Have you jumped on the instant pot bandwagon? I have not. I know so many people who love their instant pots. I’m thinking I’ll be putting one on my Christmas list.
If you currently own an instant pot, (or recently got one as a gift) I’ve assembled some delicious recipe from bloggers who use one often. If you don’t have one, check out the recipes and then decide if you want to add one to your wish list. Honestly, I really never knew how versatile an instant pot can be. You can sauté, slow cook, pressure cook, steam and even make yogurt!
So what are you waiting for? Check out the recipes and then tell your friends to come visit the blog.
Appetizers:
Buffalo chicken dip is one of the most popular dips of all time. Hezzi-D’s Books and Cooks version is easily made in the instant pot for those spur-of-the-moment gatherings.
Instant pot caponata, a wonderful eggplant dip, is a delicious appetizer perfect for any gathering with family and friends. This one from The Holy Mess is full of great flavor.
Chicken wings are the perfect game day food. These wings from Savory Tooth are not only tossed in hot sauce but also have a delicious rub for flavor.
Entrees:
Chipotle chicken bowls, from Hezzi-D’s Books and Cooks, made in the instant pot make for an easy weeknight dinner.
Ribs with BBQ sauce from Lemon Blossoms look as if they were prepared on the grill. If you’re pressed for time or the weather doesn’t cooperate, this is a delicious plan B.
With the upcoming holidays, or really any time of year, cooking a turkey breast in the instant pot is a brilliant idea. Cuts the time and frees up your oven! Soulfully Made has the right idea!
Side Dishes:
Easy garlic soy green beans from Cooking with Carlee are a nice addition to many chicken and beef dishes.
Instant pot mashed potatoes are a breeze and really take no time at all. Try this recipe from Palatable Pastime for your upcoming holiday gatherings.
If you’re looking for a more classic green bean dish for the instant pot, try southern style green beans and bacon from Soulfully Made.
Desserts:
Did someone say cheesecake? This pumpkin cheesecake, from A Mom’s Impression, is made in the instant pot and looks creamy and delicious.
Apple crisp is a quintessential fall dessert and this one from 5 Minutes for Mom takes a bit of prep work that will totally be worth the effort.
I always love making banana bread when I have over ripe bananas. A Mom’s Impression makes this instant pot banana bread with a cream cheese icing that’s perfect with coffee.

I enjoy cooking and would love to have one of these pots, I am unable to afford one trying to support my family. I come from a family of 12 children and I kept a lot of my moms recipes, but I have no pot to use for them. I would appreciate my name thrown into the running for one. MY sister treats me to fast foods every now and then and I can't stand eating that garbage anymore. I like my home cook meals. Thank yo for entering my name in the running.

You must have been reading my mind. I was thinking that I need to get my Instant Pot back out soon. Now I have inspiration!
