Don't have an Instant Pot yet? HAVE NO FEAR!! One Pot Creamy Ziti Recipe is here!! Check it out!
Dump and Start Instant Pot Creamy Ziti is a favorite at my house! I'll be honest, it totally reminds me of Olive Garden's Five Cheese Ziti dish. AKA the only thing I ever get while visiting Olive Garden.

I think I can count on one hand the amount of times I've actually gone to Olive Garden though.. and most of those occasions were for the end of season formal dinner for the high school tennis team. (I was totally JV. All 3 years.)

There are two reasons why we hardly ever choose to go out to eat at Olive Garden. 1. I am cheap. 2. I can make the exact same thing, just as good without having to get dressed. I'd call that a win win.

Also, every single person in my family enjoys this for dinner. That right there is a miracle, people. If you have kids, were a kid a some point or haven't been living under a rock you'll know that is nearly impossible.

How to Make Creamy Ziti

'Dump and Start' are a funny combination of words to be on my favorite word list.. but it's there alright. This dish is so easy! Dump and Start easy. If you like dump and start recipes as much as I do, check out Top 25 Instant Pot Dump and Start Recipes.

Broth, cream, garlic, s&p and pasta go into the Instant Pot. Make sure that the pasta is covered with liquid.

Pressure cook for 6 minutes, NPR for 6 minutes and then QR the rest of the pressure. The sauce will be very liquidy, totally normal.

Turn the Instant Pot onto sauté, then in goes some red pasta sauce.

Slowly add in the parmesan and mozzarella cheeses. This will thicken the sauce nicely for you. Once the sauce has thickened, turn the Instant Pot off and serve immediately.

See, I told you it was easy.

Dump and Start Instant Pot Creamy Ziti is saucy, cheesy and delicious. 20 minutes is all you need to make this creamy red sauce pasta dish!

Ingredients

1 1/2 cup chicken broth

1 cup heavy cream

1 tsp minced garlic dried

salt and pepper to taste

8 oz dry ziti pasta

1 cup red pasta sauce

1 cup parmesan cheese shredded

1/2 cup mozzarella cheese shredded

Instructions

1. Add the broth, cream, garlic, salt, pepper and noodles to the instant pot in that order. DO NOT STIR, but make sure all noodles are covered. If you need to move some noodles around, thats okay.

Serve alongside some Oven Roasted Broccoli!

Ingredients
For the Meatloaf:
YIELDS SERVES 6
INSTANT POT MEATLOAF MASHED POTATOES
2 lb. ground beef (I used a lean ground beef) 1 cup breadcrumbs
2 eggs
1/2 cup onion, diced
2 tsp garlic powder
2 tsp dried parsley
1 tsp salt and pepper
1/2 cup honey bbq sauce
For the Meatloaf Topping:
2 tbsp brown sugar 2 tbsp mustard
1/3 cup ketchup
For the potatoes:
3 lbs. yellow potatoes, washed and quartered 1 cup chicken broth
1 cup half and half
4 tbsp butter
3/4 cup sour cream
1 tsp garlic powder
salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
1. Start by laying the quartered potatoes in the bottom of your pressure cooker in an even layer. Pour the chicken broth over the top. Lay the rack that comes with your pressure cooker over the top so it lays flat.
2. Combine the ingredients for the meatloaf (minus the topping) in a large bowl until fully combined. Shape the meat mixture into a loaf and place on a piece of tinfoil. Shape the tinfoil up and around the edges of the meatloaf, creating a pocket for it. Place the meatloaf on top of the rack in the pressure cooker and secure lid.
3. Ensure that the steam release is closed and turn pressure cooker to Manual mode for 20 to 25 minutes*. Once finished cooking, use the quick release method to let the steam escape. Check meatloaf for internal temperature of 155 degrees.
4. Carefully lift the meatloaf out of the pressure cooker and place on a baking sheet. Mix the ingredients for the topping and brush all over the meatloaf. Place meatloaf under the broiler for just 3 to 4 minutes, until the top is bubbly and caramelized.
5. Meanwhile add the remaining ingredients (half and half, butter, sour cream, garlic powder, salt and pepper) to the instant pot and mash the potatoes until smooth and creamy.
6. Serve the meatloaf in slices with the mashed potatoes. Enjoy!
Notes
UPDATE Some people are finding that 20 minutes is not enough time to fully cook their meatloaf. I use an 8 quart Instant Pot for this recipe and 20 minutes works great. If your IP is smaller, try increasing the time up to 25 minutes. If it's still not cooked in the center, you can finish it in the oven at 350 degrees. Once it's cooked through finish with the topping and broil.

Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Instant Pot Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo: when made in the instant pot, this pasta classic becomes a one pot recipe that couldn't be any easier or more delicious!

Let me tell you about the new love of my life, this Instant Pot Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo.

I seriously love it even more than the one at Olive Garden or the one at the local Italian restaurant.

First, because it is absolutely loaded with the freshest and most simplest of ingredients.

It is truly creamy pasta perfection and I swear the whole family will inhale it and beg you to make it again tomorrow.

The second reason I love it SO much? It seriously could not be any easier to make!

