Pressure Cooker Mac and Cheese

Pressure Cooker Mac and Cheese

For the first 20 or so years of my life, my mom’s famous Macaroni & Cheese was my favorite food in the whole world. I then spent several years as an adult trying to actually write down a recipe, since she never measures anything. Well, I’ve now taken it to the next level… Pressure Cooker Mac and Cheese! And it’s pretty doggone good.

I wanted to create a quick and easy version of her dish with the similar flavor profile that we could make for dinner any night of the week. The only real difference is that I used chicken stock to cook the noodles. It’s definitely more savory, but you can use water if preferred. And low and behold, after only a few tries, I think we nailed it. It even got the approval of our 2-year-old daughter!

What You’ll Need – Thankfully Not Much!

The Process

Add 1 pound elbow macaroni to empty pressure cooker.

Then add 4 cups chicken stock (or water) and 2 tablespoons butter. Set manual timer for 4 minutes at high pressure.

Meanwhile – beat 2 eggs together with 1 tablespoon seasoned salt and 1 teaspoon black pepper.

Whisk one 12 oz. can of evaporated milk into egg mixture.

Once cook time is complete – quick-release pressure. Be aware that some of the starchy bubbles may try to come our the the vent, so you will need to do this gradually. Keep a towel handy. Then mix the pasta well. It may appear to be stuck to the bottom, but it should be just fine.

Switch to sauté setting – add egg/milk mixture and stir very well. Continue stirring until it comes back up to a boil.

Add cheese and continue mixing until fully melted.

Slow Cooker Chicken Tortilla Soup

Posted on March 15, 2018

Slow Cooker Chicken Tortilla Soup

Not all slow cooker chicken tortilla soup recipes are created equally. This one is so good that the first time I made it, I actually hurt myself by having thirds. But I had no regrets about it! It does require an “extra” step: cooking a whole chicken to use both the meat and broth. We did this overnight, then removed the chicken and added remaining ingredients in the morning.

2 Reasons to Use a Whole Chicken

With two little ones at home (and a third on the way), we’re always looking for ways to save a few bucks. Buying whole chickens is a no-brainer for using since they’re usually the cheapest meat at the grocery store.

But even more than for saving money, the increased taste factor from using a whole chicken in this soup is the main reason. Sure, you can use chicken breasts and store-bought broth and they’ll work just fine. But the depth of flavor from this method takes this soup to another level.

Is it worth the extra step?

I will admit… while developing this recipe, I wondered to myself if I was wasting my time by cooking a whole chicken first. In my head I thought it would be worth it, but I really just didn’t know. Then, after my wife took her first bite, I knew I had made the right decision. She said something like, “Okay, this might be the best thing you’ve ever cooked.” I’ll take it!

Pressure Cooker Bone Broth – 2 Recipes for Chicken and Beef

Pressure Cooker Bone Broth

2 Recipes for Chicken and Beef

Now I know this is not an everyday thing. But trust me… when you have the time, there is no other single better way to take your cooking to the next level than making your own stock. There are a few reasons why I find making pressure cooker bone broth so much better than on the stovetop. First, you will reduce your cook time by more than half. And secondly, none of your stock will evaporate in a pressure cooker, so you get more in the end!

Save the Homemade Bone Broth for the Good Stuff!

Some of my favorite ways to use these bone broths are as follows:

Pressure Cooker Pho

Posted on March 3, 2018

Pressure Cooker Pho (Instant Pot Pho)

I had never even heard of pho until a few years ago. But once I tasted it, I immediately had a new favorite food. I’m not kidding. A great bowl of pho is my favorite food in the whole world. So, for that reason, I was a little reluctant to post a recipe. I have a pretty high standard for pho broth. This pressure cooker pho has all the flavor of an authentic preparation, but in a fraction of the time. Even though this easy pho recipe takes more time than most Instant Pot pho recipes, the depth of flavor that is achieved is worth a few extra minutes.

Easy Pho Recipe – But it Takes a Little Time…

There’s no doubt that my Instant Pot is currently my favorite kitchen tool. I love the versatility and precision that comes with it. But I may be the only person that refuses to sacrifice quality for time’s sake. I would much rather spend a few more minutes and end up with a meal that is amazing than cut corners and just barely enjoy my dinner.

That being said… this recipe will take a while to cook. While the prep is very easy, there’s about 2-hour total cook time. It will take your IP about 20 minutes to come to pressure, then a 60-minute cook time, and finally 30 minutes of natural pressure release. So this is not an everyday type meal. But, when you’re ready for something special, it’s worth every minute!

Why Not Splurge a Little?

I’ve prepare this dish using several different choices of meat. And I must say, without a doubt, it’s worth it to spend a few more dollars for filet mignon. The tenderness is just in a league of its own. If you do decide to use filet, I recommend using the thinner end cuts of the tenderloin. Nobody usually wants these for steaks, so they are always available in the grocery store.

