Fall Favorites: Instapot Meals

Linking up with Sarah and Emily to share my favorite instapot meals.

I know the linkup is for crockpot meals, but the truth is I don't own a crockpot! 🙈

I feel like instapot meals are a lot like crockpot meals, just faster!

I am sharing two of my regular meals and two meals I haven't tried yet, but will be perfect for fall!

 

1. Mississippi Roast

Recipe:

5lb chuck roast

2 tablespoons vegetable oil

1 cup coca cola

1 packet ranch dressing mix

1 packet au jus mix

4 tablespoons butter

optional* 6-8 pepperoncini's

 

Directions:

Turn instapot to sauté, pour in your oil, and brown your roast on all sides. After you have browned the roast pour the rest of your ingredients in and turn your instapot to pressure cook/manual and set timer for 40 minutes. Once it has cooked for 40 minutes, let your instapot natural vent for an additional 20 minutes. Vent any remaining pressure and open.

I love this recipe because it is so easy to cook, and in an hour time you have tender roast!

 

2. Spaghetti

Recipe:

1lb thin wheat spaghetti noodles

1 jar of spaghetti sauce of your choice (2 jars if you like a lot of sauce)

1lb ground beef

 

Directions:

Turn instapot to sauté and brown hamburger meat. Top hamburger meat with noodles and sauce. Make sure your noodles are submerged in the sauce. Turn instapot to pressure cook/manual and set time for 12 minutes. Vent pressure and open.

Ya'll this is so simple and easy! My husband loves cooking this meal!

 

3. Veggie Soup

Recipe:

2lb ground beef

1/2 medium onion, diced

2 cups frozen lima beans

2 cps frozen mixed veggies

3 cans diced tomatoes

2 cups water

salt and pepper to taste

 

Directions:

Turn instapot to sauté and brown meat and onions until soft. Add all other ingredients to pot. Turn instapot to pressure cook/manual and set time to 4 minutes. Allow to natural vent for an additional 5 minutes, vent any remaining pressure and open.

As soon as the temperature goes below 90 degrees I am going to have to try this quick and easy meal!

 

4. Broccoli and Cheese Soup

Recipe:

4 cups broccoli florets

3 cups cheddar cheese

2 cups heavy whipping cream

1 1/2 cups diced onions

1 cup diced carrots

Quick release vent the pressure. Turn instapot to sauté, add heavy cream and garlic and stir. Gradually add shredded cheese and stir until melted and well mixed.

I love broccoli and cheese soup and this sounds easy enough to make!