It's a true dump and go dinner recipe in the instant pot. One pot meals are a total Mom Win in my book.

Also, I can make this Instant Pot Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo quicker than I could go pick up take out.

Bonus: it is also much cheaper than you would pay at a restaurant...and it tastes better too!

The key to the spectacular flavor is good ingredients.

Since it's such a simple basic recipe, the ingredients really get a chance to shine.

Make sure you use fresh lemon and garlic. You want to use heavy cream, not half and half.

Yes, I know half and half is less calories/fat, but this is not a dish you make on a diet!!

You also want to make sure you buy a good quality parmesan cheese, the freshly grated kind in the refrigerated section, not the kind in a shaker can.

The last (optional) ingredient is the shredded chicken.

You can make your own shredded chicken or just buy a rotisserie chicken for an easier dinner.

If you are looking for a vegetarian dinner, you can absolutely skip the chicken and use vegetable broth.

Alternatively, you can top the Instant Pot Fettuccine Alfredo with shrimp or steak once it's done cooking!

It's easy to make your own and adapt to whatever leftover meat you already have in the fridge.

I can't wait for all of you to try this recipe for my Instant Pot Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo.

I have been working on this recipe for quite a few months and have had many friends and family test it!

It's a winning recipe and I just know y'all are going to love it as much as we do!

Here's how to make Instant Pot chicken thighs bone in style with a creamy cream cheese sauce your family will love. Easy pressure cooker dinner is done!

I'm back with some more easy Instant Pot recipes this week! This time we have a cream cheese pressure cooker chicken thighs bone in recipe to share with you so you can enjoy the yumminess too.

Chicken is a staple our house and I love Instant Pot chicken thighs bone in pieces because:

They're super cheap

They have so much more natural flavor to them vs. breasts

Chicken thighs are really tender

Of course you can get boneless chicken thighs for either of these easy Instant Pot chicken recipes but I find that they are much more expensive and it isn't really worth the added expense to have the bone removed, but that is totally up to you.

This is what you need to make these Instant Pot chicken thighs bone in or boneless

1. Chicken thighs - bone in timing is shared, if boneless I might decrease timing by 1-2 minutes

2. Chicken stock

3. Cream cheese

4. Fresh spinach

5. Sun dried tomatoes

6. Parmesan

7. Spices

Now there are 3 steps to making the best Instant Pot chicken thighs.

You're going to use the saute function first to get the outside cooked just a bit.

Then you'll use the pressure cooker function to cook your chicken thighs.

When they are done you will pop them into the oven using the broil function to get those skins nice and a bit crispy like you see here above.

Of course you can feel free to skip this last step but I will tell you that 5 minutes will make all the difference in the oohs and ahhhhs you'll get when your thighs are done.

While they're in the broiler you're going to make the sauce right in your pressure cooker......

Pour the cream cheese sauce right on top and serve!!

Another pressure cooker chicken thighs recipe I've made were these Instant Pot spicy teriyaki chicken thighs with the bone in which turned out absolutely amazing.

You can adjust the heat level or just leave the Sriracha out all together in these.

I'd try this recipe next, you'll love them too

I typically serve both dishes with some Instant Pot white rice and it's the perfect meal we say.

After you're through enjoying this easy pressure cooker dinner idea, try these:

This is an easy recipe for a classic sausage breakfast casserole that has been modified for the pressure cooker. This Instant Pot Breakfast casserole is quick and easy to prepare, making this hash brown egg bake perfect for busy mornings.
I love breakfast casseroles.

French Toast Casserole and Hashbrown Breakfast Casserole are two of my family's favorites-and they happen to be two of the more popular recipes with my readers.

The great thing about breakfast casseroles is that they can be prepped ahead of time and baked in the morning for an easy, hearty breakfast perfect for a crowd.

But when using the Instant Pot, a breakfast casserole can be ready in less than 30 minutes from start to finish.

Instant Pot Breakfast Casserole

Hash browns, sausage, eggs and cheese are the stars in this easy gluten free breakfast dish.

This breakfast casserole is hearty, filling, cheesy, and EASY to make.

How To Make Instant Pot Hash Brown Casserole

Step One: Saute Sausage

Turn pressure cooker to saute and let heat.

Add in sausage and cook until browned and cooked through.

Remove cooked breakfast sausage from instant pot.

Add in 1 cup water to inner pan of instant pot and add trivet into pressure cooker.

Step Two: Make Egg Mixture

Whisk together eggs with milk and seasonings until well combined.

Step Three: Layer Breakfast Casserole

Lightly grease an oven safe 6 inch by 4 inch baking dish.

Cover the bottom of the pan with defrosted hash browns.

Sprinkle sausage over hash browns.

Pour eggs over sausage and hash browns.

Sprinkle with cheese.

Step Four: Cook Breakfast Casserole

Tightly cover baking dish with foil.

Place casserole on trivet in pressure cooker.

Cook on High Pressure for 20 minutes, using manual button.

Allow pressure to release manually for 5 minutes and then do a quick release

A Few Notes on Instant Pot Sausage Breakfast Casserole

I like to use Turkey or Chicken Breakfast Sausage for this breakfast casserole, but pork sausage or even cooked bacon is a great option.

