Make these Easy Instant Pot Recipes from Pantry Staples using canned foods, frozen food and other ingredients you have stocked up at home!
A well-stocked pantry can save you time and money when you need to get dinner on the table. If you’re looking for Instant Pot recipes that use canned, frozen and dry ingredients, I’ve got some ideas for you.
I have pressure cooker recipes with chicken breasts, smoked sausage, ground sausage and ground beef. All you need to add are ingredients from your pantry fridge or freezer. I even have a simple tuna casserole recipe!
Fresh is best, but I tried to keep the fresh ingredients to a minimum here. I did include some recipes that use a little cheese and/or sour cream.
