This one-pot ground beef Mexican casserole combines seasoned beef, rice, beans, corn, and tomatoes for a hearty family dinner with minimal cleanup. Add fresh toppings at the table so everyone can finish their bowl the way they like it.
A QUICK NOTE
Before pressure cooking, make sure the rice is completely submerged and scrape down any food stuck above the liquid line. This helps the rice cook evenly and reduces the chance of a burn warning.