It is best for your hash browns to be defrosted for this casserole.

Use any sharp, melting cheese to top this casserole. I think cheddar, Colby, or Swiss are perfect options for this casserole.

Sandy's Instant Pot Beef Stew is rich, delicious, and easy! No browning of the meat required!

Keyword: pressure cooker beef stew recipe

2 cups Beef or Chicken Broth, low sodium

1/2 cup Red Wine, whatever you like to drink (or more broth)

2 1/2 lbs Chuck Roast, cut in 1 1/2 inch cubes

8oz Small Crimini Mushrooms

3 Sprigs Fresh Thyme

1 Sprig Fresh Rosemary

1 Bay Leaf

1. Turn on the pot to the Sauté function.

2. Make sure the stainless inner liner is in the base and add the broth, wine, tomato paste, vinegar, and Worcestershire sauce. Stir well. Let this mixture heat to a low simmer.

3. Add all other ingredients, except for the thickener, to the pot. Stir. *See note about browning the meat.

4. Put the lid on and set the steam release knob to Sealing position.

5. Cancel the Sauté function.

6. Press the Meat/Stew button (should be high pressure for 35 minutes) or the Pressure Cook (Manual) button or dial, and the + or - (or dial) to choose 35 minutes.

7. This is a full pot, and will take several minutes to come to pressure.

8. After cooking cycle ends, let the pressure cooker Naturally Release the steam for 15 minutes.

9. Manually release the remaining pressure. Do this in short bursts as a full release at this point will have the hot stew spewing out of the steam release knob and all over your kitchen (don't ask me how I know this!).

10. Once all steam/pressure is out of the pot and the pin in the lid drops, open the lid carefully, facing it away from you.

11. Use a slotted spoon to transfer Stew, but not the liquid, to a large serving bowl.

12. Press the Sauté button on the pot.

13. Mix the flour and butter together for thickening. You might need to microwave the butter for 5 seconds to soften it.

14. When the liquid starts to simmer, whisk in the thickener and cook a couple of minutes, stirring constantly, until it starts to thicken.

*If you want to brown the meat first, just toss the beef cubes in flour, set the pot to Sauté, add some vegetable oil, and brown all sides of the meat before continuing.

Take a trip down the Italian road with this Instant Pot Pasta Carbonara recipe. Tender pasta, bacon, in a creamy carbonara cream sauce that will knock your socks off. Trust me, you have to give this recipe a try if you are looking for that perfect pasta dish for your Instant Pot.

This pasta dish is a huge favorite in our home. Let me say nothing beats pasta Carbonara in my books! I love cooking Italian foods, and the Instant Pot sure does make my prep even easier. A one pot Instant Pot pasta Carbonara that gives you that authentic Italian flavor in a fraction of the time. I hope you also enjoy my Instant Pot lasagna hamburger helper .

One Pot Instant Pot Pasta Carbonara

Instant Pot Carbonara is well worth the extra calories. If you like authentic Carbonara Sauce you can make it in the Instant Pot without losing any of the flavors. Bacon, Pasta, and Cream should be the main ingredient in every single Instant Pot recipe.

Once you cook your bacon in the instant pot make sure you use that Grease to cook your onions. Do not worry about the raw eggs at the end they cook while mixing from the heat of the pasta. I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as we did. 10 Instant Pot Copy Cat Recipes Is another great source to find more great Instant pot Recipes that you will love.

How Do You Make Pasta Carbonara

I have found that the stove top method vs electric pressure cooker, the pressure cooker wins hands down. I share the full instructions below on how to make my homemade pasta carbonara. The Instant Pot works great at really pressurizing and locking all the flavors together. So you end up with a really savory flavored pasta at the end of this.

Should Carbonara Have Cream

Carbonara should have cream and eggs. That is what gives this such the depth in flavor and a thicker sauce texture. I reach for heavy cream, I find it works best.

Does Carbonara Have Raw Eggs

You will find that the pasta will lightly cook the eggs and it will then become the base of a creamy sauce for the noodles. Many think you are eating raw eggs, but even if you put this dish on the heat to ensure the eggs get cooked through, you will still get a creamy consistency over say scrambled eggs, based on the method of cooking the eggs.

What Pasta Is Best for Carbonara

You can use a spaghetti or linguine noodle for Carbonara. Depending on what I have in my pantry will depend on what I use. Using a thinner noodle like angel hair doesn't work as good in the pressure cooker. I recommend using linguine or spaghetti for sure.

Give my quick and easy Pasta Carbonara a try this week. I think you will enjoy the simplicity of the dish with vibrant and bold layers of flavors.

Easy Chicken and Dumplings can be thrown together in minutes and can cook in either the Instant Pot or Crockpot. Using Cream of Chicken soups and biscuit dough, this meal is no-prep! Perfect for a busy weeknight dinner.

Chicken and Dumplings- The perfect Dump and Start Weeknight Meal

Chicken and dumplings as a meal that I've been making for a long time. This is one of the meals that I always make when we invite someone over for dinner.

Everyone always raves about how delicious it is... But do you want to know a secret? It is honestly the easiest dinner that I could've made.