Ingredients

2-3 lbs. beef shank
12 cups water
2 inches fresh ginger peeled
1 large yellow onion roughly chopped
1/4 cup fish sauce
1 Tbsp. sugar
5 star anise
3 cloves
1 cinnamon stick
1/4 tsp. fennel seed
1/2 tsp. coriander seed
1 Tbsp. salt
2 bay leaves
1 lb. filet mignon (or top sirloin) thinly sliced
14 oz. rice noodles
1 small yellow onion thinly sliced
1 Tbsp. cilantro finely chopped
2 scallions thinly sliced

Instructions

Place the following ingredients in pressure cooker and lock lid - beef shank, water, ginger, onion, fish sauce, star anise, cloves, cinnamon, fennel seed, salt, bay leaves.
Set manual time for 60 minutes at high pressure. Once cook time is complete, allow pressure to release naturally for about 30 minutes, then release all remaining pressure.
Line a colander with cheese cloth and pour broth into stovetop pot to keep hot until ready to serve. Discard all cooked ingredients, since all you will eat is the broth. Feel free to skim as much of the fat from surface as you like. Some fat is good, so don't remove all of it.
Prepare rice noodles according to instructions and set aside.
Place equal amounts of uncooked steak into 4 bowls. Do the same with the noodles. Pour boiling broth over steak (this is what cooks the meat) and allow to sit for a minute or two.
Top each bowl with sliced onions, cilantro, and scallions. Serve immediately!

Recipe Notes

For garnish - use any combination of bean sprouts, limes, jalapeno, basil, mint, hoisin sauce, and Sriracha.

I don’t know about you, but I’m kinda sick of regular ol’ buffalo wings. I guess I’ve reached the point in life where I’ve nearly eaten too many of them. Well… that’s not entirely true. There’s one exception to this “rule”. If there’s a truly amazing sauce, I can still put away a dozen (or two) in one sitting. I’m happy to report that these Air Fryer chicken wings fall into the latter category.

Grandma B’s Pressure Cooker Chicken and Rice

Some of my most vivid memories are attached to food. And I don’t think I’ve ever known a cook as good and my Grandma B. I remember growing up and being amazed at how good even her rice tasted. She is no longer with us, so I can’t ask – but I’m pretty sure this pressure cooker chicken and rice recipe is similar. Even if it isn’t, it sure reminds me of eating in her kitchen after school. And that’s just fine with me.

Few Ingredients. Few steps.

Ya gotta love a recipe that doesn’t require any ingredients or complicated preparation. Every now and then it’s just nice to have something simple that still delivers the delicious. I mean, the toughest part of this pressure cooker chicken and rice is trying to remove the whole chicken from the pressure cooker. Then just remove the meat from the bones while the rice cooks, and add it back. Anyone can do this! Anyone.

Calories 440 kcal

Author The Foodie Eats

Ingredients

4 lb. whole young chicken
2 quarts water
2 cups basmati rice
4 tsp. salt
2 tsp. black pepper separated
2 Tbsp. lemon juice

Instructions

Place whole chicken in Instant Pot breast side up, then add water, salt, and 1 teaspoon of pepper. Lock lid, close vent, and set manual timer for 25 minutes on high pressure.
Once cook time is complete, allow pressure to release naturally (will take about 30 minutes). Then remove chicken from pot to a separate bowl. Be careful because it might be falling apart, which is good!
Add lemon juice and rice to broth, then mix well. Lock lid, close vent, and set manual timer for 4 minutes on low pressure.
Meanwhile - remove all the meat from the bones and tear into medium-size pieces. Throw away all the skin and bones.
Once cook time is complete, quick-release pressure. (If liquid starts to come out of vent, just close it and wait a minute or two. Sometimes the rice will produce those starchy bubbles.) Then remove lid and add chicken and 1 teaspoon black pepper to pot. Mix well.
Serve and enjoy!

Recipe Notes

I would recommend not covering the rice after it's cooked. This will cause the rice to continue to cook and become mushy.

Kale and Brussels Sprout Salad

Author: The Foodie Eats

Ingredients

1 lb. Brussels sprouts
1 small bunch kale - de-ribbed, shredded
4 radishes - cut into eighths
1 apple - diced
1 pear - diced
5 Tbsp. lemon juice - separated
½ cup golden raisins
¼ cup cider vinegar
¼ cup agave nectar
2 tsp. salt
¼ tsp. black pepper
1 Tbsp. sugar
¼ cup nutritional yeast
¼ cup grapeseed oil

Instructions

Slice off the stems of the Brussels sprouts and remove outer leaves individually. Then thinly slice the inside, so there is nearly no waste. Once you dice the apple and pear, immediately toss them in 2 Tbsp. lemon juice to prevent discoloration. In a large bowl, combine Brussels sprouts, kale, radishes, apple, pear, and raisins. Give a good toss!
In a medium bowl - whisk together the 3 Tbsp. lemon juice, vinegar, agave nectar, nutritional yeast, sugar, salt, and pepper until the liquid appears creamy. Then slowly whisk in the oil.
Pour dressing over salad and toss well to evenly coast all the ingredients. Let stand for at least 15 minutes (and up to an hour refrigerated) before serving. This will help the hearty greens "soften" just a little bit.
Serve and enjoy!

Ingredients

28-30 oz. fresh frozen baby lima beans
3 cups water really just enough to cover beans
1/2 tsp. black pepper
2 Tbsp. butter can sub vegan butter
1 bay leaf
1 tsp. salt

Instructions

Place beans, water, black pepper, and butter in IP. Lock lid, close vent, and set manual time for 7 minutes on high pressure.
Once cook time is complete, allow pressure to release naturally (about 10 minutes).
Open lid and add salt. Mix well, then allow to sit for at least 10 minutes on warm setting.

Recipe Notes

If you add the salt before cooking, the skin of the beans will be tougher. It is kind of a rule of thumb to always add salt to beans AFTER they are cooked.
