Do This!
Ingredients
- 1/2 lb ground beef
- 1 1/4 tbsp flour
- 1 tbsp taco seasoning
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1 cup tortilla chips
- 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
- Sour cream, salsa, and shredded lettuce for serving
Step 1: Prepare the Meat Mixture
Press the Sauté button. Add beef and cook, stirring occasionally for 5 minutes. Drain fat.
Sprinkle the ground beef with flour and taco seasoning. Pour in the beef broth and mix well. Bring the mixture to a boil and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens. Turn off the Instant Pot.
Step 2: Assemble the Casserole
Scoop the meat mixture into a 7-inch cake pan.
Spread tortilla chips evenly over the meat mixture.
Top with shredded Cheddar cheese.
Cover the cake pan with foil.
Step 3: Prepare the Instant Pot
Clean the inner pot of the Instant Pot and place it back inside. Pour water into the Instant Pot and add the trivet. Create a foil sling or use a silicone sling and carefully lower the cake pan into the Instant Pot.
Step 4: Cook the Casserole
Close the lid and turn the pressure release handle to the Sealing position. Press the Pressure Cook button and set it to Normal for 7 minutes. When the timer beeps, allow the pressure to release naturally for 10 minutes, then quick release any remaining pressure. Unlock the lid and set it aside.
Step 5: Serve and Enjoy
Using the sling, carefully remove the cake pan from the Instant Pot and remove the foil. Serve the taco casserole with sour cream, salsa, and shredded lettuce on the side for a full taco experience.
Pro Tips to make your Instant Pot Taco Casserole awesome –

- For extra flavor, try using a Mexican cheese blend instead of just Cheddar
- Make sure to create a proper seal with the foil to prevent moisture from getting in
- Feel free to customize with your favorite taco toppings – diced tomatoes, jalapeños, or guacamole would all be great additions