I love that this meal is fancy enough for Sunday dinner, yet fast enough for a night full of running kids to every corner of the earth!

There is absolutely no prep, just dump and go!

I have always made this meal in the crockpot. Generally, I would start it before we went to church that way dinner would be done and ready to scarf down when we got home.

I have had my Instant Pot for almost a year now, so I figured it was about time to convert the recipe.

Boy, was I glad that I did! I will definitely be cooking this meal in my Instant Pot from now on.

Just in case you haven't hopped on the Instant Pot bandwagon yet, I'll write the crockpot method out for you too.

P.S. I think you should hop on that Instant Pot bandwagon!! ?

How to make Chicken and Dumplings in the Instant Pot

To make chicken and dumplings in the Instant Pot, first cut chicken breasts into 1 inch chunks.

Pour chicken broth into the liner of the Instant Pot. Place the chicken chunks into the broth and then sprinkle with minced dried onion and dried parsley.

Scoop two cans of cream of chicken soup on the top of the chicken chunks. Do not stir.

It is very important to layer food when cooking in the Instant Pot. In order for the Instant Pot to work properly there needs to be a thin liquid on the bottom of the pot.

In this dish, the thin liquid is the chicken broth. The cream of chicken soup is very thick and would burn to the bottom of the liner if the chicken broth was not underneath it.

Now, take canned biscuit dough and cut each biscuit into eight pieces.

Sprinkle the biscuit pieces Into the Instant Pot.

Secure the lid, turn the knob to sealing and cook on Manual HIGH for two minutes. Allow for three minute NPR before quick releasing the pressure manually.

When you open up the lid you will see that all of the biscuit dough has expanded and cooked.

Give the Instant Pot a good stir to mix up the dumplings, chicken and sauce.

Dinner is now ready to be served! Can you believe how easy that was?

How to make Chicken and Dumplings in the Crockpot

To make the chicken and dumplings in a crockpot, pour broth, cream of chicken soup, chicken chunks, parsley and minced onion into the crockpot.

Cook on HIGH for 3-4 hours, or until the chicken is cooked through.

Once the chicken is cooked through, add in the cut up biscuit dough and cook for an additional 30 minutes on HIGH.

Stir and serve.

Step-by-Step Instant Pot Chocolate Lava Cake Guide

Here are the ingredients for Instant Pot Lava Cake:

Make Lava Cake with Cocoa Powder?

For our first experiment, we used a combination of Bittersweet Chocolate + Cocoa Powder. The result was too rich and dense, so we decided to omit the cocoa powder in our final Instant Pot Lava Cake Recipe.

Which Chocolate to Use for Lava Cake in Instant Pot?

We experimented our lava cake recipe with 3.5oz (100g) Lindt 70% Cacao Dark Chocolate bar & 4 oz (113g) Hershey's 70% chocolate chunks. They both worked fine. 🙂

Melt Chocolate and Unsalted Butter

Melt 3.5oz - 4oz (100g - 113g) 70% cacao dark chocolate with ½ cup (125g) unsalted butter.

*Pro Tip: You can use the double boiler method or the microwave (30 seconds interval & mix).

Make Egg Mixture

In a large mixing bowl, add 2 large eggs, 2 large egg yolks, ¼ cup (52g) granulated sugar, and a pinch of salt.

Mix ingredients for 1 minute with a hand mixer using medium speed.

Make Chocolate Lava Cake Mixture

Slowly pour in and mix the chocolate-butter mixture with the egg mixture.

*Pro Tips: The chocolate-butter mixture can be hot, so you don't want to pour them all in at once and cook the eggs. A spatula will work great for this.

Add ½ tsp (2.5ml) vanilla extract.

Then sift in 1 tbsp (9g) all-purpose flour.

Mix everything together with a spatula until everything is well mixed.

Pressure Cook Chocolate Lava Cake

If you are planning to remove the Instant Pot Cakes from the ramekins to serve, spray the ramekins with cooking spray.

*Pro Tip: If you're serving the Instant Pot Cakes with the ramekins (more convenient & less messy to eat), skip spraying the ramekins with cooking spray.

Carefully pour the chocolate lava cake mixture into 4 x 6oz-ramekins.

Then tap the ramekins against the counter a few times to remove air bubbles.

Add 1 cup (250ml) cold water in Instant Pot.

Place trivet in Instant Pot, then stack the ramekins on top.

Close lid and pressure cook at High Pressure for 7 - 9 minutes + Quick Release
*Pressure Cooking Times:

For Thicker Pyrex Glass Ramekins: High Pressure 8 - 9 minutes + Quick Release

For Standard Ramekins: High Pressure 7 minutes + Quick Release

Turn Venting Knob to Venting position to quickly release the pressure.

Carefully open the lid (avoid dripping the condensation on the lava cakes!)

Serve Instant Pot Chocolate Lava Cake

Quickly place the ramekins on a cooling rack, then serve immediately once the ramekins are cooled to touch.

*Pro Tip: The Instant Pot Lava Cake will continue to cook while resting, so it's best to serve them as soon as possible! And I mean, who can resist not diving in right away?! hehe~ 😛

Sift powdered sugar on the Instant Pot Lava Cake, then decorate it with a strawberry.

