Last year I did a post on my 5 favorite instant pot meals. Now that our kitchen is finally completed, I’m not using my Instant Pot as much just because I don’t have to but that doesn’t mean I love it any less. I used my Instant Pot nonstop for over a year while we were remodeling our kitchen and safe to say that I consider myself seasoned in using it. Some of you may have gotten Instant Pots over Christmas and are finally getting around to using them. Maybe you’ve had it for a while and are in need of some new recipe inspiration. Give these a try with the added bonus that they are kid friendly – at least with my kiddos. 😊

I did have to make it a bit on the mild side because my kids are not big fans of spicy foods but you can adjust the seasonings to your preferred tastes. There’s also a LOT of chopping so you definitely need to plan your timing accordingly before you make it but otherwise it’s tasty.

#3 Instant Pot Spaghetti
One of my favorite things about this Instant Pot is how easy it is to cook pasta, rice, & beans. Even though I’m using more traditional appliances in my kitchen these days, I ALWAYS use it to make rice and pasta. It’s SO much easier. This is a pretty foolproof spaghetti Instant recipe that our family enjoys.
