Instant Pot Southwest Corn Pudding

I've always enjoyed corn bread, Mom made it for us fairly often. Usually she just used the little box of mix and made corn muffins. We'd put those in the bottom of our bowl and pour a generous ladle full of her homemade chili right over them! So good!

So let's revisit that cute little box of cornbread mix for something a little different!

This dish is very moist, and though it is called a corn pudding, it isn't that creamy texture you get from actual pudding. This leans closer to a corn bread that is dense and moist. It has a nice savory tone to it, as opposed to the sweeter corn puddings made with cream corn and have added sugar.

This Instant Pot Southwest Corn Pudding is great on its own, but would be delicious in that bowl of chili, too!

I enjoy cooking with my Instant Pot, and like I said before, this is the kind of dish that is best cooked in a wet environment, so pressure cooking it is perfect!

Serve with a dollop of sour cream, salsa, a little hot sauce, or along side my Instant Pot Black Bean Soup, for a Tex-Mex feast!

Ingredients

For the Pressure Cooker (preferably use a tall trivet/rack with 2 ½" to 3" legs)

2 ½ cups Water

Corn Pudding

1 (8 ½) oz Box of Corn Bread Mix
1 cup Southwest Vegetable Blend (frozen-thawed or canned-drained) (corn, black beans, red pepper, onion, etc)
½ (4 oz) can Green Chiles (drained)
½ cup Monterey Jack Cheese (Shredded)
1 tsp Chili Powder
½ tsp Kosher Salt (or ¼ tsp table salt)
¼ tsp Garlic Powder
¼ tsp Onion Powder
⅔ cup Sour Cream
2 Eggs (beaten)
⅔ cup Milk
1 tsp Mexican Oregano (or ½ tsp regular oregano) dried
A few dashes Hot Sauce

Garnish with Any of These

Sour Cream
Salsa
Green Onion
Hot Sauce

Instructions

Spray a 1 to 1 ½ quart dish with cooking spray (affiliates: I use a 7" stackable stainless pan with a 7" parchment round on the bottom for easier removal).
Pour water into the inner liner of the Instant Pot Pressure Cooker. Place a (affiliate) tall trivet/rack in also.
Mix all ingredients together until well combined.
Pour into prepared pan and cover tightly with foil.
Place pan on rack in pot, using a sling.
Put the lid on the pot and lock it into place. Close the steam release knob (Sealing position).
Press the Pressure Cook (or Manual) button, and then the + or - button to choose 50 minutes.
When the cooking cycle has ended, let the pot sit and naturally release the pressure for 5 minutes. Then open the steam release valve by turning the knob to the Venting position.
When the pin in the lid has dropped down, open the lid and carefully remove the corn pudding to a cooling rack.
Let the pudding cool with the foil in place until ready to serve.
To serve, flip the corn pudding onto a plate and gently shake the pan, if necessary, to release it. Remove the parchment round, if using, before serving.
Garnish with sour cream, green onion, salsa, hot sauce, or eat as is.
