Storage

This is best served warm and fresh from the oven. But, you can store the leftover lemon cakes in the fridge for 2-3 days. Just wrap well in foil, or place in an airtight container.

Then eat them cold, or warm them up in the microwave. You will find that the lava cake will not be as liquidy in the center once it is cooled off. But, it will still be a delicious lemon dessert in terms of flavor.

Expert Tips

Add in extra lemon zest for more tangy flavor.
Use quality white chocolate as it will be a stand out flavor.
Make sure to not overbake the dessert or it will make the center set and not ooey gooey.
Just remember that depending on the size of your ramekins, the cook time will vary.

Recipe FAQs

4 Ingredient Air Fryer Crispy Tortellini Recipe

Kelsey — Tue, 03 Mar 2026 16:35:00 +0000

If you love crunchy snacks and pasta, this Air Fryer Crispy Tortellini is about to become your new favorite go-to recipe. Instead of boiling and serving tortellini the usual way, we’re breading and air frying these little pasta pillows until they’re golden, crisp, and irresistibly crunchy on the outside while staying soft and cheesy on the inside — all with far less oil than traditional frying.

Fried tortellini is delicious, but I wanted to eliminate the oil and create a “healthier” version to my favorite snack, appetizer, or even lunch option. Also, try my crunchy tortilla chips made in the air fryer. Serve with pizza sauce, marinara, or eat the seasoned tortellini alone.

Place on a serving platter with some crisp vegetables, and your favorite dipping sauce, and serve up as a party appetizer. Or drizzle with a little sauce or olive oil and dive in.

Try out my Instant Pot Rigatoni for another delicious pasta dinner idea. This is made with Italian sausage and a creamy marinara sauce mixture.

Delicious

Ingredients and Variations

Tortellini – You can use fresh refrigerator tortellini or frozen for this recipe. I used classic cheese-stuffed tortellini, but feel free to buy whatever tortellini you want.

Bread Crumbs – I used seasoned bread crumbs to minimize the number of ingredients. But you can swap for plain and add in your favorite seasonings. Italian seasoning is another option to add to plain bread crumbs.

Egg – This is the wet mixture you will dip the pasta in, then dredge in the bread crumbs.

Oil – I used avocado oil to spritz the tortellini with. This will help to provide that golden crust you want.

Marinara – OPTIONAL but delicious.

Here is a visual walkthrough on how to make crispy air-fried tortellini. The full directions and ingredient measurements are in the printable recipe card at the bottom of the post.

How to Make

Here is a visual walk through on how to make air fryer crispy tortellini. The full directions and measurements of ingredients are in the printable recipe card at the bottom of the post.

Step One: Preheat your air fryer as directed. I recommend preheating for 5 minutes to ensure the air fryer is nice and hot.

Step Two: Whisk eggs and place in a bowl, bread crumbs in another bowl and then work on dredging.

Step Three: Dip each tortellini pasta in the egg, followed by bread crumbs. Place in air fryer basket or tray.

Step Four: Air Fry, and spritz with oil if needed to help create a golden crust on the outside. I flip half way through the cook time and spritz the other side of the pasta.

Skip the fried appetizers and try this crispy tortellini recipe using your air fryer.

Garnish with fresh basil, parsley, additional seasoning, or even additional parmesan cheese sprinkled on top. I find a pop of fresh herbs helps to add color.

Pro Tips For Success

Place your tortellini in a single layer in your basket or air-fryer tray. Otherwise, they will not cook evenly.
Shake off excess egg and bread crumbs, making sure it isn’t too heavily coated, it can make a mess.
Place an air fryer parchment liner to help prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
Air fry in batches if you want to make extra. Then keep the extras warm in the oven at 200 degrees, placed in a single layer on a lined baking sheet.

Storing Leftovers

Refrigerate: You can store any tortellini you don’t eat in the fridge for 3-5 days. They will become softer in texture once cooled down. But to get a crispy texture again, you can warm them back up in the air fryer for a few minutes.

Freezing: Feel free to freeze any of your tortellini for up to 3 months. Just place in a freezer bag or container that is freezer-approved. Thaw in the fridge and reheat or warm up straight from the freezer.

RECIPE FAQs

A few common questions for this air fryer tortellini recipe.

What is the best tortellini to use for fried tortellini?

For making fried tortellini I recommend using refrigerated tortellini. You can find this is the dairy aisle by the butter. You are welcome to use frozen tortellini, but I find the breading can come off easier.

What goes well with tortellini?

You can pair your tortellini with a side salad and garlic bread, or use it as an appetizer. Or serve it with other appetizers for a party.

How to cook frozen tortellini for air fried tortellini?

You can use frozen tortellini to make fried tortellini. Cook till al dente as directed on the package. Then make sure to drain the pasta really well or the breading will come off.

Can I bake in oven instead of air frying?

Go right ahead and make this recipe the same except place in a lined baking sheet and bake at 375 degrees and bake for 10 minutes. Flip over and bake for an additional 10 minutes or until nice and crispy. I still spray with oil this helps give it that golden color.

How do I make my air fryer crispy?

Spritzing food with cooking spray or an oil of your choice is going to give any food you cook a very crispy texture. Adding extra time to the cooking process can also help the food become crispier as well.

Remove the air fryer crispy tortellini and eat with marinara sauce or plain. These fried tortellini are great for serving as a snack, appetizer, or dinner.

Notes

Tortellini – any flavor or brand of tortellini works for this recipe. We used a cheese tortellini.

Breadcrumbs – I used seasoned breadcrumbs but you can swap with plain and add your own seasonings to make your own flavor. You can also use panko breadcrumbs if you prefer.

Single layer – Make sure to cook your pasta in a single layer or it will give you an uneven cook.

Instant Pot Lemon Poppy Seed Cake (with Video)

Kelsey — Tue, 03 Mar 2026 07:38:00 +0000

Instant Pot Lemon Poppy Seed Cake is the ULTIMATE Instant Pot Cake. If you are a fan of lemon you will swoon over this bright and citrus filled lemon cake that is bursting with flavor.

Instant Pot Lemon Poppy Seed Cake

Instant Pot lemon cake is one recipe I was dying to make. While I couldn’t find a recipe, I decided to create my own. This pressure cooker lemon cake is one you will make over and over again. Instant pot desserts are one of my favorite things to cook in my Instant Pot!

Here are more lemon recipes

Moist Lemon Cake

Skip the lemon cake mix, and whip up a cake that is vibrant and full of lemon citrus flavor in each bite. This Instant Pot cake is super moist! Granted it is a thinner cake, but you could always make two cakes and make it a layered cake.

It packs tons of flavor, so I am fine with it being smaller. I used confectioner’s sugar and a couple of tablespoons of lemon juice to achieve the perfect lemon flavor, and I skipped the classic frosting on this cake.

Can I Make Cake In My Instant Pot

I hear this a lot, and the answer is yes! You can make a cake in your Instant Pot.

I will share how I made this recipe below, but also you can check out my Instant Pot Nutella Cake or my Instant pot chocolate cake as well!

What Is The Cake Setting On Instant Pot

I used the classic High-Pressure setting for making my cake in the Instant Pot. I baked this lemon cake for 25 minutes, then let it sit for 15 minutes with a natural release. Follow the cooking time, and make sure you seal your Instant Pot properly so it comes to pressure and cooks the cake.

You can easily grab a bundt cake and turn it into an Instant Pot lemon bundt cake, which will offer stunning presentation.

How To Make Instant Pot Lemon Poppy Seed Cake

Start by lining your Instant Pot Cake Pan with a piece of parchment paper on the bottom along with spritzing with cooking spray.

Then you will mix up your dry ingredients in one bowl, and mix wet ingredients in another. Incorporate the two, and then pour into a cake pan, and then pour 1/2 cup water into your pot.

Add your silicone sling and set the cake in, and seal and cook on high pressure for 25 minutes with a natural release for 15 minutes.

Allow to cool then mix up your lemon glaze and pour over the top of the cake!

Tools Helpful And Needed For Lemon Poppy Seed Cake

6 or 8 quart Instant Pot or pressure cooker
Silicone Sling
7-inch cake pan
lemon zester
citrus press

Lemon Glaze For Lemon Poppy Seed Cake

I wanted to create a simple 2-ingredient lemon glaze. Powdered sugar and lemon juice are what you will use.

Create a creamy base, and then pour it over your decadent lemon poppyseed cake! It adds even more lemon flavor in each bite.

I added a bit of lemon zest on top for a pop of color and more lemon flavor.

How To Store Lemon Poppy Seed Cake With Lemon Glaze

You will want to store your leftover lemon cake with the lemon glaze in the fridge.

Your cake will store for 3-5 days. Of course, this cake-like any other flavor is best when served within the first few days.

If you don’t want to make the lemon glaze you are more than welcome to keep it off if you prefer.

🥗 Quick Meal Prep Tips for Keto Diets

Meal prepping on a keto diet doesn’t have to be complicated. These simple tips will help you save time, stay on track, and make the most of your Instant Pot:

Batch-cook proteins: Use your Instant Pot to cook large portions of keto staples like shredded chicken, beef roast, or pork shoulder. Store in airtight containers for easy meals all week.
Prep low-carb veggies ahead of time: Chop cauliflower, zucchini, broccoli, and peppers in advance so they’re ready to toss into quick Instant Pot meals.
Freeze keto-friendly meals: Many keto Instant Pot recipes freeze well. Soups, stews, and casseroles can be stored for up to 3 months.
Use portion control: Divide meals into single-serve containers to make tracking macros easier.
Keep keto sauces on hand: Prep sugar-free sauces like Alfredo, garlic butter, or keto taco seasoning to instantly boost flavor without added carbs.

Meal prepping keto Instant Pot recipes helps reduce decision fatigue and keeps you consistent with your low-carb lifestyle.

