PICNIC CASSEROLE RECIPES

Steps:

• Place pasta and onion powder in the Instant Pot. Add water and stir to combine.
• Layer tuna, frozen peas, and soup evenly on top of pasta--do not stir.
• Secure the lid, making sure the vent is closed.
• Using the display panel select the MANUAL function*. Use the +/- keys and program the Instant Pot for 4 minutes.
• When the time is up, quick-release the pressure.
• Add cheese and stir until melted.
• Optional: Transfer the mixture to a baking dish and cover with crushed potato chips. Place under the broiler for 2-3 minutes.

Steps:

• Press the button SAUTÉ. Set it for MEDIUM, NORMAL, or CUSTOM 300°F and set the time for 5 minutes.
• Pour the broth into an Instant Pot and heat it until wisps of steam rise off the liquid. (It can even come to a very low simmer— but not too much because you’ll lose the liquid necessary for the pressure.)
• Make an even layer of half the hash brown cubes in the pot. Turn off the SAUTÉ function. Break the ham steaks into thirds and set them on top of the potatoes. Make an even layer of the remaining potato cubes on the ham. Sprinkle the sage, thyme, onion powder, and cayenne (if using) evenly over the potatoes. Lock the lid onto the pot.
• Option 1 Max Pressure Cooker Press Pressure cook on Max pressure for 3 minutes with the Keep Warm setting off.
• Option 2 All Pressure Cookers Press Meat/Stew or Pressure cook (Manual) on High pressure for 4 minutes with the Keep Warm setting off. The vent must be closed.
• Use the quick-­release method to bring the pot’s pressure back to normal. Unlatch the lid and open the cooker. Sprinkle the cheese evenly over the top of the dish. Set the lid askew over the pot and set aside for 5 minutes to let the cheese melt before serving by the big spoonful.