You can also serve with a scoop (or more) of your favorite ice-cream!

Serve your showstopping choco lava cakes immediately 🙂

Dive in & enjoy every exciting bite of your Luxurious Instant Pot Chocolate Lava Cake!~ 🙂

No more frozen chicken nuggets on busy nights. You can literally dump a few ingredients in the pot, turn it on and have a great hot homemade meal in minutes.

Since I love recipes with potatoes, one of my new favorites is this 10 Minute Instant Pot Potato Soup. It takes about 10 minutes for your Instant Pot to heat up, but once it gets going, it's only 10 minutes until your soup is ready to eat!

Not only is it super simple, but also gluten free. Eat this delicious soup alone, with crackers or pair it with your favorite sandwich.

Freezing this Potato Soup for Later

This recipe was made for an 8 qt Instant Pot, so it does make a large amount of soup. I've been asked if left over Baked Potato Soup can be stored in the freezer and I don't see why not?

If you plan to freeze this soup, I would recommend cutting the potatoes into larger chunks and freezing a portion immediately after cooking. The longer the potatoes are in the liquid, they tend to turn into mashed potatoes. Add more broth if this happens and it will still taste amazing and be less thick.

Instant Pot Shrimp and Grits

Shrimp and grits is a traditional southern recipe originating from both Native American and West African roots. It has always been a staple in the south, but actually began becoming popular in the 1980's after The New York Times included the recipe for a North Carolina chef's shrimp and cheese grits in an article about preserving southern recipes. By the 90's, shrimp and grits was appearing as a dinner entrée option in fine dining restaurants. And here we are in 2018... with Instant Pot Shrimp and Grits. What a great time to be alive!

Spicy or Mild?

Shrimp and grits is a versatile dish with a wide range of styles and flavors. Our Instant Pot shrimp and grits recipe combines both cajun- and southern-style shrimp and grits. Spicy creole seasoning and andouille sausage add a good amount of heat to the shrimp and sauce. They pair perfectly with traditional, southern-style, creamy grits to help balance the spiciness. While you could adjust the heat by replacing the creole seasoning with a milder seasoning, such as Old Bay, I highly recommend embracing the heat!

Do I need to use large shrimp?

I enjoy serving this dish as an entrée so, in my opinion, the larger the shrimp the better. The smallest shrimp I'd recommend using are "large shrimp," aka 21/25 shrimp - meaning 21 to 25 per pound. However, I used a much larger shrimp (12/15 per pound). But really, you can use any size shrimp you choose. It's just that using larger shrimp results in more satisfying, big, meaty bites of shrimp. But again, that's just personal preference. There is no wrong shrimp to use.

My husband loves shrimp, and he requested a shrimp dish, and that is how this Instant Pot bang bang shrimp pasta dish was created. I wanted something with pasta and he craved shrimp. Instant Pot Bang Bang Shrimp Pasta with bang bang sauce is seriously one of my favorite sauces, and it soaks into the pasta, and when you have a piece of shrimp, pasta, all covered in the sauce, it feels like fireworks go off in your mouth. You get that little kick of heat with a nice tang, that seriously just works perfectly. If you have never hand bang bang shrimp, try it, you are totally missing out. Add in the pasta like I did, and you will just upgrade the wow factor of this dish.

So I have been asked how spicy this dish is because a lot of people can't take much heat. It does have some heat and a kick but it isn't super overwhelming like hot and spicy dishes I have had. You can also use less Sriracha and crush peppers to lower the heat, and then if you feel it needs more add it in and stir and then try it. Truly it is a wonderful dish, and with how fast it can cook up, you will truly be in hog heaven if you like pasta and shrimp! It is a creamy spicy shrimp and pasta dish that is highly addictive and satisfying. How Spicy Is Bang Bang Shrimp Pasta

This Bang Bang Shrimp Pasta Dish is Banging!

I use my Instant Pot at least three times a week, and I get asked why. If you look at this dish, it takes just 4 minutes to cook, that is incredible! If I did this on the stove top and oven it could take around 20-30 minutes. Plus with the Instant Pot it really helps keep the moisture in the food, so I don't have to worry about opening my Instant Pot to dried up shrimp, they are cooked to perfection and it soaks up all the flavors of the spices.

Since I started using my Instant Pot we have had more flavorful dishes, that are cooked incredibly fast, and it makes me and my family happy. Even people who are a bit challenged in the kitchen have found that the Instant Pot allows them to cook meals that are delicious and not burnt! I have so many incredible recipes on my site you should give a try. It truly is a magic pot, it does pretty much everything.

There is no greater comfort food than this Instant Pot Cubed steak and gravy. It falls apart tender, extra juicy, and the gravy is something to swoon over. Serve it up with some Instant Pot Garlic Mashed Potatoes and you have a meal fit for a king!

But, I can't stop there, this dish can be made in just 10 minutes with the help if your magic pot, I mean instant pot! That is right, once again the instant pot swoops in to make dinner a breeze, Bon Appetite!

I grew up eating cubed steak covered in a gravy, as chicken fried steak, and just pan fried. The one thing I remember is you never knew how tender the meat would be.

