Now that you’re drooling, let’s gather our ingredients. This is where the magic happens! Here’s what you’ll need:

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 2 cups of pasta shells
  • 2 ½ cups beef broth
  • 1 cup of your favorite marinara sauce
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (because cheese makes everything better)

Now that we have our fantastic lineup, it’s time to cook! Follow these simple steps, and soon you’ll be the star of your own kitchen show:

  1. Turn on your Instant Pot and set it to sauté mode. Add the ground beef and diced onion. Cook until the meat is browned and the onion is soft, about 5-7 minutes. Don’t forget to break up the beef as you go—it’s not a beauty pageant; we’re cooking here!
  2. Once browned, drain any excess fat and return the pot to the heat.
  3. Stir in the pasta shells, beef broth, marinara sauce, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Give it a good mix so everything is cozily nestled together.
  4. Close the lid of your Instant Pot and set it to high pressure for 4 minutes. Yes, just 4 minutes! Grab a snack while you wait—perhaps some cheese?
  5. Once the timer goes off, release the pressure with the quick release method. Careful, it’s steam-y business!
  6. Open the lid and stir in the shredded cheese until it melts into cheesy goodness. You may want to do a little happy dance here; we won’t judge!

And there you have it—Aunt Fannie’s Dinner! Serve it hot, share it with family, or hoard it for yourself; we won’t tell. Enjoy the delightful flavors and the satisfied faces around your table!
