My 10 Budget Recipes roundup proved to be popular, so I’m back at it again with 10 Easy Instapot Recipes.
As you can probably guess, I finally purchased my first Instapot!
We’ve always had a slow cooker. I bought one about ten years ago for a whopping $14, and I’ve used it multiple times a week ever since.
I’ve definitely gotten a ton of value from that small purchase and decided to upgrade to an Instapot since my crockpot was falling apart.
If you’re looking to get your own Instant Pot, I recommend checking out the one I purchased – Instant Pot 3 Qt 6-in-1 Multi- Use Programmable Pressure Cooker, Slow Cooker, Rice Cooker, Sauté, Steamer, and Warmer.
Food is one of the largest expenses a family can have each month, which is why I’m a big believer in, and lover of, weekly meal plans. If you are looking for some new easy Instapot recipes to add to your weekly meal plan, then you’ve come to the right place.
According to the United States Department of Agriculture, the average family of four spends around $700 to $1,000 a month on food. That’s a lot of money, especially considering that most families waste a large amount of their food each month!

All of these best instant pot recipes are in my current meal plan, and I’m excited to make all of them.
Note: If you’re looking for easy weekly meal plans, full of budget recipes, I recommend $5 Meal Plan. $5 Meal Plan is a meal planning service that sends you a delicious meal plan and shopping list every week for just $5 a month.

Miam, all these recipes look really good! Especially the Pizza Pasta and the Cheeseburger macaroni.
This really makes me want to upgrade my rice cooker in a instantpot 😛 The shipping costs are higher than the InstantPot itself to Switzerland :S
Michelle Schroeder-Gardner says
Haha how much is the shipping cost?

I did my best in the wee hours again this morning not to eat any food before going to sleep. I did my cardio again and I’m back on track with eating right and doing the transformation work. Woke up this morning on an empty stomach and I’m considering hitting the gym to do may, just maybe, a few minutes of empty stomach morning cardio. Then decide what I’m going to eat today.
That Banana French toast looks good. I think I saw something similar to that a while back on the iHOP menu. I’m such a succer for their pancakes but I’ve been chilling out on eating iHOP or too much Hibachi food b/c I’m slimming down now. Maybe I’ll double back somewhere in the future and take a closer look @ this post to see if I mac replicate these nice insta-pot recipes you posted. Thanks for the ideas. Happy Friday. 🙂
Michelle Schroeder-Gardner says
Thanks!

I always laugh when I see InstaPot because that’s what it should be called. They REALLY named this product wrong! With how many people and bloggers title it the “instapot”, I say the marketing team failed.
Michelle Schroeder-Gardner says
Haha right?! As I was writing this I realized it wasn’t called “Instapot” so I included both ways of spelling in this blog post in case anyone thought the same way as I did.
Michael says
Oh man now I am hungry! Haha. These recipes look delicious, thanks for sharing Michelle!
Michelle Schroeder-Gardner says
Thanks!

So, I’ve been a long term pressure cook lover, but the size of the electric ones is so big, I gave mine away. I noticed the 3qt instant pot 3 days ago, and I love it !!! I’ve made perfect rice each time, baked potato, soups usually made for a family of four I just cut the recipe in half, maybe mention this in your posts, as an empty nester the size is perfect to leave out OMG I’m very happy. I bought one for my daughter, the 3 qt, and am leaving shortly to deliver to her, perfect for a small family ! I was happy to find your blog and look forward to seeing more 😎 Pizza Pasta is ready, ty, looks great, and I’m on my way 😉
Michelle Schroeder-Gardner says
I have the small one too, and I love it!
Abi says