🧂 Ingredient Swaps for Keto Cooking

Missing an ingredient? No problem. These keto-friendly substitutions keep your recipes low-carb without sacrificing flavor:

No almond flour?
Swap with coconut flour (use ¼ the amount, as it’s more absorbent) or crushed pork rinds for savory recipes.
Heavy cream substitute:
Use full-fat coconut cream or cream cheese thinned with water or broth.
Rice replacement:
Use cauliflower rice or broccoli rice in soups and casseroles.
Pasta substitute:
Try zucchini noodles, spaghetti squash, or shirataki noodles.
Sweetener swaps:
Use monk fruit, erythritol, or stevia instead of sugar (check conversion ratios).

These easy keto ingredient swaps make Instant Pot recipes more flexible and beginner-friendly.

How to Make Pasta E Fagioli Soup In Instant Pot

Cook sausage and onions in Instant Pot. Cook until browned and fully cooked.
Toss in the garlic and Italian seasoning and cook for another minute or until fragrant.
Pour in chicken stock and scrape the bottom of the Instant Pot. Then toss in your beans, pasta, parmesan rind, red pepper flakes, salt and pepper.
Place lid on Instant Pot, cook 4 minutes on high pressure followed by a quick release.
Remove lid and stir in the chopped kale and heavy cream. Let sit for 2-3 minutes to wilt the kale a bit.
Serve with grated cheese and more red pepper flakes if you want.

Full directions and measurements for recipe are in the recipe card below.

Slow Cooker / Crock Pot Version (Set-and-Forget Comfort)

(Good for when you don’t have Instant Pot — or want to prep ahead.)

Sauté sausage, onion, garlic, and seasoning on the stove; then transfer to the slow cooker with broth, beans, parmesan rind, and seasonings. Cook on low 6–8 hours. About 30 minutes before serving, stir in pasta, kale and cream (or half-and-half).
This method creates deeper flavors from slow simmering — ideal for busy days when you want dinner waiting.

Easy Variations & Substitutions

Swap Italian sausage for ground pork, beef, chicken sausage, or go vegetarian (use veggie-friendly sausage or skip meat entirely).
Use kidney beans or a mix of beans for extra variety.
Swap chicken stock with vegetable or beef broth, depending on your taste or dietary preference.
For a tomato-rich version: add a can of diced tomatoes (drain or keep juices), or stir in a splash of crushed tomatoes. (This isn’t in the original — but many “Pasta e Fagioli” versions include tomatoes, which gives another flavor dimension.)
Lighter cream option: use half-and-half, whole milk, or omit altogether — the beans and broth keep it satisfying.

Storage, Reheating, and Meal Prep

Storage & reheating tips: After cooking and cooling, store in an airtight container. Keeps 3–4 days in fridge, or freeze for up to 2–3 months. When reheating, add a splash of broth or water, reheat gently, and whisk if cream has separated. (Many competitors skip or briefly mention storage — giving more detail can help your post stand out.)

Meal-prep guidance: This soup freezes well in individual portions — perfect for busy professionals, college students or empty nesters. Just thaw overnight or reheat gently on stove/microwave.

Recipe FAQs for Instant Pot Pasta Fagioli

How many calories in pasta Fagioli?

For this particular recipe, it has 497 calories for 6 servings. If you want to make your serving size smaller to reduce the calories go right ahead.

Can I make this soup ahead and freeze for later?

Yes — once cooled, transfer to freezer-safe containers or bags, leaving a little headspace for expansion. For best texture, freeze before adding cream; when reheating, add cream (or a splash of milk) fresh, whisking to combine.

Can you freeze pasta e Fagioli?

You can freeze this soup. With the heavy cream, it can curdle a bit, but if you whisk well once thawed it should be okay. Store in an airtight container or freezer bag. Just remember the soup will expand as it freezes.

What can I substitute for ditalini pasta?

You can use any small pasta in replace of the ditalini pasta. This soup is known for this pasta but you are more than welcome t change it up for what you can get near you.

Is there a lighter, lower-calorie version of this recipe?

Absolutely. Swap heavy cream for half-and-half or whole milk (or omit altogether), and consider using turkey sausage or lean ground meat. You can also add extra beans or vegetables (like carrots or celery) to keep volume while reducing fat/calories.

Pressure cooker ribs are so popular. With minimal work on your end, you can have ribs that are tender, juicy, and full of flavor.

I used my popular dry rub recipe, which you allow to marinade the pork to help add more flavor to the ribs.

Why You’ll Love It

Plus, you’ll get that beloved barbecue flavor even without firing up the smoker or spending all afternoon at the grill.

Tender – These are fork-tender ribs that fall right off the bone. It is a must-try recipe to help speed up the cooking time of ribs.

Flavorful – Now, these are not like ribs you cook on the grill. They are going to have a bit of a different flavor, but broiling in the oven after creates a sticky glaze on the outside which makes them insanely good.

Easy To Make – Simple and easy to make, with no significant steps. The most important step is prepping your pork ribs by trimming the fat.

Ingredients You Will Need

Pork Dry Rub – Now I used my own pork dry rib rub. You are welcome to buy a rub or make mine. My homemade pork rub has brown sugar, salt, pepper, chili powder, dry mustard, etc. The full ingredient list and measurements are below.

Ribs – I used spare pork ribs. You can swap with any cut of ribs you have.

Apple Cider Vinegar – Here is what will help tenderize your ribs but also add a nice tangy flavor to the meat.

Liquid Smoke – Liquid smoke is going to help give the ribs a smoky flavor without tossing it on the grill.

BBQ Sauce – We used a Kansas City blend BBQ sauce, but feel free to use any flavor of sauce you want.

What To Use for Dry Rub Ribs

brown sugar
pepper
kosher salt
garlic powder
onion powder
chili powder
dry mustard
smoked paprika

This pork dry rub is great for these ribs or even a rib roast that you smoke. Then you use apple cider vinegar, liquid smoke, and water in the Instant Pot.

You can tenderize the meat with apple cider vinegar, and the liquid smoke helps to add a bit more flavoring to the ribs.

They are not as good as smoked ribs, but they are pretty close.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Start by working on your dry rub, and then set it aside. You will use this on your rack of ribs.
Now trim and prep your pork. You can see how I prepped in the video. I worked on cutting fat, and pulled the silver skin off (removed the membrane) from the back of the ribs.

Rub your dry rub on both sides of the ribs. Then wrap and allow to marinate for an hour in the fridge.
Pour your water, apple cider vinegar, and liquid smoke into the Instant Pot. Then add in your trivet, place ribs, and pressure cook!

Once the ribs are done, remove them, baste them with BBQ sauce, and then air fry or broil your BBQ ribs!

Slice and serve up these sticky barbecue ribs. Instant Pot pork ribs are a game-changer!

Storing Leftovers

Store your leftover ribs in the fridge for a few days. Then, when you want to eat, eat cold or place it in the microwave to reheat.

If you want you can also cover in aluminum foil and then wrap tight and reheat in the oven! Heat till it is warm.

What to Serve With BBQ Pork Ribs

For a full bbq evening, don’t forget a crisp cold brew (or lemonade) and maybe skip the heavy sides and go with something light and bright to balance the rich ribs.

FAQs

What are spare ribs?

Spare ribs are one of the cuts of popular pork ribs. You will hear spare ribs, St. Louis Style Ribs, or baby back ribs are the most popular.u003cbru003eSpare ribs are a larger piece of meat. It is cut off the rib on the belly side. Pork spare ribs will have a slab of tender pork meat along with the bone area. It does have a flap of meat on the backside that you slice off as it will overcook.

Will this recipe work with baby back ribs instead of spare ribs?

You can use this exact recipe with baby back ribs, you just adjust the cooking time. Spare ribs take a bit longer to cook than baby back ribs in the pressure cooker.u003cbru003ePair these ribs withu003ca href=u0022https://bakemesomesugar.com/zucchini-cornbread/u0022u003e zucchini cornbreadu003c/au003e, it is a dynamite duo.

Why are my ribs tough in the Instant Pot?

Sometimes if you buy too large of ribs, they can’t break down enough in the pressure cooker. Aim for 1-3 pounds of pork ribs at most in your pressure cooker or Ninja Foodi.

Is it better to slow cook or pressure cook ribs?

Pressure cooking ribs helps to give your ribs a quick cook while leaving your ribs nice and tender. Then broil at the end for a sticky barbecue sauce coating. Slow cooking can make your ribs fall apart and the flavor lacks a bit.

Should ribs fall off the bone?

When grilling ribs you do not want your ribs to fall off the bone. If that happens it means they were cooked too long. Pressure cooking ribs on high pressure can lead to fall off the bone ribs. They will be moist and flavorful, but also very tender.

Can I cook two racks of ribs at once in the Instant Pot?

Yes — but you’ll want to check that both racks fit without overcrowding (so they steam properly). If you double the meat you might need to increase the liquid slightly and ensure natural release time is enough to finish tenderizing.

What if I don’t have a broiler or air-fryer to finish the ribs?

No problem: After pressure-cooking, you can brush the ribs with sauce, place them on a foil-lined baking sheet, and bake at 450 °F (232 °C) for about 5-8 minutes until the sauce bubbles and caramelizes. Keep a close eye so it doesn’t burn.

Instant Pot Spare Ribs

These Instant Pot Spare Ribs come out fall-off-the-bone tender in under an hour! Pressure-cooked with a smoky dry rub and finished with a sweet-sticky BBQ glaze, they’re the perfect balance of flavor and ease. Great for weeknight dinners or backyard-style gatherings — no grill required!

