How to Make Instant Pot Big Mac Pie
Cook the Beef: Set the Instant Pot to Sauté. Add the ground beef and chopped onion, cooking until the beef is browned and crumbled. Drain the grease.
Make the Special Sauce: In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise, French dressing, and dill relish until combined.
Layer the Pie: Place a tortilla in an 8-inch springform or Fat Daddio’s pan. Add a layer of ground beef, American cheese, sliced pickles, and special sauce. Repeat to make three layers, finishing with cheese on top.
Pressure Cook: Pour 1 cup of water into the Instant Pot. Place the pan on a trivet and lower it into the pot. Secure the lid and cook on High Pressure for 4 minutes, followed by a quick release.
Finish the Pie: Sprinkle with sesame seeds, if desired. Use the compatible Duo Crisp lid at 400°F for about 2 minutes until the cheese is golden, or transfer the oven-safe pan to the broiler briefly.
Add the Lettuce: Top with shredded lettuce before serving.
Tips I Found Helpful 💙
- Drain the Beef: Remove excess grease before layering to keep the tortillas from getting soggy.
- Use the Right Pan: An 8-inch springform or Fat Daddio’s pan works well, as long as it fits your Instant Pot.
- Layer Evenly: Spread the beef, cheese, pickles, and sauce evenly so every slice has plenty of flavor.
- Watch the Cheese: The Duo Crisp lid or broiler only needs a minute or two to melt and brown the top.
