Instructions
Instructions
- Ensure your pressure cooker's sealing ring is properly fitted for a secure seal.
- In a bowl, combine ground beef, onion, garlic, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, breadcrumbs, egg, and half of the cheddar cheese.
- Spread garlic mashed potatoes in the pressure cooker insert or an oven-safe dish.
- Layer meat mixture evenly over the mashed potatoes and pack lightly.
- Top with remaining cheddar cheese and crumbled bacon.
- Pour 1 cup of broth or water in the cooker to create steam, close lid and cook on high pressure for 20 minutes. Let pressure release naturally for 10 minutes.
Notes
If you’re short on time, store-bought mashed potatoes work fine. For crispy cheese, consider broiling for a few minutes after pressure cooking.