Ingredients

Pork Dry Rub

1/4 cup brown sugar
1 1/2 teaspoon pepper
1 1/2 teaspoon coarse kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
2 teaspoon smoked paprika

Instant Pot

1 1/2 cup water
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
3-5 drops of liquid smoke
1/2 cup bbq sauce
1 Rack of Spare ribs can do up to 2

Instructions

Start by making your dry up. In a bowl add your brown sugar, pepper, salt, smoked paprika, chili powder, dry mustard, onion powder, garlic powder. Mix and set aside.
Now you will prep your spare ribs. Remove excess fat, cut off the membrane on the backside of ribs, and cut off the excess flap on ribs on back as well.
Once ribs are prepped you will use part of the rub on one side and then flip and massage the other part of rib rub on the other side of ribs. Wrap and then marinate in the fridge for up to an hour.
When ready to cook place the metal trivet in the Instant Pot, add in 1 1/2 cup water, 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar, and 3-5 drops of liquid smoke.
Put your ribs in meat facing out, so the bones will face inward. Try to set them up on the metal rack. Mine spare ribs were a bit too big so I did have to push them in the water a bit.
Place Instant Pot lid on in sealing position making sure the valve is closed.
Pressure cook 35 minutes with a natural release of 15 minutes.
Remove ribs from the pressure cooker, and place on air fryer rack in duo crisp or a pan to broil in the oven.
Baste ribs with barbecue sauce, and then air fry to make sauce sticky or toss in the oven on broil. This takes just a couple of minutes to do.
Remove, slice, and serve these Instant Pot bbq pork ribs. I sprinkled mine with parsley and served.

Notes

Baby Back Rib Directions: If you are cooking baby back ribs – pressure cook for 5 minutes with a 15-minute natural release.

Seasoning Ribs – You truly can use any flavor of dry rub you would like. Feel free to make your own or buy a rub if you don’t want to use the one I made above.

Broiling Ribs – At the end I broil the ribs after I smear on some sauce, this is going to create a sticky glaze on the pressure cooked pork ribs. Otherwise, they will lack a bit of flavor and texture.

I will walk you through how to make this Ninja Foodi corned beef! You will cook your corned beef for so long and then add in your veggies and get them perfectly cooked.

If you have leftovers try my pizza Reuben rolls! They are so delicious to make and kid-friendly. Or with your leftovers try my Rueben recipe.

Why make this corned beef in Ninja Foodi…

Time-Saving: The Ninja Foodi is a multi-functional kitchen appliance that combines the functions of a pressure cooker, air fryer, and slow cooker, which allows you to cook corned beef in less time than traditional methods. The pressure cooking function of the Ninja Foodi can cook the beef brisket in a fraction of the time it would take to cook in a slow cooker or on the stovetop.

Even Cooking: The Ninja Foodi cooks food evenly, thanks to its unique heating and ventilation system. This means that the corned beef will be cooked evenly throughout, with no hot or cold spots.

Convenience: The Ninja Foodi is a versatile kitchen appliance that can be used to cook a variety of dishes. This means that you can use it to cook the corned beef brisket and other side dishes at the same time, which makes it a convenient option for busy families or those who want to save time in the kitchen.

Flavorful: The pressure cooking function of the Ninja Foodi helps to seal in the flavors and juices of the corned beef brisket, resulting in a tender and flavorful dish. Additionally, the air frying function can be used to crisp up the top of the corned beef, adding a delicious crunchy texture to the dish.

Ingredients Needed

Chicken Stock: The chicken stock adds richness and depth of flavor to the dish, which enhances the overall taste of the corned beef brisket.
Balsamic Vinegar: The balsamic vinegar provides a tangy and slightly sweet taste, which complements the saltiness of the corned beef and balances the overall flavor of the dish.
Onion and Garlic: The onion and garlic add a savory flavor and aroma to the dish, which enhances the taste of the beef and adds depth to the flavor.
Thyme and Bay Leaves: Thyme and bay leaves are aromatic herbs that provide a unique flavor to the dish. They also help to balance the richness of the beef and add a layer of complexity to the overall flavor.
Gold Baby Potatoes: The gold baby potatoes add a nice texture to the dish and help to soak up the flavors of the other ingredients. They also provide a natural sweetness that complements the savory flavors of the dish.
Carrots: Carrots add a sweet and earthy flavor to the dish, which complements the beef and provides a contrasting texture to the other ingredients.
Green Cabbage: The green cabbage adds a fresh and crisp flavor to the dish, which helps to balance the overall richness and heaviness of the other ingredients.
Brown Sugar: Brown sugar adds a subtle sweetness to the dish, which balances the other flavors and enhances the natural sweetness of the vegetables.
Dijon Mustard: Dijon mustard adds a tangy and slightly spicy flavor to the dish, which helps to cut through the richness of the beef and adds a layer of complexity to the overall flavor. It also helps to balance the sweetness of the brown sugar.

How to Make

Full directions on how to make this Ninja Foodi corned beef and cabbage are in the printable recipe card at the bottom of the post.

Start by placing the corned beef in the Ninja Foodi, fat side down. Then you will add in the seasoning packet that came with the corned beef.
Pour in the stock, vinegar, onion, garlic, thyme and the bay leaves. Place the lid on the Ninja, and make sure the valve is set to sealing.
Select manual pressure cook and set the time for 1 hour and 15 minutes. Press the start/stop button to start cooking. Once the time is up, allow it to naturally release pressure for 10 minutes, then do a quick release to push off extra pressure.
Now you will open the lid and remove the brisket, and the garlic and bay leaves.
Add the yellow or red potatoes, carrots, and cabbage to the Ninja Foodi pot with the liquid. Place the lid on the Ninja and set the valve to sealing.
Pressure cook for 3 minutes, and quickly release when done.
For the glaze, you will mix the brown sugar and water in a pan, on medium-high heat. Once it boils, stir in the mustard and let it cook for 2-3 minutes to reduce to a thicker texture.
Place corned beef on top of the vegetables once the veggies are done. Then pour the glaze over the brisket.
Get the crisping lid and place it on top, and then use the air crisp feature for 400 degrees for 20 minutes.

Expert Tip: Let the brisket rest for 15 minutes once it is done, and cut against the grain. If you don’t do this you will get long fibrous strands that will make your meat tough to eat. Serve with the cabbage, carrots, and potatoes.

Storing Leftovers

Refrigerate

If you have leftovers you will be able to store the corned beef and the veggies in the fridge for 3-4 days. You will find the cabbage is best eaten right away.

As it cools and is stored in the fridge it becomes even soggier. We tend to throw away any cabbage we don’t eat that night.

Freezing

Yes, you can freeze corned beef and cabbage. However, it’s important to keep in mind that the texture of the vegetables may change after freezing and thawing, and they may become a bit mushy.

To freeze corned beef and cabbage, first, let the dish cool down to room temperature. Then, transfer it to an airtight container or a freezer bag, making sure to remove as much air as possible. Label the container with the date and contents, and place it in the freezer.

When you’re ready to eat the frozen corned beef and cabbage, thaw it in the refrigerator for several hours or overnight. You can reheat the dish in the oven or on the stovetop, stirring occasionally until it’s heated through. It’s important to ensure that the dish reaches an internal temperature of at least 165°F (74°C) to ensure food safety.

FAQs

Can I cook the corned beef and cabbage all at once?

You will start by cooking your corned beef first, then after so long you will add in your veggies and cook them.
If you cooked the vegetables as long as you do the corned beef you would end up with mush.

What cut of meat do you buy for corned beef?

Because you are cooking in the Ninja Foodi you can reach for either cut of brisket. Flat or Point they both are great. Since you pressure cook it becomes extremely tender and juicy.

What is the best way to slice brisket?

You want to cut against the grain when you slice corned beef. Brisket is one of the toughest meat, and you want to ensure it is tender by slicing correctly.

What is the difference between a natural release and a quick release?

Natural release is where when the cooking time on the pressure cooker is done, you allow it to sit, and the pressure inside will slowly release on its own. This takes around 10-20 minutes depending on what is inside. A quick release is where you take a wooden spoon and press the valve to force the pressure (steam) out of the pressure cooker and open the lid quickly. When you work with an electric pressure cooker a natural release is typical for meats to help make a tough cut of meat tenderize. Then it will be fork tender. Whereas if you quick release it can leave the meat dry and tough.

I put a glaze on corned beef to add incredible texture and flavor. Dijon Mustard, brown sugar, and water are all you need to get that rich crust that is so flavorful.

Ingredients

4 to 5 pounds corned beef brisket with seasoning packet
1 cup chicken stock
¼ cup balsamic vinegar
1 onion diced
7 cloves garlic peeled
½ teaspoon dried thyme leaves
3 bay leaves
1 ½ pounds gold baby potatoes scrubbed
1 pound carrots peeled and cut into large pieces
1 head green cabbage cored and cut in wedges

For glaze, if desired:

½ cup light brown sugar packed
½ cup water
1/2 cup dijon mustard

Instructions

Place brisket in the cooker pot with the fat-side down. Add seasoning packet, stock, balsamic vinegar, onion, garlic, thyme, and bay leaves.
Cover the cooker with lid and set the valve to sealing.
Set the electric pressure cooker to manual or “pressure cook” for 1 hour and 15 minutes or 75 minutes. Press start/stop to begin the cooking cycle. Once the cycle is complete, allow the pressure to naturally release for 10 minutes before quick release.
Remove the brisket from the cooker and keep warm. Also remove the
garlic and bay leaves.
Add the potatoes, carrots, and cabbage to the pot with the liquid. Cover the cooker with lid and set the valve to sealing.
Set the electric pressure cooker to manual or “pressure cook” for 3 minutes. Press start/stop to begin the cooking cycle. Once the cycle is complete, quick release the pressure.
To make the glaze: In a small saucepan, heat the brown sugar and water over medium-high heat until it comes to a boil. Stir in the mustard and continue cooking until the sauce is reduced, about 2 to 3 minutes.
Place the corned beef brisket over the vegetables and pour the glaze over the corned beef. Replace the crisping lid and set the Air Crisp function to 400 degrees. Cook for 20 minutes.
Remove brisket and allow to rest for 15 minutes prior to slicing.
To serve, slice brisket against the grain. Serve with vegetables and
mustard, if desired..

