    Instant Pot Creamy French Onion Ground Beef and Noodles is the perfect amount of savory beef flavor combined with rich french onion and a touch of creamy noodles. This is deliciously easy, budget-friendly, comfort food ready to go on the table in minutes.

    Stove Top Directions Included

    Creamy French Onion Hamburger and Noodles

    This flavorful dish is a mix between a stroganoff and a french onion hamburger rice dish my mother in law always made. I need to get that one up on the blog.  I made it in the Instant Pot for two reasons. It is a super easy one pot meal and my house is still a mess from our little flood and construction.

    My pictures don't really do the taste justice. My house is literally in chaos. Half packed in boxes and the other half is scattered everywhere. I think we are going to be like this for a few weeks, so y'all just bear with me while I throw together some quick dishes over the next few weeks.

    Honestly, I just wanted to make something to feed the family, so I started throwing this together and it worked out! Gotta love when that happens!!

    If you do not have a Pressure Cooker this totally can be done on the stove top. Just cook those noodles as the package instructs. And then do everything else in a deep skillet or a larger pot.

    What you need for Instant Pot Creamy French Onion Ground Beef and Noodles

      This recipe is exactly what I was looking for! I love anything French onion. Here is what I did - I caramelized 2 medium onions then removed them and covered them for later. I added the onions back to the pot along with all the other stuff, I did not have beef broth so I just used water, when it was finished cooking I drained all the water out and added another can of French onion soup along with the sour cream and I skipped the milk because I was out. I used San Giorgio Malfalda pasta (from Amazon) This is the best French onion anything I've ever eaten! Thank you for sharing it.

        I have not tested with Elbows on this recipe. I would try 4 minutes, that is what I use for IP Mac and Cheese. You can always do another minute if needed.

      I assume you drain the grease after doing the ground beef???
      This sounds excellent!

        I usually use really lean ground beef and leave. If you have a lot you can drain it if desired! Thank you Mary! I hope you enjoy it!

      I made this tonight. I had bought a larger package of the egg noodles, and I think next time I will use the entire package and also add 1/2-1 pound of hamburger meat. The recipe itself is super easy, it just came our pretty soupy and didn't thicken as much as I would have liked. But the flavor, was so rich and amazing!

      This was a big hit with the whole family! I didn't have canned french onion soup but I had dry onion soup mix and it worked great! I added more broth and water for my 8 qt pot and it was excellent!

        I am so glad it was a hit! That warms my heart! I keep eyeing an 8 qt, but since there are only 3 of us in the household I haven't made the plunge. I'm glad to know if works out well though! I love that dry soup mix. I have been thinking of trying it with the beefy one to see what it does to the flavors.

      Yummy! very very very good my husband wanted more! I made this dish with diced onions and minced garlic when sauteeing the meat. I then added the other ingredients and added parsley, grated parmesan and Romano cheeses.

        You can use any type of pasta. For this recipe I have only tested with this but I make spaghetti for 8 minutes and elbow pasta for 4 minutes.
