Cheesesteak Pasta Instant Pot
I bet you’ve had this in it’s “normal” fashion wrapped in a bun with cheese BUT it’s always good to step out of the box. You’ll love this one just as much, maybe more….
Any brand will do just as long as it has the high pressure function. Use your Crockpot Express or if you make it as an easy Ninja Foodi recipe you can melt and make the top layer of cheese a golden brown.

If you have ever had one of these famous sandwiches you know that they’re packed with flavor for sure, this casserole is no different.
Made in a pressure cooker you can now make this in no time at all. This one pot meal can be thrown together and walk away until the beeper goes off. Then serve since there’s really no side dish necessary.
This is what you’ll need to grab:

- Pasta
- Salt and pepper and/or Italian seasonings
Cheese and lots of it if you ask us!
Ninja Foodi Cheesesteak Pasta
Here are a few questions you might have before you get started:
Typically ribeye steak is what is chosen. Since we are transitioning this favorite meal into a casserole, ground beef is used instead. It makes this meal cheaper and a bit easier to eat for little ones.
Well, it kinda’ says in it’s name: Philadelphia Pennsylvania is where it started by the Olivieri couple.
Traditionally white American or sliced provolone cheese are used, depends on your preference if you’re making it yourself.
2 things you need to remember when making Instant Pot casseroles:
- You MUST deglaze Instant Pot after sauteeing any meat. This means you must get all stuck on meat off the bottom.
- DO NOT stir pasta (or if you’re using rice) in, rather pour it in at the top and gently submerge into liquid.
If you don’t follow these rules, a burn message may occur.
Instant Pot Philly Cheesesteak Pasta
Add the olive oil, bell peppers, diced onions and add the ground beef or sausage. Cook until meat is no longer pink. You can add seasonings at this time if you like. Taste and see if you want more. Use some broth to deglaze the pot and get stuck on meat off the bottom so pot doesn’t display burn notice. Stir to combine ingredients in pot and spread meat out on the bottom.
Pour in Worcestershire sauce, any other seasonings, and remaining broth. Then sprinkle uncooked noodles on the top and gently submerge into liquid, do NOT stir. Close lid and steam valve and set to high pressure for a 6 minute cooking time. Then do a quick release and carefully remove the lid.
Sprinkle in 1.5 cups of your cheese and stir in. Then top with remaining and put lid on ajar just to melt. Then serve! This is what it will look like once all your provolone is melted!
Pressure Cooker Cheesesteak Casserole
You really don’t need a side dish unless you feel the need to have a side salad or other vegetables. I love easy pressure cooker recipes like this where it’s all combined into one pot with veggies, carbs and protein.
I mean if you wanted to use this as the base of a variety of casseroles you could. Just mess around with the meat you use. Instead, next time you could dice chicken and use that instead.
- Same liquid and noodle amounts should stay the same though.
- That is how you can create a ton of different pressure cooker casserole recipes yourself really.
Use different types of small/medium sized pastas to mix it up with different seasonings here and there. I love Old Bay in anything seriously.
