Ingredients

1 tbsp olive oil
½ onion chopped
½ lb ground pork
½ lb ground beef
4 bell peppers chopped
¾ cup long grain white rice
1 ⅔ cup chicken broth
1 tsp garlic
14 oz can tomato sauce
2 tsp dried mint
½ tsp oregano
½ tsp salt
2 tsp paprika
2 cups colby jack cheese shredded

Instructions

Turn the Instant Pot to SAUTE and add 1 tbsp olive oil to the pot. Add onion and SAUTE for a few minutes, until translucent.
Add the ground pork and ground beef and saute cook until cooked through, adding more olive oil as necessary.
Add the rest of the ingredients except Colby Jack Cheese to the pot.
Secure the lid and turn the pressure to HIGH for 6 minutes. When the timer goes off, allow for a 5 minute Natural Pressure release and then perform an Instant Pressure release.
Add 1.5 cups cheese into the pot, stirring to combine. Then, sprinkle the remaining cheese on top of the rice and put the lid back on for a minute or two to allow the cheese to melt (do not turn the pot on). Enjoy!

Notes

Recipe copyright The Foreign Fork. For educational or personal use only.

If you want to have some extra flavoring in your meat, you can choose to use flavored sausage instead of simple ground pork
You can use any kind of melty cheese you have on hand if colby jack isn’t an option!
