10 Instant Pot Dinners with 10 Ingredients or Less

I specialize in Instant Pot recipes, more specifically Instant Pot dinner recipes and I really love when they are EASY Instant Pot dinner recipes. I am not a fancy cook but my recipes taste good and are great for families. I love when the recipes come together even more quickly because they have just a handful of easy-to-find ingredients.

Today I want to share with you 10 Instant Pot dinners with 10 ingredients or less. I did not include salt and pepper as ingredients because I figure everyone has those at home. So don’t be sending me an email that says “this has 12 ingredients.” Lol!!! 🤣
