First Instant Pot Meal
This is my first successful meal in the Instant Pot and we’re so excited about how easy it is that we’ve made it three times in the past week! This is such a classic meal we’ve tried it with smoked sausage and kielbasa, Yukon gold potatoes and sweet potatoes and different types of green beans. The sausage is based on personal preference. We only had a slight preference for smoked sausage. We all agree that we like the sweet potatoes best! The sweet potatoes just add such a great flavor and twist on this classic meal. We prefer frozen Italian cut green beans.
Tips to Make Quick Sausage, Potatoes and Green Beans
- Browning sausage is optional, but browning does add flavor.
- Begin by browning sausage in the instant pot on the saute setting, remove sausage before pressure cooking.
- Cut sausage in half lengthwise and then cut into largest sections that will fit in the Instant Pot .
- Cut potatoes into bite-size pieces so they can cook in 2 minutes
- Use only frozen green beans, avoid canned beans because Instant Pot will obliterate them.
- We like Italian cut green beans because they are bigger, so they can cook together with the potatoes.
- Any kind of liquid will work, but chicken broth adds the most flavor to the potatoes.
Here are a couple other classic meals that are served on our farmhouse table. We hope you enjoy these as much as we do Farmhouse Meatloaf and Creamy Chicken Pasta Casserole.