Notes

Storing Leftovers – The corned beef and veggies will store for 3-4 days. You will find the cabbage is best eaten fresh, I tend to throw out any cabbage we don't eat, as it is very soggy.

Glaze – You do not have to do the crisping lid step with the glaze. You can leave off the mustard glaze on your corned beef if you prefer.

Are you making these common Instant Pot mistakes? If you are new to the pressure cooker life, make sure to read this post as well.

Equipment

What To Serve With Rigatoni

Crisp Green Salad
Garlic Pull-Apart Rolls
Garlic Bread or Breadsticks
Vegetable side dish

You can eat this alone or pair with a side or two. We generally do a salad and breadsticks or pull-apart rolls.

How To Make

Full steps are in the printable recipe card. This is a visual walk through on how it is made. Scroll to bottom of post for the recipe card.

Start by turning your Instant Pot to Saute, and cooking up your sausage. Add in the onions to the mixture, and cook to soften the onions.

Once cooked, pour the water or beef broth into the Instant Pot. Use a wooden spoon to scrape the bottom of the pot. This is needed to remove stuck on bits to prevent the burn notice.

Add in the seasonings, and then top with pasta. Press the pasta into the water and then pour the marinara sauce over the top. Do not stir at this point.

Place the lid on the Instant Pot. Turn nozzle to sealed and then pressure cook 4 minutes, with a quick release of pressure.

Once done, stir in the heavy cream, and add in the cheese. Top with additional cheese and fresh basil.

How To Make Into A Freezer Meal

How to Make Instant Pot Rigatoni Freezer Meal

Add your cooked sausage and cooked onion into a freezer bag.

Now add in your pasta sauce, seasonings and seal up the bag. Freeze for up to three months.

When ready to cook, place the frozen mix in Instant Pot.

Add pasta in, and cover with beef broth or water. Make sure all the pasta is covered in liquid. You will use around 3-4 cups of broth.

Cook on high pressure sealed for 4 minutes, with a quick release of pressure.

Open the lid and pour in the cheese and then fresh basil or fresh parsley, and serve.

Storage Of Leftovers

Refrigerate any leftovers you have for up to three days. Place the leftover pasta in an airtight container. Then when you want to eat warm in the microwave or on the stovetop.

If you freeze any leftovers, just know the pasta can soften once reheated. But it will still taste really good.

Variations To Recipe

Ground beef, ground turkey, or ground chicken in replace of sausage.
Use pasta sauce instead of marina sauce
Fresh parsley instead of basil
Use chicken broth instead for added flavor.
Use 2 fresh garlic cloves minced, add in once the meat is almost cooked.
Swap cheese out with what you want, slice of goat cheese, ricotta cheese, etc.
Sprinkle with red pepper flakes for spice factor.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you overcook pasta in Instant Pot?

You can overcook pasta in Instant Pot. That is why you want to cook for 4-5 minutes depending on the preference of the pasta you like. For more al dente do four minutes. For more tender pasta do five minutes.

What if sauce is not thick?

Because you need a thinner liquid when pressure cooking you might want the sauce to be thicker. All you have to do is either add more sauce to it or turn the Instant Pot to saute mode and let it simmer for a few minutes. Stir often to prevent burning. As it cooks it will release some of the excess liquid.

Do You Eat Rice Pudding Hot Or Cold

You can eat rice pudding hot or cold. It is all about your personal preference. We love to pair with a cinnamon stick and some whole milk for thinning it out a bit if you don’t want it as thick.

We tend to eat it warm when it is first cooked, and then toss it in the fridge for later. Then when we spoon it out once chilled, we just eat it cold.

Recipe FAQs

What Type Of Rice To Use For Rice Pudding?

White long-grain rice is great for making Instant Pot rice pudding. Rinsing the rice first will help to remove excess starch, and not clump or mush up as it cooks. Alternatives are arborio rice or medium to long grain rice. White rice is easy to cook with in the pressure cooker, and offers a mild flavor so it isn’t overpowering to the rice pudding.

Do You Quick Release Rice Pudding When Pressure Cooking?

Natural release the rice pudding for 10 minutes after the timer goes off. You will see an L010 on our Instant Pot screen. You can then release any pressure left in your pressure cooker. When the pin drops to release the steam and un-lock the lid.

Do I Have To Add Raisins To This Pressure Cooker Rice Pudding?

Rice pudding tastes great with or without raisins. Feel free to leave out raisins if you are not a big fan, or add extra in if you enjoy them. As the raisins cook they will plump up and soak up the flavor as well, which is incredible.

Can I Use Almond Milk In Replace Of Milk In Rice Pudding?

Feel free to use lactose-free milk, almond milk or even coconut milk in replace of the white milk in the recipe. I think any of the substitutes will cook just the same.

Notes

Stovetop Directions For Cream Cheese

In a heavy pot pan, you are going to pour your milk and the heavy cream in (med-high heat) and bring it to a rolling simmer. Make sure to stir constantly.
Reduce the heat to medium and then pour in the white distilled vinegar. Do 1 tablespoon at a time when you pour it in.
The cheese mixture will begin to curdle at this point, that is what you want to see. Stir continuously, until greenish liquid is on the bottom and you have larger curds on top.
Line your fine mesh strainer with the cheesecloth and pour the mixture into the strainer. It will catch all the cheese curds.
Allow the mixture to drain for about 5 minutes, then transfer the cheese to a blender, and mix 2-3 minutes till creamy!

Lemon Juice – You can use lemon juice in replace of vinegar, but it will alter the texture. Your curds will be smaller in size.
Salt is optional. you can add up to a 1/4 teaspoon to flavor.
Add in herbs or spices to season your cream cheese, or even whip up with fresh fruit.

This Turkey Breast Instant Pot Recipe Is…

Naturally Gluten Free
Easy To Make
Juicy
Flavorful
Instant Pot Or Ninja Foodi Turkey Breast Recipe
Minimal Prep Work

Ingredients Needed

Turkey Breast – I did use a skin on and bone in turkey breast for this recipe.

Water – You could also use a broth instead of water for added flavoring.

Salt and Pepper – to taste

Butter – Salted or unsalted works

Oil

Chili Powder – Adds a nice kick of flavor to the turkey meat.

Poultry Seasoning – This worked great but you are welcome to swap it out with your own seasoning mix.

Tips For Making Turkey In Instant Pot

You do need to sear the turkey skin before pressure cooking, otherwise the skin will not have the right texture. It will be rubbery, and not cooked the way you want.

Make sure to allow 10-15 minutes for the pressure cooker to come to pressure before it begins cooking. Many forget to factor that in with the cooking time.

Depending on the size of your turkey, the cook time will vary slightly.

Save back the liquid to use as a broth for a future recipe, or have it be the base to a gravy. If you plan to make into a gravy I recommend a chicken or vegetable stock, not water used.

How to Make

Full directions on how to make Instant Pot turkey breast is in the printable recipe card at the bottom of the post. This is a visual walk through on how to make.

Step One: Start by adding oil into the Instant Pot and select the saute feature, and let it heat up.

Step Two: While the oil is heating up, seasoning your turkey breast. Rub the whole breast with butter, and then season with salt, pepper, poultry seasoning and chili powder. Coat all sides.

Step Three: Place the breast skin side down in the Instant Pot. Sear 3-4 minutes on both sides.

Step Four: Next turn off the saute feature, and pour your water in. Then deglaze the pan with a wooden spoon.

Step Five: Place your trivet in the Instant Pot. Next place the turkey breast on top of the trivet so it is not submerged in the water.

Step Six: Next you will secure on the lid, and make sure the valve is set to sealing. Pressure cook on the poultry setting for 7 minutes per pound of turkey. So I did 14 minutes for my 2 pound turkey breast.

Step Seven: Next allow the Instant Pot to naturally release pressure for 10 minutes. Then release off any extra pressure and open the Instant Pot.

Step Eight: You can broil your turkey breast in the oven for 1-2 minutes to crisp the skin more if you would like. Or slice and serve as is.

Storing Turkey Leftover

Feel free to store any leftover turkey in an airtight container or bag. Then you can use the leftover meat for making sandwiches, tossing in casseroles, or simply reheating and eating as leftovers.

The turkey will store for 3-4 days in the fridge when stored at the proper temperature.

In terms of freezing it can freeze for 3-5 months. You can freeze in a freezer bag, vacuum sealed bag or container. Then thaw in the fridge overnight when you want to use it.

FAQs

Here are some frequently asked questions when cooking this pressure cooker turkey breast recipe.

How can I tell if my turkey breast is cooked?

You will want to use an internal thermometer and poke into the largest part of the turkey breast, making sure to not touch the bone. The bone will read a higher temperature and give a false reading. The internal temperature of a turkey breast needs to read 170 degrees F in the breast. Or if you are cooking a whole turkey it needs to read 180 degrees F in the thigh.

How long does it take per pound to cook a turkey breast?

For this instant pot turkey recipe you will want to cook your turkey 7 minutes per pound of meat. So if your breast is 2 pounds you will cook for 14 minutes, or a 3 pound breast will cook for 21 minutes.

Is it okay if turkey breast is a little pink?

If the turkey was checked to ensure it was at adequate internal temperature then yes it is safe to eat. If you did not check to ensure it reads the proper temperature you could run the risk of eating undercooked turkey, which could make you sick.

Can I cook an Instant Pot frozen turkey breast?

You an cook a frozen turkey breast in an Instant Pot. The cook time will alter quite a bit. You would add in the liquid and trivet, then slather with butter and season and place on trivet. For a 3-4 pound breast you would pressure cook 65 minutes manual pressure, with 20 minute natural release. Then check to ensure it is fully cooked.

