How to Host a Rainy Day BBQ with an Instant Pot

5 Delicious Indoor Rainy Day BBQ Recipes

Dreary forecast messing with your weekend BBQ plans? You may not be able to fire up the grill, but we've got you covered with 5 delicious Instant Pot recipes to save your rainy day BBQ plans! Here in Florida, afternoon thunderstorms are the norm. It's often too rainy, or too plain hot, to fire up the grill.

So, when we visited my in-laws for Memorial Day, rather than hauling along our grill, we brought our Instant Pot and surprised them with an indoor BBQ feast. For Independence Day, we're hitting the road and crossing three state lines to visit family. You better believe we're taking along our Instant Pot, and several of these recipes!

Make-Ahead Sides

Unless you own 5 Instant Pots, making a couple of recipes in advance is the way to go. Make these sides the day before, then cook the main dishes the day of!

1. Southern Style Baked Beans

Impress your BBQ guests by serving southern baked beans cooked from scratch right in your Instant Pot.

2. Potato Salad - Deviled Egg Style

Deviled eggs meet potato salad in this old family recipe. This dish is sure to be on our table for just about any BBQ, family dinner or holiday.

3. Collard Greens - Southern Style in ONE HOUR