Depending on how you cook cubed steak, or how tenderized it is will allows change your end result. But when you toss it in the instant pot, it heats it with steam which helps break down the meat and really tenderizes it like crazy. So that you can easily just cut your meat with a fork.

When you allow the instant pot to natural release for five minutes is where the magic happens. This helps tremendously in tenderizing your meat, that is a trick I learned early on. I use it for most of my dishes that might have a bit of a tougher meat.

Once you make Instant Pot Cubed Steak and Gravy, I promise you won't go back to stovetop or oven methods. You can't get the same tenderness and juicy flavors without the instant pot. Plus this dinner is super affordable, so if you are a tight budget, this is one dinner I recommend. I think every family has had hard times and you have to get creative with meals so that you can afford it. This is pretty affordable, especially if you buy your cube steak on sale.

Ingredients for Tuscan Chicken Pasta

Low-sodium chicken broth

Sun dried tomatoes in oil

Italian seasoning

Garlic

Chicken breasts

Campanelle pasta

Baby spinach

Light cream cheese (regular works too)

Parmesan

Fresh basil

Salt and pepper

How to Make this Pasta Recipe

First you'll start by stirring together the chicken broth, sun dried tomatoes, Italian seasoning, garlic, salt and pepper in an instant pot insert.

Then mix in diced raw chicken and dry uncooked noodles. Cover and seal, make sure valve is set to "sealing" position. Set to "manual" and select 5 minutes.

Once time is up select "cancel" then use the quick release method to release pressure. Wait for steaming to stop from valve then open Instant Pot.

Stir in spinach, cream cheese and parmesan. Then let mixture rest for about 5 - 10 minutes.

The sauce will be very runny at first but the longer you let it rest the more it will thicken and become creamy.

Substitutes for this Tuscan Chicken Pasta Recipe

Frozen thawed and drained spinach can replace fresh.

Regular cream cheese will work in place of light.

If you can't find campanelle pasta you could substitute another kind of bite size pasta such as cavatappi, bowtie or penne.

Garlic powder could replace fresh, I'd go with about 3/4 tsp.

If you don't want to buy fresh basil then use 1 tsp dried, add it along with Italian seasoning.

Instant Pot Creamy Tuscan Chicken Pasta

* Percent Daily Values are based on a 2000 calorie diet.

1/2 cup oil packed sun dried tomatoes with herbs, drained and dab excess oil off with paper towels, chopped

Salt and freshly ground black pepper

1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes

1 (8 oz) pkg. light cream cheese, cut into cubes and softened

1 cup finely shredded parmesan cheese (use fresh shredded)

In an instant pot insert stir together broth, tomatoes, Italian seasoning, garlic, 1/4 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp pepper (season with more at the end if needed).

Stir in chicken and pasta (and try to submerge down into broth).

Secure the lid in place, be sure pressure valve is set to "sealing" position. Select the "manual" setting or high pressure and set to 5 minutes.

After the time is up select "cancel" then use the quick release method to release pressure - which is to carefully turn the valve to "venting" position and step back as steam will release.

Once it stops sputtering open lid and immediately stir noodles to separate then stir in spinach, light cream cheese and parmesan.

Toss well. Let rest for about 5 - 10 minutes to thicken (it will seem like soup at first but as it rests and cools it will thicken right up).

Toss in basil just before serving and serve warm (you can also garnish with a few diced sun dried tomatoes if desired).

Instant Pot Bacon Barbecue Meatloaf with Mashed Potatoes

Usually meatloaf is one of those meals that is pretty neutral for me. I don't love it and I don't hate it. Today that is no longer the case. I LOVE meatloaf. More specifically I love this instant pot bacon barbecue meatloaf with mashed potatoes. The flavor was absolutely delicious and my whole family scarfed it down in like 2.2 seconds. We all wished that I had made more!

You need to make this recipe this week for dinner. The reasons?

1. It has bacon in it and the bacon gives the meatloaf an amazing flavor.

2. You can make mashed potatoes and meatloaf at the same time, in the same pot, in 20 minutes.

3. The consistency of the meatloaf is perfect. It's not mushy, it's not dry.

4. Mashed potatoes are delicious and these garlic mashed potatoes are the only kind I make these days.

I know you'll love this meatloaf! Promise.

Here is a video of my daughter, Reagan, making this meatloaf. Summer project!

This simple Zuppa Toscana can be made so easily in the Instant Pot or Slow Cooker! This soup also has a creamy dairy-free option making it Paleo and Whole30 approved. *Note that this post has been updated with new photos!!
I'm Insta pottin my way through my January Whole30. I am absolutely determined to make this Whole30 super tasty and easy. Zuppa Toscana is an Italian Soup that has become famous from The Olive Garden. I must admit that I actually never tried it there before, so I can't compare! But I can assure you that my variation is super yummy!

I love soup as a filling meal. With the addition of potatoes, kale, Italian sausage, and some dried herbs, this soup was a huge hit for everyone in the family. Full of flavor and texture! Because of the Instant Pot, this soup can be made super fast for a busy weeknight meal.

