Bacon Jam – Instant Pot

Well guys, finally, the Instant Pot bacon jam recipe is here. I was scrolling through my drafts a couple of weeks ago and found this gem that I could have sworn I shared, but I guess not! I. love. this. bacon. jam. I put this on all kinds of things. I love it on a grilled cheese. Smeared on a croissant with gruyere, ham and tomato. On a baked potato. Cream cheese, obviously. Burgers, obviously, like the Alabama Bacon Jammer! Stuffed in a pork tenderloin. Toss some in a veggie soup (that really takes it to another level!). I mean,…

Instant Pot Taco Meat – From Fresh or Frozen!

So, tacos. We’re back on that. It’s always the same with me, tacos, tacos, tacos! But this time guys, this is traditional taco meat. Well, American traditional taco meat. You know, ground beef and taco seasoning. Truthfully though, I usually use a mix of beef and chicken, but more on that later. I love this recipe.

So, I always end up bringing home 6 pounds of ground beef or three pounds of ground…

Another Panera copycat soup? Yep. But this is everyone’s favorite, broccoli and cheddar soup – in your Instant Pot or favorite pressure cooker, and it’s dump. and. go. One would think I actually ate at Panera, but no. I never go there. I have eaten there in the past, of course, and get the soup on the side. You know how it goes. And to be honest, their broccoli cheddar soup is rather hit and miss. At least at my locale. Sometimes it’s just perfect cheesy broccoli soup goodness. Other times, it’s a thin watery mess. But then you go…

Wendy’s Chili – Instant Pot

Wendy’s chili has been a go-to item for me since, well forever. As long as I can remember. (Which admittedly, with my memory, may not be as long as one would assume.) I’ve always been completely happy running to the corner to get a large chili and a couple packets of their salty, delicious chili sauce. That was before the wife became a fan. Just in this last year, she’s finally tasted the chili. How can one, in 43 years of life, never had Wendy’s chili? I don’t know, I digress. She got it on the taco salad, which is…
