Growing up, Pizza Noodle Hotdish was one of my mom’s go-to dinner recipes. It was one of the few hotdishes I actually enjoyed to be honest. I don’t find myself making casseroles all that often anymore, but every now and again I crave some of that good hearty comfort food. This Pressure Cooker Light Pizza Noodle Casserole is my mom’s great recipe, lightened up with whole wheat pasta and turkey pepperoni and made much quicker and easier with the help of your Instant Pot!


How to Make Pressure Cooker Light Pizza Noodle Casserole
This is the kind of one pot dish that I love for a simple weeknight dinner. Turn your electric pressure cooker to saute and cook hamburger and onion for a few minutes. Add in the spices, turkey pepperoni, pizza sauce, mushrooms and pasta. Be sure to use whole wheat pasta because white pasta will cook faster and be mushy. If you aren’t a big fan of the texture of mushrooms you can skip them, but I recommend chopping them up finely. When they cook up with the hamburger you won’t even notice they are there.
Lock the lid in place and cook on high pressure for 4 minutes. Release the pressure from the Instant Pot when the cooking time is up and remove the lid. Allow the pasta to rest for 5 minutes and absorb some more of the liquid. Stir in the Parmesan cheese and you have a delicious dinner ready in less than 30 minutes!
