To start making Instant Pot Hamburger Stew with Biscuits I chopped up all the vegetables that I wanted to add.  I cut them into small pieces to ensure that they cooked through.

I sliced baby carrots, potatoes, half an onion and half a green pepper.

Once my vegetables were ready I prepared my biscuit dough.  I used Gluten Free Bisquick and followed the directions on the package.

Once the dough was ready I sprayed a silicone egg mold with cooking spray.  Here is a picture of the one I used that goes in the Instant Pot.

I then scooped the biscuit dough into the mold.

 I sprayed some tinfoil with cooking spray and carefully sealed the biscuits in the mold to keep the moisture out.   Set the biscuits aside until the rest of the ingredients are in the pot.

Now time to turn the Instant Pot on.  I added oil and set the Pot to the sauté normal function.  I added the ground beef and let it cook, breaking it apart, until it was about half done.

While the meat was cooking I prepared my liquids.  This included beef broth, diced tomatoes, tomato soup and tomato paste.

While the Pot was still set to saute I added the beef broth and deglazed the pot.

When deglazing was complete I hit the cancel button and added all the chopped vegetables and a half cup of frozen corn.

I poured in the can of diced tomatoes, 2 cups of tomato soup and spooned the tomato paste gently onto the top.

I used tinfoil folded in half to create a barrier for the biscuits.  I used enough tinfoil so that it would come up along the side of the pot and create a sling for easy removal of the biscuits.

I carefully lowered the egg mold containing the biscuit dough into the Instant Pot.

Then I placed the lid on the Instant Pot, turned the steam release handle to the sealing position and set the Instant Pot to Pressure Cook High for 5 minutes.

 

This took longer than other recipes I have tried to come to pressure but was well worth the wait.

When the Instant Pot was done cooking, I turned the steam release handle to the venting position to finish with a Quick Release.

Using oven mitts, to protect my hands from the hot steam, I carefully used the tinfoil sling to transfer the biscuits to a plate.  This may be a little messy.

I turned the Instant Pot back on to sauté.  I measured out a tablespoon of corn starch and mixed it with a few drops of water.  Only enough to make it easy to pour into the hamburger stew.

I stirred until it bubbled and then I turned off the Instant Pot.

I removed the tinfoil cover from the biscuits.  Some of the edges were a bit red from the stew and they had expanded to touch each other.  

I used a knife to separate them into individual biscuits and then inverted them onto a plate.

Cooking the biscuits right on top of the stew makes this hamburger stew with biscuits especially convenient.

If you’re looking for an easy and satisfying recipe, Instant Pot Hamburger Stew with Biscuits, this one is sure to become a family favourite. The combination of ground beef, vegetables, rich broth, and biscuits makes it a comforting meal that’s perfect for cooler days or whenever you want a hearty dinner without a lot of fuss.

FAQs:

What else should I serve with Instant Pot hamburger stew with biscuits?

Because your Instant Pot Hamburger Stew already includes vegetables and biscuits, you really don’t need many additional sides. I’d keep them simple and light.

What to Serve with Hamburger Stew with Biscuits

• Simple green salad – A crisp salad with lettuce, cucumber, and a light vinaigrette adds freshness to the meal.
• Steamed green beans – An easy vegetable side that complements the hearty stew without making the meal too heavy.
• Roasted broccoli – The slightly crisp edges and roasted flavour pair nicely with the savoury beef stew.
• Glazed carrots – If you love carrots, a simple honey or brown sugar glaze gives them a little sweetness.
• Coleslaw – A crunchy, slightly tangy coleslaw provides a nice contrast to the warm stew and soft biscuits.
