Instant Pot/Slow Cooker Meal Plan for a Month

The hardest part of cooking, for me, is coming up with a meal plan and figuring out what I want to make for dinner. I’m sure there are some of you that love this process but for the rest of us I’ve got a useful tool for you today. Here is a menu plan with dinners that you can make in the Instant Pot and slow cooker. Put those time saving counter appliances to good use this summer. They won’t heat up your kitchen and they’ll give you extra time to play.

I’ve used theme nights to make it easy to plan. You can easily switch these days around as per your preferences and what you have going on that week.

• Monday: Meatless/Fish/Breakfast for dinner
• Tuesday: Mexican foods (including tacos for Taco Tuesday)
• Wednesday: Soups, Salads or Sandwiches
• Thursday: Pasta or Italian Night
• Friday: Out to eat or leftovers
• Saturday: American Favorites or Grill Night
• Sunday: Comfort Foods

What Pressure Cooker/Slow Cooker Do You Use?

I use a 6 quart oval Kitchenaid slow cooker.* I love this slow cooker (you can see me talking about it in a video here). It cooks low and evenly. I love the medium heat choice because most slow cookers that I’ve seen only have the option of cooking on low or high. If you’re going to buy just one slow cooker, this is the one that I recommend.

I use a 6 quart Instant Pot Duo 60 7 in 1*. I love this Instant Pot because it has the yogurt making function which I use almost weekly.  It has two pressure settings (high and low), and there are also little slots in the handles so that you can rest the lid there instead of putting it down on your counter-top.
