Instant Pot Ground Turkey Stuffed Peppers (INCLUDES VIDEO!!!)

INSTANT POT GROUND TURKEY STUFFED PEPPERS



INGREDIENTS:
Ground Turkey (or ground beef)
Packet of Taco seasoning
Garlic Salt
1/4-1/2 salsa
1/2 bread crumbs (italian or unseasoned)
1 White onion
1 bushel green onions
3-6 garlic cloves (to your liking)

COOKING:


1. Set Trivet that came with your instant pot in the IP, add 1 cup of water

2. Mix Onion, Green onion, ground turkey, taco seasoning, garlic, garlic salt, salsa and bread crumbs in a separate dish.

3. Flip the bell peppers over and poke a hole in the bottom of each of them (I did all 4 "points") with a toothpick to allow for drainage of any fat.

4. Using a spoon or your hands, stuff the ground turkey mixture into the bellpeppers.  Leave a bit of room for expansion- More room if you want to add salsa and/or cheese

5. Once they are stuffed, set your bell peppers in the pot on the trivet.  I covered the top of each pepper with about 1-2 tablespoons of salsa

6. Set IP lid and seal (don't forget to make sure you have your sealing ring in!)

7. Hit the Manual button (or on newer models, the "PRESSURE" button) and MAKE SURE YOUR VENT IS CLOSED!!!!!!

8. Cook on High for 8 minutes (I DID cook them for 15 minutes and the bell peppers were much softer than I wanted them to be) and NPR for 2-3 MINUTES (I DID NPR for 5 in this video, but I think I'd try 2-3 minute)

9. After the 2-3 minutes, release the steam valve with anything but your hand!

10. Optional: If you want to add cheese and broil, its easiest to just remove the whole trivet, set on a cookie sheet and put under the broiler for ~5 minutes.

Instant Pot Egg Bites!

These are my FAVORITE Egg Bite  molds and they are quite useful and make many delicious things in my instant pot!!  I have utilized these to make egg bites, and mini brownies (I have serious lack of self control when it comes to sweets, so these molds are PERFECT!!!).  These molds fit in both the 6qt and the 8qt .  8qt instant pot 6qt instant pot Egg bites CAN be frozen and re-heated!   I usually make 4 molds worth of egg bites and freeze 2 of the 4.  If I remember (ha!!!) I try and pull them out the night before to defrost a bit in the fridge.  If I don't, 2-3 minutes on defrost is all I need to warm them up.  If they are completely defrosted, I usually do 45 seconds in the microwave. HOW DO YOU MAKE THESE DELICIOUS EGG BITES YOU ASK?? Ingredients:  12 eggs beaten 1 package bacon, cut and cooked on stove Green onion Shredded Cheese Directions: 1. Add 1-2 cups of water to your Instant pot 2. Fill molds first with a sprinkle of shredded chee

Instant Pot Mac & Cheese (Video Included!!!)

I've decided I'm going to try and video at least one meal a week made with the Instant Pot , and post it here on the blog. Why?  Because I think this wonderful ol pot can be really intimating the first few times you use it. Mine sat in the box for 6 months. SIX. MONTHS.  So, no judgment here about that.  I only took it out because my friend Karisa came over and cooked with me- taught me the ins and outs.  After that, Once I got the hang of it, I was using it 2-4 times a week and went on to buy an 8qt instant pot (started with the 6qt).  It's really nice to have both, one because we're a family of 7.  But also because I can complete an entire meal (meat, veggies, potatoes of some sort) at one time and it's all done and ready to serve at once. This recipe I used is from the Instant Pot App (which is FREE by the way!!!) One thing I'm going to do differently next time is use the saute feature to melt the butter, then add the chicken broth and the noodles to

Cold Start Yogurt Step by step still Video!

When I bought my instant pot , the LAST thing I EVER thought I'd be making in it was yogurt.  Honestly!  But, now I can't get enough and neither can my kids.  It's money saving (HUGE!) and its delicious! I'm really excited at the moment because Instant Pot is having a big sale on many their products on Amazon and I just ordered myself a few items I've had my eye on such as the vortex , ranging from 50-58% off depending on size!  I also grabbed the Ace plus blender at 40% off.   IP duo nova is currently 30% off, the duo Evo (sous vide model) is 17% off and the Aura Pro is 33-38% off depending on size! I use the cold start method in my 8qt Instant Pot and the following INGREDIENTS: 1. 1.5 gallons of Fairlife WHOLE milk 2. 1 can of sweetened condensed milk (others use 2, I find 1 works perfectly and not as much sugar) 3. 2-3 Large spoonfuls of yogurt starter (plain greek yogrut) **Optional** add 1 Tablespoon of Vanilla PUTTING IT AL
