6-Day Instant Pot Menu

I know I have talked a lot about the Instant Pot lately.  Pretty sure people roll their eyes when they hear me say "Well, I just used my Instant Pot and...."  Sorry about that!  But this really has been life changing for us.  We both work full time and have lots of other activities that use even more time, but it's important to us to eat healthy and well.  So this week I give you, the 6-Day Instant Pot Menu!  It is just the two of us, so the quantities are plenty.  For a larger family, you may have to double a recipe to have enough for leftovers.  But each of the main dish meal ideas is great even if there are no leftovers!

We usually have the meal one day and the leftover a couple days later.  But mix it up in a way that works for you... and Enjoy!!

MAIN DISH MEAL		REPURPOSED MEAL
Thai Chicken with rice	-->	Thai Chicken Pizza
The recipe as written here is to make the chicken and use it for pizza, but just stop on the ingredients list when you get to the naan bread.  Then serve it once it's done in the Instant Pot, and omit the instructions for baking in the oven.  You can serve it over rice or cauliflower rice the first time and then use what's left for pizza later in the week.
Instant Pot Southwest Chicken	-->	Chicken Nachos
Again, a little bit of the cart before the horse situation here… The recipe is for the nachos but you can make the recipe and serve over rice or noodles the first time, and then over tortilla chips for the repurpose!
Pot Roast	-->	Beef and vegetable soup
First day:  Make the roast as described at the link, then follow the directions below for a warm-you-to-the-core soup!! Beef Vegetable Soup Using leftover pot roast, shred or chop about 2 cups beef and throw that in the Instant Pot.  Also add any leftover onions and carrots from your roast.  If you saved the broth, use that.  If not, add about two cups of beef broth.  (You can use leftover broth and added broth.... that's what I had to do.)  Add one 26 oz. can crushed tomatoes.  Add about 1-1/2 cups frozen mixed vegetables.  Pressure cook on high for 5 minutes.  Quick release pressure and serve!

What are you eating this week?  Whatever it is, Keep it Clean!!
