This is an easy and quick recipe for Instant Pot Stuffed Tomatoes. Tomatoes are stuffed with meat and rice and topped with breadcrumbs and cheese. Pressure cooking only takes 2 minutes!
Slice the top off of each tomato and save them for later. Using a teaspoon or melon baller, scoop out the seeds and pulp and place them into a food processor. Process and pour this into the inner pot of your instant pot.
In a skillet/frying pan, cook the ground beef with little oil, salt, black pepper and garlic powder. Make sure the seasoning and spices are evenly distributed by stirring it around. When the beef is cooked, transfer this into a mixing bowl. Add cooked rice, crumbled Feta cheese and finely chopped parsley. Mix together until well combined. You can taste it and add more seasoning, if needed.
In a small bowl, mix the breadcrumbs with grated cheddar and set aside.
Fill each tomato with the ground beef mixture, top them with the breadcrumb topping and place them in instant pot. Place the tops back on the tomatoes.
Lock the lid in its position. Press MANUAL (pressure cooking) and adjust the time to 2 minutes. After the time is up, release the pressure right away (quick release).

Notes
The filling should be enough for 8-10 medium tomatoes.
The doneness of the tomatoes will depend on their size and ripeness. I suggest using firm tomatoes, not over-ripe ones. The cooking time can be reduced to 1 minute, especially when using ripe tomatoes as they will not need so much time to cook.
This recipe was developed for a 6-quart/6-liter instant pot pressure cooker.
Add extra 10-12 minutes to the overall cooking time. This is the time needed for the pot to come to pressure.
I used long grain rice to make this. 1¼ cup cooked long grain rice = ½ cup uncooked long grain rice (90 grams). You can use other type of rice, if preferred.
Sunflower oil can be substituted with vegetable oil or olive oil.