Does turkey need to rest before slicing?

Turkey is delicate and can dry out easily. Once you are done cooking your turkey, let it rest on a plate for 10 minutes, then slice and serve it up. You can use foil to create a tent over the turkey while it rests to keep it warm.

Ingredients

2-3 pound turkey breast bone in skin on
2 tablespoons oil
2 tablespoons butter softened
2 teaspoons poultry seasoning
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
Salt and Pepper to taste
1 cup water or chicken broth

Instructions

The first step is to add oil into the Instant Pot and select the saute feature. Let the oil get hot.
As the oil is heating up, slather the softened butter on all sides of the turkey. Then you will add on the poultry seasoning, chili powder, and salt and pepper.
Sear the turkey skin side down first, for 3-4 minutes. Then flip and sear the other side for 2-4 minutes.
Remove turkey and set to the side. Turn the saute feature off.
Add water or broth into the Instant Pot, and use a wooden spoon to deglaze the pressure cooker pot. Use the spoon to scrape up any stuck on bits, as this will cause a burn notice.
Once pot is cleaned on bottom place trivet in the Instant Pot, and set the turkey breast on the trivet so the turkey is out of the water.
Place your pressure cooker lid on, making sure it is sealed and valve is set to sealed as well.
Pressure cook for 7 minutes per pound. My 2 pound turkey I cook for 14 minutes. Do the 14 minutes on the poultry button, and allow the pressure cooker to natural release for 10-15 minutes.
After it is done with natural release, press off any extra pressure, by pushing the nozzle on the lid. Then carefully open, and remove the turkey. Let it set for 10 minutes.
You can place turkey in oven under broiler for 1-2 minutes to crisp up the skin if you would like.
Once done, slice and serve up this juicy Instant Pot turkey breast.

Notes

Internal Temperature – You need the internal temperature to read 170 degrees in the breast. Make sure to not touch the bone as it will give a false reading.

Cook Time – 7 minutes per pound of turkey. So a 3 pound turkey breast will be 21 minutes. A 2 pound breast will cook for 14 minutes.

Resting – Allow the turkey to rest 10 minutes once cooked to lock in juices. Otherwise it can dry out your turkey.

Instant Pot Italian Easter Bread Recipe (with video)

Kelsey — Sun, 06 Mar 2022 17:52:00 +0000

Italian Easter Bread is a sweet Italian Easter bread that offers a stunning presentation. A tender sweet bread with a colorful Easter egg center. I used my Instant Pot for proofing the bread dough, but this is optional.

This is also known as Easter egg bread! Whatever you call this sweet bread recipe, you will devour it. You can proof the dough on the counter and skip the Instant Pot if you prefer for proofing. I just find the IP speeds up the rising of the bread.

Instant Pot Italian Easter Bread Creation

I used my Instant Pot to speed up the process of proofing my Italian Easter bread!

It worked amazing, but if you don’t own a pressure cooker proof your bread the old fashioned way!

This bread is similar to challah egg bread.

What Is Easter Bread?

Easter bread with the colorful and bright egg center uses yeast to allow for the raised dough. I used an active dry yeast for this recipe.

This bread is a very easy Easter bread recipe, that you can make. It is a very traditional bread. I have more Easter recipes if you are interested.

Ingredients Needed

Unsalted Butter
Milk
All Purpose Flour
Active Dry Yeast
Salt
Granulated Sugar
Eggs
Dyed Easter Eggs
Poppyseeds (optional)

How Do You Shape Easter Bread Rings

I made 3 Easter rings out of my dough and one extra mini one for my son. Shaping your Italian Bread is easy.

After you work over the dough you will cut into 6-8 equal pieces. Then roll out each piece of dough to let it stretch a bit.

Think of it like rolling a big snake out of play-doh. Once you have 2 pieces of bread dough the same length you pinch one end together and then twist the dough.

Once it is fully twisted make a circle. Then place your colored egg in the center.

Decorating Easter Italian Bread

For this recipe of Italian bread I reached for poppy seeds. I wanted a very simple look to add a slight pop of color.

Now many recipes you find will use colored sprinkles and some even drizzle on a powdered sugar glaze for added sweetness like a cinnamon roll.

Storing

This bread can store at room temperature for a few hours, or refrigerate. The egg will spoil if left out for more than two hours at a time.

Freezing – This bread will freeze if you don’t want to eat it. I just recommend removing the egg before freezing. Then place in a proper container and freeze for 3-4 months. Thaw on the counter or warm in oven or microwave.

FAQs

Do I need an Instant Pot for this recipe?

No, you don’t have to have an instant pot to use this recipe. It will just take a bit longer to allow your dough to rise.
The instant pot when used in the yogurt setting helps to speed up the rising process of the dough. It shaved off sometime but you don’t have to have it.

Are the eggs in the center of Easter bread hard boiled?

If you don’t cook the eggs in the center of the Easter bread in advance, you will find it offers a medium-hard texture.
Now if you want a hard-boiled egg, you can pre-cook eggs to hard-boiled and then use. It will slightly overcook the eggs. So I tend to do the medium-hard eggs.

Do you eat the eggs in Italian Easter bread?

You can eat the eggs if you would like. If you choose to eat the eggs you need to eat them when fresh off the cooked bread.
Otherwise, you run the risk of getting sick from eating an egg that has sat out too long.

Can you proof bread dough in the Instant Pot without yogurt setting?

Unfortunately, you need the warm setting of the yogurt setting. Using the warm on the saute mode will get too hot and ruin your dough.
So for proofing the dough in the Instant Pot you do need the yogurt setting.

Equipment

Ingredients

1 1/4 cup milk
1/3 cup unsalted butter cubed
1 packet active dry yeast
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs beaten
4 cups all purpose flour + extra for rolling out
3 dyed Easter eggs can be raw or hard boiled

Egg Wash

1 egg beaten
1 teaspoon water

Toppings

Poppyseeds
or sprinkles

Instructions

The first thing you want to do is pour your milk and diced butter into a microwave safe container, and heat until it reaches 105 degrees. I did 30 second intervals.
In a larger bowl you will add your sugar, salt, and active dry yeast. Once the milk mixture reaches the right temperature, pour into the sugar mixture, do a quick stir and let sit 5 minutes.
You want to see the yeast begin to foam. This means your yeast is active, and it worked. If it doesn’t bubble up, your yeast is dead and it won’t work.
Once yeast is active you will begin to slowly add in some of your flour and mix. And then add in your beaten 2 eggs, and finish off with the flour.
When my dough seems pretty mixed and formed and slightly sticky to the touch, I then place the Easter sweet bread dough in a parchment-lined inner Instant Pot pan.
I turn the yogurt setting on for 30 minutes. Place a glass lid on top of the Instant Pot.
Once your dough has doubled in size, lay out on a floured surface. I then knead the bread a bit to remove any sticky texture left on the sweet bread dough.
Form into a rectangle and slice 6-8 lines of dough. Then roll out each dough like a snake and then pinch two pieces of the dough together and twist all the way down. You can see how I did it in my video.
Once twisted, roll into a circle and then lay out on a parchment lined baking pan.
Mix up your egg and water for the egg wash and brush onto the dough, followed by a sprinkle of poppyseeds or even sprinkles. Gently place the colored Easter egg in the center of the rolled up bread. Do not push it down or it will sink.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees and bake 15-18 minutes or until the bread is fully cooked through. If you use raw eggs, they will come out medium-hard texture if you eat them.
Remove the cooked bread from the pan immediately and place on a cooling rack.
Slice or pull apart and enjoy.

Video

Notes

If you don't want to make into circle rings you can cook in a big loaf as well.

Each Easter bread ring can serve 6 people.

No Instant Pot Method:

If you don't want to proof the dough in the Instant Pot just follow the directions above. Then place dough in a bowl and cover for 1 hour. And then return to the steps as directed.

Topping: Feel free to skip the poppyseeds and swap with sprinkles.

Quick and Easy Instant Pot Corn On The Cob

Kelsey — Sat, 05 Feb 2022 18:47:33 +0000

Looking for a tasty side dish to pair with dinner this week? If so try out my Instant Pot corn on the cob. It is a quick and easy way to cook ears of corn in your pressure cooker. This fresh corn on cob recipe is sweet, juicy, and perfectly cooked corn.

All your need is corn and water to make this Instant Pot corn recipe. So grab those ears of corn and get to cooking. Pair your corn with some slow cooker bbq chicken legs.

I love cooking sweet corn in our Instant Pot or even Ninja Foodi. It is a perfect side dish for a summer cookout or weeknight dinner that the whole family enjoys.

This Instant Pot Corn On Cob Recipe Is…

Quick and Easy pressure cooker corn on the cob
Plump Kernels
Fresh Flavor
Juicy
Sweet Corn
Simple Side Dish

Ingredients

Here is all you need for this corn on the cob in instant pot!

Corn on Cob – You can use fresh ears or frozen corn on the cob for this recipe. I find that frozen corn can kind of wilt down a bit in the kernels.

Water – I recommend using filtered water, we have an Reverse Osmosis that I used to help keep the water more pure.

Tools Needed

Instant Pot – I used a 6 quart Instant Pot, but feel free to use whatever size of pressure cooker you have. If your ears are too long, just cut them in half.

Steamer Basket – I used a steamer basket. You want to make sure your corn is out of the water.

How to Make

Full directions on how to make Instant Pot corn on the cob. This is a visual walk through for readers if they would like.

Step One: First place your steamer basket in the Instant Pot. Then place the corn in the basket.

Step Two: Next pour in the water, and place the lid on the pressure cooker. Make sure the valve is set to sealing, and do high manual pressure.

Step Three: Lastly, pressure cook as directed, and then quick release pressure once done.

