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
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.

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.
Thank you so much Dawn! If hubby is happy it’s a big win! I am so glad you enjoyed it! <3
I’m out of noodles can I use spaghetti or anothe pasta. Would time change?
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.
Can you use french onion soup mix or does it need to be canned soup?
What brand of French Onion Soup do you use?
I use Campbell’s. I would think any brand would work.
Made this tonight and it was super easy, quick & soooo delicious! Thank you!
I am so glad you enjoyed it! Thank you so much for stopping by to tell me! <3
