3 Instant Pot Recipes that will CHANGE YOUR LIFE!! | Beginner level Recipes

okay if you're anything like me you might have been a little scared of an instant pot I have not even wanted one since they've been out but y'all I finally got one for Christmas and I can tell you I've been loving it the last couple weeks so I figured if you're in the same boat as me and you're a little bit intimidated by the instant pot I would start out and show you some of the recipes I have made first with my instant pot instant Pot recipes perfect for beginners so if you just got an instant pot or you have one and it's been stored in the back of your pantry bring it out and let me show you three simple recipes all right if you have an instant pot and you have not made just some chicken breast in there you need to do this this is so simple you can start out with frozen chicken breast like I am today or fresh work the exact same way so we're just going to start out by placing our chicken breast down in our instant pot with the trivet next I'm gonna season pretty liberally I'm just using my auntie No No's everything seasoning but just use any type of neutral or house seasoning that goes with a lot of different things after that we're just going to add one cup of chicken broth to the bottom of our instant pot and that is it you will be amazed at how tender this chicken is my kids just love it so we're gonna add our lid back on we're gonna time this for 12 minutes if you're using Frozen it will be a couple minutes longer than fresh I'll have all the instructions for all that down in my description box below but we're going to time that 12 minutes on high pressure we're going to let our instant pot come up to pressure we'll cook the 12 minutes and then we want it to a natural release I have learned from research while doing this that anytime you're doing the meat in here you really want it to Natural release because if you do the quick release it's going to cause your meat to kind of be a little tough on you so once that is all complete we're going to open it up and just look at this chicken it is so beautiful and the best part about this is you have your chicken prepped you can do so many different things with this my husband and I are gonna have this for our milk prep for the next couple days for lunches I just added some buffalo sauce to ours but you could add this to Soups On Top of salads pastas have your chicken ready for your casseroles for the week whatever it is that you're gonna make this chicken is an absolute must make and it's going to help you out in so many different ways all you have to do is shred up your chicken with two forks as you can see it easily just Falls right apart pop this in the fridge and you will have your chicken or your protein for the week already done this is by far one of my most favorite things I've been doing in my instant pot over the last couple weeks I think everybody suggested I make was spaghetti and let me just tell you everybody was right if you have not tried instant pot spaghetti I promise you're gonna change the way you make spaghetti from here on out so first we're just gonna Brown up one pound of ground beef right in the instant pot on that saute function this is probably my favorite part of this spaghetti seriously all in one pot next I'm just going to season up my meat do that however you want and then one big tip I have for you you want to add is to splash of water in here at the end and and kind of scrape up any bits that may have been stuck when you're Browning up your meat that's just so you don't get that burn notice on your instant pot next we're going to add in one box of spaghetti and this half cut spaghetti from the store it seems lazy but it actually works perfectly for this instant pot spaghetti we're going to add in the entire pound right on the ground beef and we're just going to kind of layer it in a crisscross pattern and this is so your noodles don't stick together also I forgot to mention if you do have a fattier ground beef you'll want to drain it but I'm just using a lean ground beef so I really don't even have to worry about that at all so I'm going to add in all of my spaghetti noodles then we're gonna add one jar of pasta sauce next I'm going to fill that jar up with about half a jar of water Shake It Up to remove any of that extra pasta sauce pour that in and then pour on an additional three cups of water once you have everything in your instant pot you are not going to stir this at all the main thing is you want to make sure your noodles are completely covered in that liquid we're going to add the lid back on and this is going to cook on high pressure for only seven minutes it'll take 10 minutes or so for the instant pot to come up to pressure I do have it set to ceiling and then you can actually quick release on spaghetti I just let my natural release for a few minutes and then did the quick release and once you open your lid it's going to look a little bit watery but do not fear it's supposed to you have not had a chance to stir everything up and once you do all your starches from that pasta it's going to make this spaghetti thicken up so wonderfully it is a perfect consistency and let's just take a second to appreciate this all in one pot seriously we browned our meat we added our sauce we cooked our noodles right in in here no draining oh my goodness I just love a true one pot meal and also the best thing about doing an instant pot spaghetti is it kind of infuses all of that sauce and all those flavors into your noodles a little bit more and you really can tell how flavorful this is if you want to get a little bit fancy do this fancy garlic bread y'all know how I do with my hot dog and my hamburger buns this meal is so good another instant pot staple that I knew I wanted to make were instant pot baked potatoes these take half the time as regular oven baked potatoes and they are just as if not more tender so I'm just doing two russets today I have my trivet in my instant pot I have washed these really well and then I'm just gonna Pierce them with a fork all over you'll see at the end they tried to bust a part on me so I should have pierced them a few more times but that's okay okay and then next you're going to add one cup of cold water that's the trick you want to make sure it's cold water and then we're just going to cook these on high pressure about 16 minutes now of course it's going to depend on how big your potatoes are how long you've cooked them but anywhere from 12 minutes for a small to medium up to 20 minutes if you have a really big one this is going to Natural release and then you have the most perfect baked potato of course you can serve it up just like this or you can add a little bit of olive oil and sea salt pop it in the oven just to un broil for just a few minutes to get that skin crispy but I didn't even do that on this night we just added some butter you can add whatever toppings you want and this is a perfect complement to any weeknight dinner you don't even have to heat up your oven and it takes way less time if you you have not tried an instant pot baked potato that is your homework this week you are going to love it let me know what your