Step Four: Once all the pressure is done, open the lid, and carefully remove the corn.

Pro Tips For Success

Cut corn into half and place in basket if you have larger corn on the cobs.
I used a steamer basket, but you can use any insert that keeps the corn out of the water. If the corn touches the bottom it will sog up a bit.
Also, overcooking the corn will either cause the kernels to become mushy or hard depending on how overcooked you make the corn.

Corn on the cob can be grilled, boiled, microwaved, pressure cooked, or even roasted! This is my pressure cooker version.

How to Pick Corn At The Store

Husks – Reach for bright colored husks as that shows they are freshly picked. If you buy brown husks that means the corn has been there for a bit and is getting old.

Corn Silks – The hair like silks you see in the corn can be a good indicator on the corn you are buying. The more silk you see the better. It will be a golden color and a bit sticky to the touch.

Stems – Look at the bottom of where the corn was cut from the plant. You will find if it is still moist that means your corn is fresh still. If you find it is brown on bottom, just like the husks the corn is older.

Kernels – You will find many stores allow you to pull back the husks to look at the corn you are going to buy. Look for plump evenly sized kernels. If they are wilted that means that part of the kernel is inedible and will need to be cut out.

Ways To Dress Up Corn

Not sure how to serve up your corn? Here are tasty toppings you can pair with your corn to transform the flavor.

Butter
Salt and Pepper
Garlic butter and Parmesan
Shredded cheese
Bacon crumbles
Cotija cheese
Creole Seasoning or Old Bay Seasoning

Storing

Not sure how long does corn on the cob last in the fridge? If you happen to not eat all the corn you can store in a container in the fridge for 1-3 days. You will find your corn is best served fresh.

Common Questions

How can you tell if corn on the cob is bad?

Corn on the cob is known to spoil after so long. It can spoil if cooked or raw. The biggest indicator is a rancid odor or shriveled kernels.

How long does uncooked corn on the cob last?

Uncooked corn on the cob can last in the refrigerator anywhere from 1-3 days. It is best to keep the corn in the husks. Or if you do de-husk the corn wrap in plastic wrap to help preserve the corn.

Can I pressure cook corn on the cob in husks?

If you want to leave the husks on the corn on the cob, simply trim the top of the husks, and remove silks. Place corn in husks in steamer basket and pressure cook for 3-4 minutes, followed by a quick release of pressure.

How to reheat corn on the cob?

My go-to way to reheat corn is to wrap in foil making sure the ends are folded in. Making sure the corn is completely covered. Place in the oven at 350 degrees for 5-6 minutes or until the corn is warmed through.

How long to cook corn?

You will pressure cook corn for 1 minute with a quick release of pressure. On how to boil corn you will boil for 3-5 minutes in a roiling boil of water on the stovetop.

This Cacio e Pepe Pasta Is…

4 Ingredient Spaghetti
Cook on the Stovetop or Pressure Cooker
Easy
Quick
Affordable
Cheesy Pasta

Ingredients You Will Need

Pasta – I used spaghetti noodles but you could easily swap for a different type of pasta. Fettucine or even angel hair could be delicious.

Chicken Broth – If you are vegetarian you could use a vegetable broth. The broth adds a nice richness to the pasta that you won’t get with water.

Black Pepper – Fresh crushed pepper is going to really elevate the flavor.

Pecorino Romano Cheese – Pecorino Romano cheese is a sheep milk based Italian cheese that will truly transform the dish. This Italian pasta is delicious and I think this cheese really makes it a show stopper.

How to Make

Full directions for this authentic Cacio e Pepe recipe are in the printable recipe card at the bottom of the post. This is a visual walk-through for readers. Directions for pressure cooker and stovetop are in the recipe card at the bottom of the post.

Step One: In your Instant Pot you will place your spaghetti noodles and chicken broth. Close the lid and set the valve on the lid to sealing.

Step Two: Pressure cook on high pressure for 8 minutes followed by a quick release of pressure.

Step Three: Next, add in 1/3 cup of the Romano cheese, and mix well with tongs. Then add in the rest of the cheese a little at a time, mixing between each handful.

Step Four: Next, add in the black pepper to your liking, and pile high on a plate or even a bowl and dive in.

Helpful Tips When Making Pasta

When mixing in the cheese do a bit at a time, to ensure the pasta gets well mixed to prevent spots not getting coated with cheese.

Make a crisscross pattern with the dry pasta to prevent it from sticking and clumping up in the pressure cooker.

Cook the pasta to al dente or your preferred texture.

This can be made on the stovetop, the full directions for that are in the printable recipe card.

Begin adding in the cheese right after it is done. Otherwise if the pasta cools too. I have it won’t melt the cheese.

Tongs work great at tossing and twisting the pasta as you mix it up.

For a lower carb option make this a spaghetti squash cacio e pepe. Simply swap the pasta out with a spaghetti squash for a twist on the recipe.

You can do a parmesan and pepper pasta, but it will taste a lot different by swapping out the cheese.

Storing Leftovers

Refrigerate any pasta that you do not eat right away. Place in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 4 days. Then warm up in the microwave as you would like.

I find that storing pasta in a glass container with a lid helps prevent the pasta from soaking in any odors stuck in the plastic container.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Cacio E Pepe?

This is an Italian dish and it means cheese pepper. Cheese, pepper, pasta and broth are all you need for this scrumptious dish.

Is this a main dish or side dish?

Feel free to serve your pasta as a main dish or side. We typically do a main dish with salad and garlic breadsticks on the side. But this would be delicious paired with chicken or pork.

Can I make this vegan?

To make vegan reach for a vegetable stock, and then use a vegan cheese.

Can I make this gluten free?

To make gluten free simply reach for gluten free pasta. Cook as directed on the stovetop version, or same cook time for pressure cooker.

Do you add butter to Pepe pasta?

Adding butter is a heated debate. Some swear for an authentic Caicos e Pepe you need butter and others swear it ruins the pasta. So it is up to you if you want to add 1-2 tablespoons in. If you add butter you will add it in once the pasta is cooked.

Common Questions For Pressure Cooking

Can you make desserts in pressure cooker?

You will be shocked at how many desserts you can make in the pressure cooker. The biggest thing is making sure to cover the dessert in foil if specified to ensure the condensation doesn’t sog up the dessert.

What does quick release mean for pressure cooking?

Quick releasing of pressure means that once the pressure cooker timer is done, you will take a wooden spoon and press down on the toggle on lid, and the steam will release. Then once the toggle drops and all the steam is released you can then open the lid.

Popular Dessert Pressure Cooker Tools

Springform Pan – Great for making cakes, cheesecakes, and more.

Silicone Sealing Rings – Use a new sealing ring for desserts only, that way they don’t take on odors from last nights dinner from the old sealing ring.

Egg Bite Molds – These silicone molds are great for making desserts that are bite size. Serve them up and have your own mini muffins, etc.

Try out my copycat Olive Garden breadsticks and let me know in the comments what you think. These are a tasty garlic brushed breadstick that is soft, tender, and finger licking good.

Why Make Olive Garden Breadsticks At Home

Homemade – you control ingredients used.
Dare I say better than Olive Garden
Leftovers for the next day
Freezer Friendly

Ingredients Needed

Active Dry Yeast – You will use yeast for getting the dough to rise. I use active dry yeast that I allow time for it to proof to ensure it is going to work.

Flour – Bread flour is what I used as it is a higher gluten content and will truly give your breadsticks a better texture. If you don’t have bread flour you can for sure use an all purpose flour.

Sugar – A little sugar is needed to feed the yeast and get it bubbling and activated.

Butter – You can use salted or unsalted butter. If you use salted butter omit the salt in the recipe.

Salt – This will help to level out and flavor your breadsticks.

Garlic Salt with Parsley – Now I buy a mix I sprinkle in, but you are welcome to grate fresh garlic and chop parsley to brush over the top of the breadsticks.

How To Make Olive Garden Breadsticks

Full steps on how to make Olive Garden breadsticks along with measurements are in the printable recipe card at the bottom of the post. This is a visual walk-through.

Proof your yeast
Add flour and butter to your yeast mixture and work over the dough.
Roll out on a floured surface and knead.
Proof your dough on counter or in Instant Pot using yogurt setting.
Roll out dough into a log.
Shape breadsticks and allow it to rise again.
Butter, and bake.
Then brush with garlic salt butter and enjoy it!

Proofing Dough In Instant Pot

I love proofing my bread dough in the Instant Pot! If you have an Instant Pot with a yogurt setting you should try proofing your dough. It speeds up the process and is crazy simple.

If you don’t have an Instant Pot, just place in a greased pan and cover and allow it to double in size on the counter. Either route will work great.

The pressure cooker method just takes 30 minutes where the counter method takes an hour.

What To Serve Garlic Breadsticks With

Whether you do your favorite pasta recipe or soup, or even a classic salad. These breadsticks are literally melt in your mouth and they will work great with any of your favorite dishes.

Or make these garlic breadsticks as a snack to break up the day. I never say no to a carb-loaded guilty pleasure.

Tips For Making

You need to ensure your yeast bubbles up as you let it sit. If it doesn’t bubble it means the yeast is not active, and it won’t work.
I added extra flour to the recipe, but you might not use all the flour for the dough. You want it to be soft, and that it won’t stick to your hands.
If you overmix the dough it will become rubbery and not offer a light and fluffy breadstick.
Baking your breadsticks will vary. You just want to ensure the breadsticks are fully cooked. You can turn the broil on to brown up your breadsticks if you need.

Common Questions

What type of yeast to use?

I reached for an active dry yeast. I seem to have great success with active dry, but you are welcome to try other types of yeast if you would like.

Can you add cheese on top?

