My Magical Instant Pot & No Time Taco Recipe

 

I feel like I need to do an introduction to the magical Instant pot before I start posting recipes and all the amazing things I have made in it. I am sure most of you have heard about this contraption by now. After all it was one of the top selling items on Amazon last Christmas. I have been an instant pot owner for just over a year now. I purchased it on Prime day last summer.

It’s a modern day pressure cooker but with lots of safety built in. This is not you mothers stovetop pressure cooker that everyone is terrified of. I love my Instant Pot and here is why:

  • It’s a time saver (Corn on the cob in 2 minutes!)
  • I can cook lots of things my entire family loves.
  • It is amazing at bringing out the flavors in your food
  • No standing over the stove to watch our food, set it and forget it until the timer beeps

I have cooked everything from meatballs and Sunday gravy, cheesecake, ribs to eggs and a giant pancake in it. I will be posting some of my favorite recipes. There are some great cookbooks on Amazon like this  Instant Pot Cook Book

What is your favorite thing to cook in an Instant Pot if you have one?
