Instant Pot Beef & Broccoli
This recipe lets you cook a home cooked meal that is comparable to eating Chinese takeout. As always it is easier on your budget than ordering take out and you will have leftovers for lunch the next day!
Instant Pot Chicken Noodle Soup
I have got to say, I really wasn’t the biggest fan of chicken noodle soup until I tried this Instant Pot Chicken Noodle Soup Recipe. Now it is one of my favorites. I think it is Tony Chachere’s Marinade that just makes it so delicious. Also, you can freeze individual containers of this. This way you are prepared whenever someone in the house gets sick and needs some warm chicken noodle soup to make them feel better 😊.
Instant Pot Meatball Subs
Instant Pot Meatball Subs are so quick and easy to prepare. This recipe is good when you need to prepare for a crowd or get together also. You can either make your own meatballs or buy the bags of prepared frozen meatballs to save yourself more time.
Instant Pot Chicken Alfredo
Instant Pot Chicken Alfredo is a one pot wonder! You cook the chicken and noodles altogether in one pot. No need for boiling noodles and using a strainer or dirtying an extra pan for just the chicken. The real time saver is the one pot for cooking everything together, plus it is dishwasher safe!
Instant Pot Chicken & Sausage Gumbo
Any gumbo normally takes hours to prepare when cooking it on a stove top. This Instant Pot recipe lets you get your taste of delicious Louisiana dish without having to spend all day in the kitchen. Check out the quick and easy potato salad recipe also. It is a genius time saver!
Instant Pot Spaghetti
Who doesn’t love spaghetti? Well, you will love it even more now that you can cook the meat, sauce, and noodles all together in just one pot! Spaghetti has always been one of the easiest meals to prepare. This Instant Pot Spaghetti recipe just makes it quicker and easier. The trick is in layering the meat then the noodles on top in a criss-cross pattern.
Instant Pot Chicken & Dumplings
This is such a delicious meal that your family will be asking for seconds! For me, the best part is the delicious dumplings with a little warm gravy. I find using Bisquick for the dumplings rather than canned biscuits makes this recipe a crowd pleaser!
Final Thoughts
I like finding new quick and easy dinners that we can make in the Instant Pot. It helps me stick to my budget rather than ordering out or going through a drive-thru. Not only that but once you get a few good time-saving recipes in your dinner rotation it helps for your busiest weeks to not be so stressful.