For sure, you are more than welcome to sprinkle on your favorite cheese. Whether you want parmesan, mozzarella or even pepper jack. Just sprinkle it on once the breadsticks come out of the oven.u003cbru003eThen let them sit a few minutes and allow the cheese to melt. If you want a more golden brown top, sprinkle cheese on the last 3 minutes of cooking so it can crisp up a bit. Cheesy breadsticks are just as tasty in my opinion.

Why is there a range of flour to be used?

Depending on how you measure your flour and the humidity and such where you live, you will find the amount of flour needed to create your dough ball varies. You want your dough to form a ball and be soft but without sticking and pulling apart when touched.

Storing Leftovers

Refrigerate: Store any breadsticks you don’t eat leftover in the fridge for 2-3 days. I find anything more after that the bread becomes a lot drier.

Freezing: You can freeze these easy breadsticks for later on. Bake as directed and then allow the bread sticks to fully cool. Then transfer to a freezer container and then store for up to three months in the freezer.

Thaw on the counter or wrap in aluminum foil frozen and then warm up in a 325-degree oven.

Equipment

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups warm water 105-110 degrees
1 packet active dry yeast
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
2 tablespoons melted butter
1 tablespoon salt
3- 4 1/4 cup bread flour

Topping

1/4 cup butter melted
1 teaspoon garlic salt with parsley

Instructions

First, you want to take your warm water and add in yeast and sugar. Give a quick stir and let it sit 5-10 minutes for the yeast to bubble up and activate.
Pour the yeast mixture into a bowl. Now slowly add in some of your flour and stir.
Next pour in melted butter, and then add in more bread flour, along with salt. You may not use all the flour. You want the dough to form a ball and not be gummy or stick when you touch it.
Roll the dough onto a floured surface and knead the breadstick dough for 3 minutes.
Now form a ball and allow the dough to rise. Just cover in a greased bowl and let sit for around 1 hour on the counter. If your home is cooler it could take up to 2 hours to double in size.
Punch down risen dough, and lay out on the floured surface. Shape into a long log.
Cut into 18-20 pieces, and shape out your breadsticks and lay on a greased baking sheet. I had to use two pans.
Now cover and let rise another 30 minutes.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Then bake your breadsticks for 8-13 minutes or until the breadsticks are done. You can brush the breadsticks with butter before they go in the oven if you would like.
Now in a bowl take your topping of melted butter and garlic salt with parsley. Mix and brush each breadstick with the mixture.
Serve these copycat Olive Garden Breadsticks warm paired alone or with your favorite main dish.

Notes

Proofing Dough in Instant Pot: I proofed my dough in the Instant Pot on the low yogurt setting, with a glass lid. If you don't have that simply cover in a bowl and let rise on the counter. The Instant Pot takes 30 minutes where the counter method will take an hour. This only works if you use the yogurt setting.

Garlic – I used a dry garlic salt with parsley, but you can use fresh garlic and parsley to mix and brush over the top of your breadsticks.

This is a freezer-friendly ground beef recipe. You can freeze your ground beef mixture with the beans and tomatoes. You will want to not freeze the corn chips, and the sour cream and other toppings.

Just take your ground beef mixture and store it in the appropriate container for up to three months. Thaw in the fridge overnight, and then warm-up. Top with chips, extra cheese, and all your favorite toppings.

How To Make Homemade Eggnog

For making eggnog in the Instant Pot I started by turning my Instant Pot to saute, with water inside the pot with the trivet.
Then in a bowl, you want to whisk up your eggs well, followed by the rest of the ingredients.
Next, you will pour your mixture into a pan that you place in the Instant Pot. Whisk continuously, until it reaches 150 degrees.
Then turn the Instant Pot to the warm setting, and continue to whisk till you reach 160 degrees. Remove from Instant Pot, and serve warm or chill!

Food Safe Temperature For Pasteurizing Eggnog

You need your eggnog to reach 160 degrees Fahrenheit for it to make it food safe to drink. This is key to ensure your mixture reaches proper temperature. I used a thermometer to monitor my temperature.

With the Instant Pot, you can easily whisk your mixture as it is rising in temperature. If you don’t continuously whisk it can scramble the eggs in the mixture. It is key to not go over the 160-degree mark.

The reason you would do this is to push out a lot of the spice in the drink or get rid of any curdles that developed. I didn’t strain mine since it was just for my family. But, if I planned to serve it to a crowd I would.

Feel free to use any style pan whether it be a glass or aluminum. Just ensure it is safe in the Instant Pot. This recipe makes around 5 cups of eggnog.

Is this eggnog thick or thin?

My recipe gives you very thick and creamy eggnog. I use heavy cream and milk to create this thickness. Now, I used 1% milk, and I still had a really thick consistency. Of course, if you used whole milk you would find that it would add a thicker texture and richness. But feel free to make this eggnog recipe with any percentage of milk.

How To Store Eggnog

Place your eggnog in a container that has a lid and store in the refrigerator. Then store in the refrigerator for up to three days. If you add in alcohol to your eggnog it will last up to five days.

The alcohol helps preserve the eggnog, but if you want it family-friendly leave the alcohol out.

Notes

Thickness - This is a thick and creamy drink. Now if you want to make it thinner you can use 1 or 2% milk instead of a whole milk.

Straining - Depending on what you want you can strain the eggnog or choose to drink it without. If you strain use a cheesecloth with a fine mesh strainer.

Storing Leftovers - Store your leftovers in the fridge and then drink leftovers cold or warm up on the stovetop or in the microwave. If you heat in the microwave do 20-30 seconds and then stir as needed.

Cinnamon - You can add less or more cinnamon to flavor your eggnog. I like to have a bit extra as it adds so much flavor.

You do not drain the Rotel when you use it. The juice inside is full of flavor and will help make the dish creamy. Now some recipes you will find might state to drain, in that case then drain off the liquid.

Can you freeze Rotel dip?

With the dairy in the dip, you will find freezing doesn’t work well. The Rotel dip will separate a bit as it thaws.

Can I leave the meat out of Rotel Queso Dip?

Yes, leave the ground beef out if you would like. It will still be a flavorful dip without the meat in it. Just skip the saute setting since you don’t need to cook the meat.u003cbru003eI have also used sausage for this as well and it tasted good. We just prefer beef in ours.

Once the beef is no longer pink and fully cooked, add in your seasoning and Rotel and mix well.
Toss the diced Velveeta cheese on top, do not stir. The Velveeta needs to stay on top, or it will give burn notice.

Stir the mixture until cheese is melted, and then serve immediately!

Notes

Ninja Foodi Queso Dip

You will follow the same directions as the Instant Pot, just use the pressure cooker lid and not the crisping lid.

If you can’t find Chili Fixin’ Rotel use regular Rotel (diced tomatoes with green chilis) and add in a tablespoon of chili powder.
Velveeta cheese is a must for this recipe. You can’t swap it out.
If you want leave the ground beef out and do a meatless queso dip.
You can use homemade taco seasoning to replace of store-bought

Common Questions

Here are some common questions asked about making this BBQ pulled chicken Instant Pot recipe.

Can I cook frozen chicken in Instant Pot?

You can cook frozen or fresh chicken in the Instant Pot. That is one of the perks of pressure cooking. It will just take longer for your pressure cooker to come to pressure and begin the cooking process. You will leave the cook time the same. Or if your chicken is very thick you can add 4-5 extra minutes to ensure it is fully cooked.

How to know chicken is fully cooked?

Probe the chicken with a meat thermometer and ensure the chicken reads 165 degrees internally. Otherwise, you will find the chicken needs longer to cook. Return and cook for additional time.

Can I double this recipe?

If you own a 6 quart or larger pressure cooker go right ahead and double. Just watch the max fill line on the side and make sure not to go over that line.

How long does it take for chicken to reach pressure?

Depending on the food inside the pressure cooker the Instant Pot can take anywhere from 5-20 minutes. You will find the fuller the pot is the longer it can take. Soups, stews, etc. take longer. Also if you cook frozen chicken it will take up to 20 minutes.

How long to cook if I do less chicken?

If you are cooking thinner or smaller amount of chicken you can drop the cook time to 13-15 minutes and should be fine for pressure cooking. As always make sure to check internal temperature as all pieces of chicken range in size, and cook differently.

Cornstarch and Water – Cornstarch and water will be the thickening agent to the pie filling.

I love using a variety. I reach for Granny Smith and Honeycrisp apples. This blend gives you more depth and flavor to the filling. You have the sweet from the Honeycrisp and a tang from the Granny Smith, they compliment each other really well.

Granny Smith Apples | These apples are great for pie making and filling. They will give you a tarter flavor with mild sweetness.
Jonathon Apples | Another tart apple with a mild sweetness to it. This hardy apple will hold up well as it cooks.
Honeycrisp | A sweeter apple that is juicy and firm. This is a great one to use alone or blend with other apple varieties.
Fuji | A very popular variety when it comes to baking pies. A sweet apple that will give you a nice subtle sweetness to your filling.
Braeburn | Gives you a sweet and tart mixture to your pie. A very well-known apple for making pies that you will truly enjoy.

There are so many other varieties of apples that are great. Just make sure it is a firmer apple that will hold up as it cooks and breaks down.

Storage

Refrigerate: This pie filling will last 3-4 days in the fridge when stored in an airtight container. You will need to use your best judgment in terms of quality and when you feel you need to toss it out if you don’t eat it fast enough.

Freeze: You can place in an airtight container or sealable freezer bag and store in the freezer for up to two to three months. Thaw in the fridge the night before you plan to use it. This is a great apple pie filling to freeze for later.

How Do You Thicken Apple Pie Filling

You will remove 1/2 cup of liquid from the cooked apples, and mix in the cornstarch. Once it is blended, stir it in the rest of the filling and it will begin to thicken. The filling will thicken within a minute or two.

FAQs

How long do you pressure cook apples for pie filling?

