I have put together a list of 38 Frugal Instant Pot Recipes Under $10 for you to use when you are trying to make your grocery list for the week.  Try to think of how you can use your leftovers from one Instant Pot meal to create a whole new meal the next night by adding only a few extra items to help you stay under budget! When we first purchased our Instant Pot Duo it was so that we could eat more meals at home rather than from the drive-thru because we just didn’t have time to cook at home. Since then we have purchased a second Instant Pot,…

I just love how easy it is to make these Instant Pot Duo Crisp Boneless Chicken Bites!  We love getting fried chicken bites with white country gravy, french fries, and garlic bread from Whataburger.   That was the inspiration for this recipe.  How could I make one of our favorite fast food dinners healthier???  Well, air fry the boneless chicken bites and bake the french fries in the oven!!!! It kind of resembles the thought behind the books Eat this not that. I guess maybe I could have titled this recipe Instant Pot Air Fryer Lid Chicken Nuggets also……. Now we like to dip our Instant Pot Duo Crisp Boneless Chicken…

Let me start by saying this Instant Pot Whole Chicken in Instant Pot Duo Crisp can also be made in a regular Instant Pot.  We just purchased our second Instant Pot about a month ago, the Instant Pot Duo Crisp.  It does everything that a regular Instant Pot does plus it comes with a second lid which air fries, bakes, or roasts!! If you do not have an Instant Pot Duo Crisp you can get these same results by first pressure cooking your whole chicken in your Instant Pot and then crisping the skin with either a Mealthy Lid, Instant Pot Lid, or putting your whole chicken in the oven…

This Instant Pot Cajun Shrimp Fettuccine with Velveeta Cheese  recipe is our quick and easy Instant Pot version of a recipe that is usually cooked on the stove or in the oven.  Cajun shrimp fettuccine with Velveeta is a very popular dish here in Louisiana.  So, I decided to put my own spin on it and figure out a way to cook this cheesy yet creamy dish in the Instant Pot! If you rather your shrimp pasta in an Alfredo sauce instead you can try our other recipe.  –>Instant Pot Shrimp Alfredo Pasta  This post may contain affiliate links.  Please read my affiliate disclaimer here.

You will love how simple this Instant Pot Duo Crisp plus Air Fryer Breaded Chicken Breast Recipe is. I guess I should start by telling you we purchased a new Instant Pot a few weeks ago!!!!! 😊  We originally had the 8qt. Instant Pot Duo.  Which we still have and still use every week.  But I wanted to get an air fryer lid for it.  It was between the Mealthy Crisplid or the Instant Pot Air Fryer Lid.   Plus, we would need an air fryer basket and any other accessories to go with it.  Instead of purchasing all these things separately I decided to buy the 8 qt Instant Pot…

You will love these 7 Easy Shrimp Instant Pot Recipes!  Cooking seafood in your Instant Pot is so quick and easy.  The Instant Pot makes any recipe cook so much faster and since seafood or shrimp doesn’t take very long to cook on the stove you can typically pressure cook them in just a matter of a few minutes.  Plus, they absorb the flavors so much better. We love our Instant Pot Duo.  And we just recently purchased an Instant Pot Duo Crisp plus Air Fryer.  I am totally convinced now that the makers of these Instant Pots are absolute geniuses!!!!  Not only can we make quick and easy meals…

This is our version of a Quick and Easy Instant Pot Shrimp and Crawfish Etouffee!  It is a dump and push start recipe.  You do not make a roux like a traditional etouffee you make on the stove, but in my opinion, it is just as good!  If you do not have access to crawfish tails you can substitute the 1 lb. of crawfish for shrimp instead.  So you would have 2 lbs. of shrimp total for this recipe instead of 1 lb. crawfish and 1 lb. shimp. We also made a quick and easy version of Instant Pot Chicken and Sausage Gumbo if you would like to try that…

This Easy Instant Pot BBQ Chicken Drumsticks turned out amazing!  We love fried chicken legs, so I was looking for a way to get the same amazing flavor only healthier.  We started with pressure cooking them in our Instant Pot first and they were good, but they didn’t have the crispy crunchy skin that fried chicken does.  I had been eyeing either this Mealthy Crisplid, Instant Pot Air Fryer Lid or this Instant Pot Duo Crisp + Air Fryer for a while.  Since we use our 8 qt Instant Pot now 2 – 3 times a week and get a fair amount of wear and tear to it I decided…

Dump and Start Instant Pot Beef Tips and Gravy is so easy to make and so delicious!  We made this recipe with sliced potatoes and served it over rice.  It was amazing!!!  I plan on making another Instant Pot Beef Tips in a Mushroom Gravy without potatoes that you can serve over noodles too. If you like serving your beef tips and gravy over mashed potatoes, then you will probably like this meal.  The sliced potatoes absorb so much flavor when pressure cooking it all together in one pot.  After it is done your potatoes are still mostly intact but very soft.  The more you stir the more your potatoes…
