Instant Pot Roast & Potatoes

Instant pot Roast & Potatoes



This is such an easy recipe to throw together.

Ingredients:
A couple pound beef roast (I bought some at Costco and cut each in half and put them in food saver bags in the freezer, this was the perfect size for one meal for the two of us)
4 medium size russet potatoes (we ended up having leftovers of these but they're easy to carry over to another meal)
1 can of beef broth
1 tablespoon dijon mustard
1 tablespoon worcestershire sauce
Brown Gravy packet
Salt
Pepper
Garlic Powder
Onion Powder
Cumin
Turmeric
Olive Oil

Directions:
Peel, rince, and halve your potatoes (depending on size maybe quarter them).
Mix beef broth, mustard, worcestershire sauce, gravy packet, and spices together in bowl.
Turn instant pot to Saute mode, throw some olive oil in and brown the roast on each side.
Once its browned flip the sauté mode off and add potatoes and sauce mixture.
Turn instant pot to 90 minutes and cook.
Once the timer goes off let it natural release.
Remove lid and serve.
I love to use the juices left in the instant pot as a gravy for the roast and potatoes.

This is definitely a recipe that can be changed up but I like to keep the cooking time at at least 90 minutes, that will still work as well if you have the instant pot full if you have a larger roast and more veggies in.

I didn't have any carrots or onions but I usually add those as well when they're on hand. I tend to go pretty heavy with the seasonings in the juice but you can add as little or as much as you like. 

Let me know in the comments you're favorite way to cook a roast, I'm always looking for new idea's or seasoning to try!

Homemade Taco Seasoning

The other day I whipped up another batch of homemade taco seasoning that I’ve been making for years so I thought I would share it with you. It’s super easy, last a long time, and doesn’t have any of the icky preservatives, etc. Here’s the ingredients, 1/2 cup chili powder 3 Tablespoons cumin 1 Tablespoon salt 1 Tablespoon finely ground pepper 1 Tablespoon paprika 2 teaspoons garlic powder 2 teaspoons onion powder 2 teaspoons dried oregano Mix it all together and you’re good to go! To use, brown 1lb. hamburger,  then add 2 Tablespoons of the taco seasoning mix plus 1/3 cup water and simmer until liquid has thickened, about 1-2 minutes. I hope you enjoy! 

Instant Pot Spaghetti

Instant Pot Spaghetti  Start by turning your instant pot to the sauté function, adding some olive oil and then once the screen says HOT add your hamburger and brown.  All of the spices I used. Once the hamburger is browned Turn the instant pot off. Once I turned the instant pot off I added the noodles, crisscrossing the noodles so they don't clump. Next I added the spaghetti sauce, water, and spices.  Then set the instant pot to manual for 10 minutes and did natural release. And finished product!  I turned the instant pot off, put the lid back on and let it cool a little once I mixed everything together. I used this for freezer meals. I was able to get 7 1 1/2 cup servings. I let these cool and then put them in the fridge and waited to put them in the freezer until the next day so it was completely cooled. Ingredients: Olive Oil 1 lb hamburger 2 jars pasta sauce 1 16oz box angel hair noodles 1 cup + 1 jar of Wa
