Pressure Cooker Dinner Recipes

“I’ve made French Dip sandwiches for years in the Crock Pot and it’s been fine. But, now that I have my Instant Pot… well, a lot of you know the feeling of what can I make using the IP. It’s a heck of a lot faster and gives the same results (except the meat is always juicy).” – Marvin

“Using the Instant Pot or any digital pressure cooker makes it super easy to put together and have this soup ready to serve in about 15 minutes. This soup is absolutely delicious served with strips of tortilla, cheese, and avocado. What are you waiting for? Make it today!” – Angie

“This is a super easy, super tasty recipe for barbacoa beef. Once all the ingredients are in the Instant Pot, you can walk away and in just over an hour, you have a flavorful, hearty beef ready for burritos, enchiladas, bowls… you name it!” – Jennifer

“I had just bought a new pressure cooker and wanted something easy to test it. I actually hated mac and cheese since I lived on it for years when I was fairly poor. But I found a simple recipe. I accidentally got ingredients from 2 different recipes in the book though and it was the best mac and cheese I ever ate. I used to make wimpy burgers that were similar to this using just Velveeta and hamburger. Hence the name Wimpy Mac.” – Linda

“This beef is really versatile and can used any way you like. It’s good tortillas but can be used in burritos, nachos, enchiladas, and any type of casserole.” – Debbie

“Pressure cooker pot roast is not only fast and flavorful, it holds together very well unlike a fall-apart roast cooked in a slow cooker. – Tess

“I place all the ingredients in individual bowls and let everyone top their nachos themselves. I set out the shredded nacho chicken, tortilla chips, chopped green onions, chopped cilantro, black beans, shredded cheddar cheese, and sour cream. This chicken is versatile and can be used in other dishes, too. I have used it on salads and rice and in tacos and burritos.” – Amy

“Easy peasy beef stroganoff. Goes a long way and feeds the whole family!” – Sydney

“I got the idea for this from a recipe I saw on the internet. I decided to adapt my recipe for meatloaf and add potatoes as a side dish that can be cooked at the same time as the meatloaf. I had to do some improvising to figure out how to get two meatloaves and the potatoes into the Instant Pot. It worked, and I got great-tasting meatloaf and delightful potatoes for a side dish. This is a combination that I will be using again. It’s good.” – J. White

“My husband, mom, and friends love this chicken I make in my electric pressure cooker! All the flavors mingle and you’re left with a treat for your taste buds. To me, the hero in this recipe is the cheesecloth.” – Susan

“This Instant Pot chili recipe is a family favorite! I utilize the pot as a pressure cooker to develop that all-day simmer flavor, then the slow cooker option for convenience. The star is the fresh-roasted chilis I add to give it an incredible flavor that just dances on your tongue!” – Julie

“I’ve tried many different ways to cook corned beef and this is the ultimate result I’ve been trying to achieve. There is just enough spice and the broth is delicious over the meat and with the vegetables. The roast will easily cut into slices. We saved some for Reuben sandwiches the next day.” – Diana

“On those busy weeknights, cooking a tasty meal in your Instant Pot is a great way to get good food on the table fast. I’m going to share an easy recipe for you to try, Lemon Chicken is one of our family favorites.” – Lori
