How do I store Instant Pot ground beef and noodles?

How to Store Instant Pot Ground Beef and Noodles

Refrigerator: Allow the Instant Pot ground beef and noodles to cool slightly, then transfer leftovers to an airtight container. Refrigerate within 2 hours of cooking and enjoy within 3–4 days.

Freezer: For longer storage, place the cooled ground beef and noodles in a freezer-safe airtight container or freezer bag. Freeze for up to 2–3 months. Keep in mind that the noodles may soften slightly after thawing.

Reheating: Reheat individual portions in the microwave until heated through, stirring halfway. You can also reheat the leftovers gently in a saucepan over medium-low heat. If the noodles have absorbed too much sauce, add a small splash of broth or water before reheating.

  1. This reminds me of goulash but I love goulash so I am excited. This week is going to be rainy so this is perfect. Thanks for sharing

    1. Hi Gail,
      Thanks for your comment. We may be eating it again this week too. Winter is holding on here in Ontario!!
      Take care,
      Kathleen

    1. Hi Stephanie,
      I used lean ground beef so I did not need to strain it. If you find you have a lot of grease after browning you may need to strain before moving on.

    1. Hi Meghan,
      The recipe should be fine with regular gravy and noodles. Cook your regular noodles for the length of time you normally would in your Instant Pot recipes. I did 3 minutes for gluten free. I have seen some regular noodle recipes do 4 minutes.
      Good Luck and enjoy,
      Kathleen

    1. Hi Ann,
      I am sure that it could be made in a slow cooker. I have never tried that though...
      Take care,
      Kathleen

  2. I have a quick question. I do not have a problem with gluten, so if I use regular items, will it affect the time or anything in the preparation of the recipe?

    1. Hi Marc,
      Online I see people suggest 4 to 5 minutes for regular penne pasta. So you just need to adjust the cook time a little.
      Enjoy,
      Kathleen
