roundup of 26 easy instant pot dinners

The kids are headed back to school, so ’tis the season for quick and easy dinners, friends! Y’all know how much I love my pressure cooker, and how much I love easy Instant Pot recipes. Well, I made a list of quick and easy Instant Pot dinners to get us through this crazy busy time.

In the past, we pretty much lived on easy one pot dinners and sheet pan dinners during the first few days of school. And leftovers. Gotta love leftovers!

But the great thing about making dinner in the Instant Pot is that you don’t have to babysit the food or heat up the house. It’s still well over 100 degrees here in the Arizona desert!

So, here are some of my family’s favorite easy Instant Pot dinner recipes. These pressure cooker dinners are mom tested, kid approved and, above all, easy!

Make these easy dinners after work, after sports or school events, during the holiday season or whenever you’re just plain tired. That’s about every day, right?!