So far I've made this soup twice this past week. Once for dinner, and once to save a pot for us to enjoy as a grab and go lunch. It re-heats really well and tastes better even the next day. I will give a little caveat on this soup (because inevitably someone will ask me).......

I did use coconut milk to give the soup a creamy texture. When I experimented with adding in a full cup, there was a pretty strong coconut taste. With only a half cup, the taste was really mild and added great flavor. If you have an aversion to anything coconut, I would probably recommend omitting it altogether. Some dishes I make creamy with coconut milk are completely unnoticeable, but this one you will be able to taste it. If you are not following a dairy-free diet, feel free to add in half and half or heavy cream. Maybe even sprinkle some fresh parmesan on top! My kids enjoy theirs with the parmesan.

Here is the thing, I don't do difficult. I want to have dinner and lunch options that give my family flavor, nutrients and appeal to our taste buds. If a recipe is too complicated, I don't really do them. I like to make easy meals that anyone can make.

The beauty of the Instant Pot is it does the work for you. Toss your ingredients in, set the time and wait. It will cook your meal to perfection each and every time.

Instant Pot Cajun Chicken with Shrimp & Sausage is a Breeze To Make

The only way your dish won't turn out is if you didn't follow the directions or have a good seal on your Instant Pot.

Make sure it is locked tight, you have the right settings and you will have an award-winning dish each and every time. Whether it is a dessert, side or main dish like this.

I seriously use my Instant Pot numerous times a week. The more I use it the more I get used to it, learn new tricks, and get even more comfortable with it. If you are a bit nervous, just keep trying recipes and soon you will really be comfortable with how it works.

Can you see that creamy factor from this picture? I know it looks amazing here, but in real life, it tastes even better. I top it with some fresh parmesan and herbs to add even more flavor to each bite.

We used to make this exact recipe on the stove top, and I will never take that route again. I can make this in a fraction of the time with my Instant Pot and it comes out even better. The pressure when it cooks truly locks in those flavors that you are wanting.

Serve this up on a busy weeknight dinner, weekend, or even for lunch. The leftovers taste great as well, you truly can't go wrong with this soulful dish.

Instant Pot Peach Dump Cake is an easy summer dessert recipe that you make in the pressure cooker with just 4 ingredients in only 30 minutes!

You could say I'm slightly obsessed with easy Instant Pot recipes right now. I have loads of Instant Pot dinner recipes here on Meatloaf and Melodrama and a few side dishes. So, I guess it's about time to add a few Instant Pot desserts to the mix!

This peach dump cake is an easy Instant Pot dessert recipe that is basically a peach cobbler or peach crisp, only it's way easier! I guess you could call this a no bake dessert because you only use the oven to broil it for about 5 minutes in the end. And, that part is optional!

At first, I was wary of making desserts in the Instant Pot. So I experimented with one of our favorite easy dessert recipes - Easy Peach Cake. You guys, this Instant Pot dump cake is the bomb! And one of the best things about this easy Instant Pot cake is that you don't need to heat up your house in the summer to enjoy it!

How to make peach dump cake in the Instant Pot pressure cooker

One reason why it took my so long to attempt making Instant Pot desserts was that I didn't have any cake pans that fit in the Instant Pot. Yes, I really need to order some on Amazon, but in the meantime, I just decided to use one of my oven-safe Corningware casserole dishes.

You can use any oven-safe cake pan that will fit in your Instant Pot to make this peach cake. I used my 6 quart pressure cooker for this recipe, so my 1.5 quart dish ( 6.5 inches ) fit perfectly.

To make the cake, all you do is grease the pan, and add 2 cans of sliced peaches. We cut the peach slices in half, but this is optional. Next, sprinkle in some cinnamon for extra flavor!

Then, you add about half a bag of yellow cake mix directly on top of the peaches and swirl the cake mix lightly so that some of the dry mix gets mixed with the peach juice.

Add some pats of butter evenly over the cake mix. When it melts, it's form a rich, buttery crust.

Now, it's time to bake the cake in the Instant Pot!

Add water and the trivet to the pot, and place the cake pan on the trivet. You'll need to place a small square of foil over the pan to prevent water from dripping all over the cake. I forgot to do this once, and the crust was good, but not as crisp and firm as I wanted.

I found that cooking the dump cake for 25 minutes with a 5 minute natural release was perfect!

To make the crust extra golden and delicious, I popped the cake under the broiler for about 5 minutes. It's not required, but I definitely recommend it!

Let the cake cool slightly, then dig in! A scoop of vanilla ice cream on top makes this delicious pressure cooker peach dump cake even better!

Can you make this cake in the slow cooker?

Definitely! You can make this slow cooker peach cobbler recipe, but the amounts are slightly different.

Can you use a different fruit filling?

You can use cherry pie filling and make Instant Pot cherry dump cake or apple pie filling or apple slices for Instant Pot apple dump cake. These are next on my list!

Instant Pot Lasagna

My husband, Paul makes a fantastic lasagna! He adds spinach, mushrooms, and other good stuff to it. His recipe makes a huge pan of it, and it lasts us for days! I wanted to make some in my Instant Pot electric Pressure Cooker, and see if it would turn out as good as his. And would it be any faster?

