Slumgullian IP

This was a Simple Stew that I grew up with. A Pennsylvania Dutch Stew. It has so much better flavor made in the IP. The short Pressure cook time keeps the Celery’s color brighter and the potatoes are perfect. The Hamburger is nice and tender. The IP makes this a really pretty Stew. You could even add green peppers if you like them.

1 lb Hamburger

1 onion Chopped about 1 1/2 c.

2-3 stalks Celery sliced into 1/4” slices about 1 1/2 c.

4 medium sized unpeeled potatoes (not Russets) cut into 1” chunks rinsed.

*Optional:
1 -2 c Green Beans cut into 1” pieces
4 Oz Crimini Mushrooms slices…(I used them this time. I’ll be making it this way from now on.)

1/2 c Flour

1 tsp Salt

1 Tsp Pepper

3 Tbsp Butter

1 1/2 c of Chicken Broth …mom used water. (or water and 1 Tbsp Costco’s Better than Bullion Chicken)

In a frying pan, Sauté Hamburger until nice and Brown, ( important for flavor). Drain all but 2 Tbsp fat. Add the butter. Saute until the butter melts. Add the flour, salt and pepper and stir for a couple minutes until the flour has had a chance to brown some.

This is important.. layer and do not stir, Onions, Celery, Chicken Broth, Meat and Potatoes.

Put the lid on and set the Vent to Sealing, and the time to 4 min. And then do 3 min NPR. Then QR the rest out. Open the lid and carefully stir the slumgullion, down to the bottom. It will appear watery until you stir it. Season with more Salt and Pepper. Serve into bowls.

Condiment ..Hot Sauce if desired.

I Only made half of a recipe in my Mini just for the Pics. Well…plus my sweet hubby needed dinner.?
