Ribs and Gravy – Instant Pot

Ribs and gravy are the easiest, most delicious country-style-tastes-like-home-I-want-to-die-in-this-gravy thing you’ll make in your Instant Pot. And simple! I’m talking explain it to me like a 3 year old simple. Remember not too long ago I shared my boneless BBQ ribs? Well, it’s almost that very same recipe. It was actually born at the very same time on the same day. We did the ribs for that recipe and removed them to a pan to dress it and put it under the broiler. But then we looked in the pot and saw this liquid goodness left in the pot. What…

Instant Pot BBQ Boneless are The Truth! A true dump and go recipe that yields tender, magical goodness!

Boneless BBQ Beef Ribs – Instant Pot

These Instant Pot bbq boneless ribs will quite possibly change your life. Seriously. They are, as my friend said, “The Truth. They should be put in the Bible.” His words, not mine. The wife and I saw these in Costco and we were talking about what we could do with them. After running through plenty of options, like stabbing it with my large skewer sword or marinating them in a lime/cilantro situation, we settled on using the pressure good and hoped it would turn out good. And it was – crazy good. Crazy AF. “This is the The Truth. They…

Instant Pot Southern Green Beans - Delicious southern green beans - tastes like you cooked them on the stove for hours! Bonus points for PIP (pot in pot) rice!

Southern Style Green Beans & PIP Rice – Instant Pot

A long, long time ago my wife and I used to sit around and French cut a bunch of fresh green beans. Then she would cook them down Southern style (what other way is there, really?) with potatoes and she would make a huge pot of rice. It’s always been a favorite of ours, but it’s work dude. Frenching green beans ain’t quick! Cooking those suckers down on the stove ain’t quick! So one day I was bugging her to make some green beans and potatoes and she kept putting me off – too much work blah blah blah. I’m…

Texas de Brazil simply has the best black beans on the planet - and now you can make them at home! Easy, creamy, dreamy black beans!

Texas de Brazil’s Black Beans

Love Texas de Brazil’s creamy, dreamy black beans? I got you! Whip these up in your Instant Pot or on the stove! You guys frequent Texas de Brazil? It’s a Brazilian steakhouse where their goal is to give you the meat sweats. There’s one down the street from me and while the plethora of meat is generally considered the highlight, it’s the black beans that’s served on their salad bar that makes me keep on going back. Unexpected, I know. But those beans are ridiculous! Only the first time I went there did I get the meat situation. It’s too much for me and the wife. Too much food. When you combine that super stocked salad bar and then all…

Spicy Red Lentil Soup

Spicy red lentil soup is both hearty and healthy! I may have mentioned before, we have “days” here on our food schedule. Souper Sunday, Meatless Monday, Taco Tuesday, Wacky Wednesday, Thirsty Thursday, booze OK, (and quite possibly taco Thursday). Friday and Saturday are wild cards, which usually means I’m shooting a video so I’m cooking things that I shouldn’t be. This spicy red lentil soup happened on Souper Sunday. Management and I just basically tossed some things in the Instant Pot and boom! I call it spicy, but if you don’t put the jalapeño, it’s not. We like a little…

Kidney Bean Dal – Rajma

Ramja? Kidney bean dal? Never heard of it? Me either. But that’s what I was served for supper one night by Management. It was so good I wanted to share it with you. What is it rajma? According to my sources, rajma or kidney bean dal is a popular stew in North India. Rajma is normally cooked for hours to create a thick sauce saturated with spices. Cool. I didn’t even know that was gonna be supper. I was pimping out my Weber Kettle and when I came in to clean up, the smell stopped me in my tracks. Not…
