Instant Pot Beef Stroganoff Recipe

http://www.baconismagic.ca/russia/instant-pot-beef-stroganoff/Beef stroganov (Stroganoff in French) is a 19th century Russian dish with sauteed beef, sour cream and mustard. It did not appear in North America until the 1950s and 60s. Americans adapted the recipe and served beef stroganoff on egg noodles. Much like bolognese, beef stroganoff became popular after the war. Veterans returned and had a new sense of worldly cuisine and wanted to eat it at home. Via baconismagic.ca

Instant Pot BBQ Pork Chops Recipe

http://musthavemom.com/instant-pot-bbq-pork-chops-recipe/If you don’t have an Instant Pot yet then I highly recommend choosing the Instant Pot Duo 7 in 1 Pressure Cooker. It has a 6 quart capacity and has the added yogurt function that the 6 in 1 model doesn’t include. Not only that, but you are able to buy it for the same price that I bought the lesser 6 in 1 model for at Christmas. I’m a little bit jealous that you’ll be getting an Instant Pot with an added function for the same price that I bought mine! And mine doesn’t make yogurt! If you’ve been hesitating to buy I can tell you that I love mine so much that I bought two! I use them so often that one of them stays on my counter permanently. You won’t regret it!
