I’ve made a LOT of Instant Pot recipes. I mean a lot. I have over 1000 posts on my blog dedicated to something that has to do with the Instant Pot. Some of them have been very tasty and very popular like the tuscan chicken pasta or garlic parmesan chicken or tortellini chicken spinach soup. Others have been more of a flop and haven’t made it onto the blog. Womp wah. Here are the 5 weirdest recipes I’ve made.

Top 5 Weirdest Recipes to Cook in Your Instant Pot

Let’s face it if you’re cooking with an Instant Pot most every day of the year you try out some different, weird foods from time to time. Here are some of the strangest things I’ve made so far…

Instant Pot Gingersnap Pot Roast

The gingersnaps are added to the gravy. The gingersnap cookies create a gravy thatโ€™s savory, spicy, and lightly sweet. The gravy is almost caramel colored and it thickens immediately as the cookies dissolve in an instant. Itโ€™s very unique and interesting. If youโ€™re adventurous give it a try!

JB said, “Adding gingersnaps is an old trick for thickening traditional German Sauerbraten gravy. “

Carol said, “My dad did something similar back in the 1970โ€™s. Sounded a bit silly at the time.”

Instant Pot Garth Brooksโ€™ Breakfast Bowl

This recipe is unique because it’s a breakfast casserole with tortellini and eggs….together. I was a little skeptical when I read the recipe but I couldnโ€™t believe how tasty tortellini was when embedded in a breakfast casserole. It is so tasty!!! Try this recipe for Christmas morning this year! You wonโ€™t be disappointed.

Instant Pot Breakfast Mac And Cheese

I was skeptical about this breakfast mac and cheese but it turned out to be a winner. The crispy cheesy hashbrowns on top were an amazing crust that I wanted to pick off and devour.

Instant Pot Pancake Casserole

I saw a recipe for pancake casserole and was unsure if I would like it or not. It seemed weird to me. Pancake batter with cheese and bacon and maple syrup?! Weird, right? Well it turns out it was so tasty! My husband and son agreed with me too. They were skeptics until they tried it. This recipe is a perfect idea for brunch or breakfast for dinner.

Margie said, “We very much enjoyed this sweet and savory combo! thank you for sharing! I foresee it being made many, many times. i look forward to trying it with blueberries soon!”

      I would either get a 7×3 inch fat daddios pan http://amzn.to/2EH7OR8 or a 3 quart liner https://amzn.to/3djcQ73 (it fits inside your 6 or 8 quart pot).