Well, he doesn't cook his noodles, so I didn't want to cook mine, either. I found some no-boil noodles that work perfectly (regular lasagna noodles worked as well, but the results were best when I soaked them first in very hot water for 15 minutes.).

He does a lot of chopping, and I wanted an Instant Pot Lasagna recipe where I could get good flavor without so much chopping. I turned to my pantry for some seasonings. Garlic powder, onion powder, and a few others did the trick! Saved some time there.

I decided to use my favorite jarred marinara sauce in this pressure cooker lasagna. When I have it, I use my homemade Instant Pot Marinara Sauce. Perfect! The Instant Pot Lasagna was coming together nicely! Here's a summary of how I made it:

How To Make Lasagna in an Instant Pot Pressure Cooker

1. Spray a 7″x3″ springform pan with cooking spray.

2. Layer uncooked noodles in the bottom.

3. Layer sauce, meat, and cheese mixture.

4. Repeat layers two more times.

5. Cover with a piece of sprayed foil, set on a trivet with handles (or use a sling) and put it in the pot.

6. Pressure cook and let it naturally release for 10-15 minutes.

7. Broil the top of your Instant Pot Lasagna to brown the cheese.

* Gather all of the ingredients and kitchen tools you will need.
* Cook the Meat with some seasonings so it isn't bland.
* Prepare the cheese mixture.

* In a 7″x3″ springform or push pan, start the layering with the no-boil noodles, which you will need to break apart to fit the shape of the pan.
* Next, layer 1/3 of the sauce, 1/2 of the meat, then 1/2 of the cheese mixture, and the spinach (optional).
* Start again with another layer of noodles, 1/3 sauce, 1/2 of the meat, 1/2 cheese mixture.
* Then noodles, sauce, and top cheese layer.

* Cover with a piece of sprayed foil, set on a trivet with handles (or use a sling) and put it in the pot. Set the cook time and let it naturally release for 10-15 minutes after pressure cooking.
* Broil the top of your Instant Pot Lasagna to brown the cheese*.

*Broiling is an optional step, and you can brown the cheese as much as you like.

This is what a foil sling looks like, if you need to use one. Take a 24 inch length of foil and fold it over 3 times the long way. You will have a sling that is 3″x24″.

1. Set pot to Sauté and add the beef, sausage, salt, pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning. Cook, stirring, until the meat is cooked.

2. Remove meat, drain, and set aside. Clean out pot and add 1 1/2 cups water to it.

In a mixing bowl combine the ricotta, egg, mozzarella, parmesan, garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, oregano, salt, pepper, and parsley. Use a fork to mix thoroughly. Set aside.

1. In a 7" x 3" or 6"x3" springform or push pan, make a layer of the no-boil noodles by breaking them and fitting them like a mosaic to cover the bottom of the pan.

2. Spread 1/3 of the pasta sauce over the noodles, covering them all.

3. Spread 1/2 of the meat mixture over the sauce evenly.

4. Spread 1/2 of the cheese mixture evenly over the meat.

5. Sprinkle the spinach (if using) over the cheese mixture evenly.

6. Add another layer of noodles, press down on them a little.

7. Add another layer of 1/3 of the sauce.

8. Add the second half of the meat.

9. Add the second half of the cheese mixture.

10. Add another layer of noodles, the last 1/3 of sauce, 1/2 cup of mozzarella, and 1/2 cup of parmesan.

11. Spray a piece of foil with nonstick spray and lightly cover the pan with the foil, enough that water can't get in.

12. Set the pan on a trivet with handles and lift them into the inner pot that has 1 1/2 cups of water in it. You can also use a sling to set the pan on the trivet in the pot.

13. Close the lid and lock in place. Turn the steam release knob to the Sealing position.

14. Press the Pressure Cook or Manual button (or dial) and choose 22 minutes. It will take about 5 minutes or so for the pot to come to pressure.

15. When the cook cycle has ended, let the pot sit undisturbed for 10-15 minutes (10-15 minute Natural Release). Then, turn the knob to the Venting position to release any remaining steam.

16. When the pin in the lid drops down, open the lid. Use silicone mitts, sling, or good pot holders that can get wet to lift the rack with the hot pan out of the pot to a cooling rack. Be VERY careful as it could slip off the rack.

17. Carefully remove the foil. Turn on your broiler to 450° with the oven rack in the middle to top 1/3 position in the oven.

18. Set the pan on the oven rack and let the cheese on top brown to your desired amount. Watch it closely as it doesn't take very long. Every oven is different!

19. Let the lasagna rest for a few minutes before releasing from the pan. This will help it maintain its shape and cool down just a bit.

20. Carefully (pan and lasagna very hot) release the lasagna from the springform pan while it is on a plate.

21. If you used a push pan, set a large can of soup or veggies on a plate and set the push pan on top of the can. gently, and carefully push the sides of the pan straight down. Wear oven mitts or some kind of hand protection. The pan and the lasagna will be very hot.

Then slide another plate under the lasagna. You might need to use a spatula to help slide it over.

22. Serve with salad and some crusty bread!

This recipe works best in a 7"x3" springform or push pan. It will not fit in a 2" deep pan.
