Her recipe is the inspiration for this recipe and I knew that if I made it, it would have to be the best instant pot beef stroganoff in the world to try to compete.
I think I did okay.

I crave easy comfort foods and this Instant Pot Stroganoff satisfies my appetite! This recipe is the best most delicious and frugal version of the classic Beef Stroganoff my mom makes. Using hamburger instead of stew meat gives this a rich flavor without any can of soup needed.

Add ground beef, oil and onion into the instant pot and use the sautee function to brown the beef. I always use an extra lean ground beef so I don't drain it. If you are not using extra lean beef, remove the beef from the pot, drain and return to the pot.

* The mixture will thicken but if you want it thicker, sooner, you can add 2 tablespoons of cornstarch dissolved in 2 tablespoons of water. Add in at the end and then sautee to bring the mixture to a boil and stir until mixture is thick. Serves 4.

I’m new to the instant pot world, but am loving your recipes so far. One question, many of the recipes, like this one, serve 4. I have a family of 5, 2 of which are teenage boys. I’m nervous to double the recipe(s) b/c I’m not certain about cook times. Is there a basic rule of thumb you follow?
Mom says
The cook times will be the same, the amount of time it takes for your pressure cooker to come to pressure will be different if you add more to the pot. I hope that makes sense.
