To make this ground beef and rice dish, I started by setting my Instant Pot to Saute Less for seven minutes.

Then I added a dab of margarine to the pot, followed by a pound of lean ground beef.

I crumbled the ground beef well as it cooked.

When the Instant Pot turned off, the ground beef was still slightly pink.

I poured some water into the pot with the ground beef and then scraped the bottom of the pot well to make sure nothing was sticking.

I added some salt, pepper, onion powder, garlic powder and gluten free taco seasoning to the pot.

Then I poured some long grain white rice into the pot.

I gently pushed the rice around until it was all submerged in the liquid but did not stir.

Then I placed the lid on the Instant Pot, turned the steam release handle to the sealing position and set the Instant Pot to Pressure Cook High for 6 minutes.

Once the Instant Pot was done cooking, I immediately turned the steam release handle to the venting position and did a quick release.

Then I removed the lid from the Instant Pot.

I stirred the contents of the pot well.

Then I added some Heinz chili sauce and medium corn and black bean salsa to the pot.

I stirred well again and then set the Instant Pot to Saute Less for 3 minutes just to heat up the sauce and salsa.

Once the Instant Pot turned off, I added some shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheese to the pot.

I stirred well again and served immediately.

This cheesy ground beef and rice is a hearty dinner recipe perfect for cold weather.

The salsa and taco seasoing give this dish a bit of a kick but it is not overly spicy.
