Earlier this week we shared our yummySlow Cooker Beef Noodlesand today we are sharing our recipe for Electric Pressure Cooker Beef Noodles for all you folks looking for Instant Pot recipes.

We have begun converting some of our favorite slow cooker recipes to electric pressure cooker recipes and you can find them all here (the page will automatically update as we add more).

My girlfriends could NOT believe that I could have a pot of old fashioned beef and noodles ready in just a couple hours vs. the all day affair that this comfort food usually entails. This recipe is definitely one to hang on to for holidays or after a long day when some serious comfort food is in order!

Can I sub out the french onion soup for anything that doesn’t contain dairy? I am trying to make a dairy free version of this since my partner is lactose intolerant.

  We haven’t tried this with any dairy free substitutes, but think that you could try beef broth. If you give it a try, let us know how it goes!

  Hi Kelly-
  I haven’t tried freezing it, however, if you see the blue number of servings in the recipe card, you can click it and reduce the servings and it will reduce the ingredients to meet your needs. Cooking times and slow cooker sizes may need to be adjusted but it will help you figure how to make a smaller batch. If you cut in half, I would just use a smaller slow cooker and/or keep an eye on it while it cooks so that it doesn’t overcook with less ingredients in the pot. Hope that helps!

Hi Cris, I’m attempting to make this recipe but my pressure cooker doesn’t have a browning/searing function. Would I use the saute button instead? Also, should I let the pot come to a boil with or without the lid before adding the noodles? I know it’s a silly question but I’m fairly new to the pressure cooker. Thanks for the recipe!

  Hi Carol!
  The saute feature should work fine and we brought ours to a boil with the lid off. Hope that helps! Enjoy!!

Did you use Campells CONDENSED French onion soup & Consume(that’s the only kind I can find) and if so, did you mix each can with a can of water before putting in pot with meat? THANK YOU. And would you have a recipe if I used 1 1/2 lb. of meat instead of 3lb.

  Hi John-
  We used the condensed soups without adding the water. We will always indicate if the water needs added but most of the time we do not add water when using condensed soups as an ingredient. Hope that helps!

I made this recipe tonite, but my grocery store did not have frozen egg noodles. I substituted Anne’s flat dumplings and did everything else per the recipe, except I removed the beef while the dumplings cooked and thickened the sauce with cornstarch slur. Flavor was great and so easy. I might add baby carrots next time for a one dish meal.
