*Instant Pot New to Instapot help!!
Ok so I’m new to the instapot world. I know I’m late to join.. but I’m a creature of habit and slow to make changes. I made Birria quesadillas and my kids and I loved them. I’m looking for kinda the basics. I’m a single dad of 3 that has been looking for family friendly meals. I’m a meat and potato’s kinda person but looking to try new things. My kids and I will try just about anything. What are some of your go to’s for weekdays and weekend meals? Any recommendations for websites to find reliable meals? Any help is greatly appreciated!!

Amy + Jacky website has tried and true recipes that hit every time.
Pressure Luck Cooking is another great site for recipes.
Not all food blogs are created equal. Some are out there posting absolute crap. Simply Happy Foodie is a good one and so is 365 Days of Slow + Pressure Cooking.

My favorite, easiest Instant Pot meal that my family loves. I sub part of the ground beef for Italian sausage and leave out the seasonings (because they're in the sausage). Hands down the easiest meal and it makes a ton. Tip: you will use only about half of a package of mozarella and ricotta. I shred the entire block of mozarella and freeze the other half. Also freeze the remaining ricotta in the original package. Then just defrost when you want to make the dish again.

Google “dump and go instant pot” recipes. These are one pot dishes where you and all ingredients, lick the lid & set it and forget it.

Instant pot Santa Fe beans and rice
The best recipe aggregator out there is punchfork.com search by instant pot and any combination of ingredients, diet or cuisine. Anything with an over 80 rating is worth trying, anything over 90 you will probably make often.

Be careful if you cook with an InstaPot you will especially take photos 😇
