Comforting Instant Pot Beef & Dumplings made in the Instant Pot with stew meat, potatoes, celery, onion, and carrots.

Dump and Start Instant Pot Recipes

Making these beef and dumpings in the Instant Pot is incredibly easy. It's as easy as dumping everything in all together except for the biscuits, closing the lid, and pressure cooking.

Once it is done pressure cooking, allow the Instant Pot to naturally release pressure for 10 minutes before depressurizing and removing the lid.

Instant Pot Beef & Dumplings Freezer Meal

This recipe also makes a great freezer meal, simply prepare the meal as if you were making it by dicing the ingredients and placing them with the stew meat in a large Ziploc freezer bag. Place everything in the bag except for the broth, Worchestershire sauce, and the biscuits. Shape the freezer bag to fit the inside of your pressure cooker and freeze.

On the day that you are making the Instant Pot Beef & Dumplings, empty the freezer bag to the inner liner, add the liquid ingredients, and pressure cook for the same time.

Beef and Dumplings served in white bowls with handles and garnished with parsley.

It will take longer to reach pressure since it is frozen but the cook time stays the same.

After it is done cooking, allow the pressure cooker to naturally release for 10 minutes before releasing any additional pressure, and add in the cut biscuits and cook them on saute for 5 minutes.

Homemade Dumplings

For ease, I like to use biscuits to make my dumplings but you can use made from scratch dumplings if you prefer. To make the dumplings you will need flour, salt, baking powder, salt, shortening, and milk.

To make the dumplings:

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
3 tbsp shortening
3/4 cup of milk

Mix together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Beat in the shortening until the mixture is crumbly. Stir in the milk and drop by spoonfuls into the Instant Pot when it is on Saute.

You can also use boxed baking mixes to make easy homemade dumplings.

Canned Biscuit Dumplings

If you're tight on time, like I often am, using canned biscuits is quick, tasty, and easy to add to this recipe. I purchase a can of 8 biscuits and I cut each biscuit into 8 pieces and roll them up.

Once the Instant Pot is on SAUTE mode, I toss them in and use a large spoon to coat them in the beef broth, and cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Using canned biscuits makes this recipe even easier than going the homemade dumplings route, but it's up to you!
