Instant Pot Beef Stew
An Instant Pot is an amazing gift and I received one for Christmas! Shout out to my sister for knowing me so well and my love for cooking! An Instant Pot is a programmable pressure cooker that essentially speeds up the cooking process while still creating delicious meals. I can create a yummy meal in a matter of minutes, instead of the hours it can sometimes take. While I still love my Crockpot, the Instant Pot brings things to a whole new level. I have tried a few recipes, with the most recent being beef stew. I created this tasty stew in less than an hour. Beef stew in a crockpot can take up to 6 hours or more. The beef and veggies all came out so tender and full of flavor.
