Vegetables Recipe ⤏ Instant Pot® Loaded Broccoli Mash

Cauliflower seems to be getting all of the attention these days when it comes to cutting carbs, so I decided it was time broccoli gave it some competition. This turned out so creamy and delicious and would pair nicely with a grilled steak or anything you'd normally serve with mashed potatoes.

Ingredients

• ½ cup water
• 1 pound fresh broccoli, chopped
• 2 green onions, chopped
• 4 ounces cream cheese
• 1 tablespoon butter
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
• ½ cup shredded Cheddar cheese
• 2 tablespoons real bacon bits

Cooking Directions

1. Turn on a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®). Add water, broccoli, green onions, cream cheese, butter, salt, and pepper. Close and lock the lid. Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 1 minute. Allow 10 minutes for pressure to build.
2. Release pressure carefully using the quick-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, about 5 minutes. Unlock and remove the lid.
3. Using a potato masher, mash mixture to desired consistency. Add Cheddar cheese and bacon. Stir until cheese is melted.