You will do 1 minute with a quick release. This will give you a more broken down filling. If you want it to be thicker, then do a 0 minute cook time with a quick release. Both methods work great, and it is all about the texture you prefer.

Do you need to peel apples?

The apples do need to be peeled for making pie filling. You will find that the skins will give a very chewy texture to the mixture.

Does size matter when cutting apples?

You do need to make sure that your apples are evenly cut. Now, for pressure cooking you want to have larger slices of apples, otherwise the mixture will become too mushy.

Instructions

First peel and slice your apples. Do larger slices of apples or they will become mushy.
Place diced apples, brown sugar, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg in Instant Pot. Pour in water, and gently stir.
Place the pressure cooker lid on, and set valve to sealing. Do a 1 minute manual high pressure cook, followed by a quick release. Or for firmer apples do a 0 minute cook time.
Release pressure once cook time is up, and then remove 1/2 cup of the liquid. Mix in the cornstarch to the liquid.

Notes

Types of Apples: Use any baking apple you would like. You will find doing a variety of apples or two different kinds will bring tons of flavor to the pie filling.

I used my Instant Pot to proof my roll dough. If you have an Instant Pot with the yogurt setting give it a try.

If not no worries you can proof the dough in a greased bowl on the counter. It just takes about 30 minutes to an hour longer to do the traditional rising of the yeast rolls.

Butter
Cinnamon
Honey
Powdered Sugar

How To Make Texas Roadhouse Rolls

Step 1: Start by working on your yeast mixture with the milk. Heat your milk to 105 degrees, and add a little sugar and yeast to allow it to bubble. This takes around 5 minutes.

Step 2: Once you have milk, water, butter, and a little sugar warm pour in the yeast and let sit. It needs to activate. It will bubble up.

Step 3: Now grab your stand mixer with a dough hook and get to mixing. Once the dough is formed I place in the pressure cooker to rise. This takes 30 minutes which shaved off some time.

Step 4: Punch down yeast roll dough and roll out on a floured surface. Cut, bake, butter, and devour.

How To Make Dough Rise

When working with yeast, it needs a warm environment. You will find these two methods are great for getting your dough to rise double in size.

Counter Methods for Dough

Once your dough is mixed up, take your dough ball and place it in a greased bowl.

Cover with a towel and let it sit for an hour. I find a warmer place in the home to let the dough rest.

Instant Pot Method For Dough

I use this method all the time. Simply mix up your dough as directed. Then place your dough ball in the bottom of the pot in your Instant Pot.

Now cover with a glass lid, and turn yogurt setting on. Make sure it is on low yogurt and let rise 30 minutes.

Storage

You can store these dinner rolls on the counter in an airtight container or sealable bag. Make sure that you store the cinnamon butter in the fridge, as it will store best that way.

Freezing Rolls – You can freeze these dinner rolls as well. Just allow to fully cool and then freeze for 3-4 months.

Reheating Rolls – Warm them up in the microwave. Thaw on the counter. Or wrap tightly in aluminum foil and heat in the oven. All methods work great.

Recipe FAQs

What is the best yeast to use for dinner rolls?

I used u003cstrongu003eactive yeastu003c/strongu003e, you will see that in the video if you watch it. You can also useu003ca href=u0022https://amzn.to/2Vmq8b3u0022 target=u0022_blanku0022 rel=u0022noreferrer noopeneru0022u003e u003cstrongu003einstant yeastu003c/strongu003eu003c/au003e if you have that on hand. u003cbru003eThe difference is active yeast you need to activate it so you mix with the milk, water, and a little sugar. Let it sit till it becomes foamy which takes about 5-10 minutes. Instant yeast you just mix right in like any other ingredient.

Can I make Texas Roadhouse rolls in advance?

Sure you can make these rolls in advance. What you will do is bake up your rolls exactly how you would in the recipe card. u003cbru003eAllow them to cool and then cover to store on the counter or toss them right into the freezer. u003cbru003eWhen I want to reheat them what I do is turn the oven on to 350 degrees, and wrap rolls in aluminum foil. u003cbru003ePlace in the oven and allow them to warm up. The aluminum foil will help them from drying out. Once done place on a platter or bread bowl and serve.

How to know yeast is activated?

Warm liquid, sugar, and yeast are the perfect environment to bloom your yeast. It will bubble and foam up after it sits 5-10 minutes. Make sure you allow the active dry yeast time to bloom to ensure it is good still.

Does this recipe for rolls double?

You can double this dinner roll recipe. Simply double the recipe and batch cook the dinner rolls in the oven.

That would be plain cruel if I gave you this roll recipe without the famous cinnamon butter! Don’t worry I have the cinnamon butter recipe in the recipe card below.

How to Make Cinnamon Butter

I used my stand mixer and whipped up softened butter with honey, cinnamon, and powdered sugar.

Crazy simple but yet so satisfying on every level. It’s safe to say my son loved the butter more than the rolls I think! This butter is great on any Instant pot roll, biscuit, etc.

Ingredients

Roadhouse Rolls

2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
1 cup milk
1/4 cup water
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/4 cup sugar + 1 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 large egg
3 1/2 – 4 cups all purpose flour
1 tablespoon butter for buttering rolls after cooked

Cinnamon Butter

1 stick of unsalted butter softened
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 tablespoon honey
1 1/2 tablespoons powdered sugar

Instructions

The first thing you will want to do is take a microwave safe bowl. Add in your milk, water, and dice up your 2 tablespoons of butter and put in the mixture.
Put in the microwave for 20-30 second increments. You will want to heat the mixture to 100-105 degrees F. Use a thermometer to ensure you reach the right temperature.
Once your mixture is warm, you will add in 1 teaspoon of granulated sugar, and your yeast. Sit the yeast mixture on the container, as it needs to rest for 5-10 minutes. Your yeast will begin to bubble, this is a great way to know your yeast is activated.
Once the yeast bubbles up then pour into your KitchenAid Stand Mixer. Put the dough hook on. Add in your sugar, egg, salt, and then slowly add in your flour. You won’t use all the flour possibly.
You want to make sure the dough forms a ball and is not sticky to the touch where it comes off on your hand. Add flour a little at a time so you don’t add too much and make your rolls dense.
Once it is ready layout on a floured surface and knead for a few minutes. Then place the dough ball to rise.
You can rise in a greased bowl on the counter for an hour or until it doubles in size. Or place in a greased Instant Pot with a glass lid. Then turn the yogurt setting on low for 30 minutes.
Take your risen dough and punch it down and then roll out. Fold the dough in half and slice into lines. Then cut into squares for the rolls.
Cover and let rise for 15 more minutes.
Bake in a preheated oven at 350 degrees. Bake 8-13 minutes or until the rolls are done. Depending on thickness will depend on how long it takes to cook.
Then melt the 1 tablespoon of butter and then spread on the cooked rolls with a silicone brush.
Now you can add all the ingredients for your cinnamon butter in a bowl or stand mixer. Whip it up until creamed and fully mixed.
Now serve up warm Texas Roadhouse rolls with cinnamon butter for dinner or any other occasion you might be craving them.

Notes

Bloom yeast: Make sure to allow your yeast to bloom. The milk needs to be 105-110 degrees so it allows yeast to bloom without killing it.

Double the Recipe: You can double this recipe, just batch cook the rolls.

Freezing Rolls: Freeze dinner rolls you don’t eat right away. Just store in the freezer for 3-4 months in an airtight container or freezer bag.

Warming Rolls Up: Warm up your Texas Roadhouse rolls by wrapping in aluminum foil and place in a 350 degree oven. Let it warm up for around 5-10 minutes. Remove and then serve with butter and enjoy, soft warm rolls!

Buffalo Sauce – Reach for your favorite brand of Buffalo sauce. You control the heat so go all out and do spicy or buy a mild Buffalo sauce!

Butter – I prefer real butter not margarine.

Ranch Dressing – Reach for any brand you enjoy.

Garnish – Garnishes are optional. We topped ours with blue cheese and green onions.

How to Make

Step 1: The first step is adding your butter, water, ranch and buffalo sauce into the Instant Pot. Mix to combine ingredients.

You can cook on the stovetop or even the crock pot I share directions for both methods in the recipe card.

FAQs

How spicy are these buffalo meatballs?

You can buy mild buffalo sauce to tame down the heat, or you can reach for a classic like Frank’s Buffalo sauce. The choice is yours in terms of what buffalo sauce, on how hot or mild these meatballs are.

What does quick release mean?

Quick release means once the cook time is done, you will push the valve open releasing all the built up steam in your Instant Pot. Depending on the recipe, you will quick release, or natural release the food inside.

Can I make these meatballs in a Ninja Foodi?

Use the pressure cooker mode when making the meatballs in the Ninja Foodi. The cooking process will be the same as it would be in the Instant Pot.

Why add water to the mixture?

Adding water is going to help prevent the Instant Pot from doing a burn notice with the liquid you are mixing. If liquid is too thick or not enough you will run into a burn notice.

Adjust cooking time depending on the size of your ham, you will be using.
Leftover ham is great, I love making this ham salad with leftovers.

2 tablespoons plus one cup water

Pour one cup of water into the bowl of the Instant Pot. Add the trivet and
place the spiral ham on top.

pressure for 7 minutes. When the cook time is up, do a quick release.

Notes

Suggestions For Size of Ham

2-3 pounds – 7 minutes
4-5 pounds – 8 minutes
5-7 pounds – 9-11 minutes
8 pounds – 10-12 minutes

Flavoring: Feel free to flavor your ham any way you want. This was a simple glaze I made and used ,but change it up if you want.

Dry Ham – If you are worried about dry ham, you can place foil around your ham and pour the glaze in, then leave it kind of open at the top. This can help lock in more moisture.

Storing – If you have leftover ham store for 3-4 days in the fridge.

Freezer Directions – Freeze for up to 3 months. Then warm in the microwave, on the stove, etc.
