Easy Instant Pot and Pressure Cooker Recipes

If you’re looking for delicious and easy Instant Pot and Pressure Cooker recipes, we’ve got you covered! For dinner in a hurry, make some lazy lasagna or try our navy bean soup recipe. Another family favorite is our  Instant Pot beef stew for the ultimate comfort dinner.

By far, my favorite recipes to make in the pressure cooker are side dishes. Pressure cooking steams potatoes and rice for unbelievably light and fluffy results! Try our Instant Pot mashed potatoes (no draining needed!) or brown basmati rice which shortens the cooking time to minutes.
