Instant Pot Sausage Rice Casserole



1/2 cup chopped onion 
1 cup diced carrots 
1 cup diced celery 
1lb sausage, I use Jimmy Deans original 
1 1/2tsp creole seasoning
1 tsp garlic powder 
2 cups white jasmine rice (I use calrose) rinsed and drained
3 1/3 cups broth or a mixture or broth and water 
1 bay leaf

Turn instant pot to sauté. Add some oil and start to brown the onion and celery for a minute or 2. Add in the sausage and brown. Turn off sauté.  Drain any excess grease.  

Add in the seasonings, rice, and broth/water. The amount of water should just cover the rice and sausage. Add the bat lead on top. 

Cook on manual for 8 minutes. Release pressure whenever. 

*The amount of broth/water you need depends on the type of rice you use. I add 1/3 cup more of liquid then I do for my normal rice amount. So if you want to use brown rice you could substitute the liquid amounts and then add another 1/3 cup.
