Instant Pot Cheesy Taco Pasta is creamy, cheesy, and full of Tex-Mex flavor No need to precook the pasta. This easy recipe can be on the table in under 30 minutes.

 
A combination of browned ground beef, onion, taco seasoning, salsa, green chiles, cheese, and pasta shells make this a super flavorful meal. I also add just a little cream cheese to increase the creaminess. It makes this taco pasta dish so rich and good.

 
What I love about the Instant Pot versus the slow cooker is you can brown your ground beef right in the Instant Pot. No need to dirty up a pan. The clean-up is wonderfully quick and easy.
I use the Instant Pot 6-quart 7-in-1 Multi-Use Programmable Pressure Cooker Instant Pot 6-quart 7-in-1 Multi-Use Programmable Pressure Cooker which can also be used as a slow cooker, a rice cooker, and to make yogurt. If you’ve never used an Instant Pot before, it can be a little intimidating, but you will quickly get the hang of it. Tips for making Instant Pot Cheesy Taco Pasta:

I find 4 minutes of Pressure Cooking is just the right amount of time for al dente pasta. If you want soft pasta, try 5 minutes.
If you want this dish to be spicy, use spicy taco seasoning or you can use a can of diced jalapenos instead of green chilies.
