Instant Pot

Using the Instant Pot saves time, energy and works great all year round to make easy family meals!  A smaller appliance doesn’t heat up the kitchen, in the same way, using the oven does either.

In the summer we often make Sausage, Green Beans and Potatoes and Sausage, Peppers and Onions.

Sausage and Sauerkraut and Pork Chops and Sauerkraut are favorites all year around!

I often make Instant Pot Pulled Pork and freeze the leftovers for easy meals on a moment’s notice.  Everyone in the family has a different favorite way to eat pulled pork, so as long as the meat is ready to go people can grab a quick meal on their own when our schedules don’t match up
