      Easy Instant Pot Roast Recipe Using A Frozen Roast

      When I first received my Instant Pot a few years ago, I was clueless as to all of the things I would be able to do with it. I then started searching Pinterest and found so many people were cooking with frozen meat and having dinner ready in 2 hours or less. This was intriguing to me how this was possible? How were they were getting perfectly tender roasts and chicken? I tried a few soup recipes first including my favorite broccoli cheese soup to get the hang of how the Instant Pot worked Then make it a point to find the perfect pot roast recipe. This Instant Pot Coke Pot Roast is not only delicious, but also only takes 1.5 hours to cook!

      Preparation

      Begin by gathering all of your ingredients. Then dump your vegetable oil, garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder and seasoned salt into the instant pot. Turn the Instant Pot on to the saute function. Brown all sides of the roast you can. Depending on the size of your roast you may have to use a separate frying pan to brown your roast. I have only had to do this one time out of the 12 or so times I have made this recipe.

      Cooking

      Once all sides you can access on your roast are browned, turn off the saute feature on the Instant Pot. Be aware the pot will still be very hot. Pour in your beef broth and Coke A Cola. Be careful as this can create steam when you pour in the liquid since the saute feature makes the bottom of the Instant Pot so hot.

      Then continue to make your roast by placing on the lid to your Instant Pot and placing the lid in the sealing position. Set the Instant Pot on manual mode, high pressure for 45 minutes.

      While your roast is cooking slice up your vegetables which will be added in at the end of the 45 minute timer. Peel and dice your carrots and potatoes into 1″ sections. You can also use baby carrots instead of larger carrots that you peel and slice individually slice and cut. Set your vegetables off to the side until the 45 minute cooking time is completed.

      Once the 45 minute cooking time is completed, preform a quick release. Then add in the carrots and potatoes to the instant pot. The vegetables may or may be covered fully by the broth mixture. After your vegetables are added, replace your lid on the Instant Pot in the sealing position. Then set your Instant Pot on Manual High Pressure for 10 minutes.

      After your vegetables have cooked the 10 minutes at high pressure do another quick release. Then your roast and vegetables are ready to eat. I suggest transferring the veggies to a medium sized serving bowl and the meat to a platter for serving.

      This roast also goes great with traditional green beans or our not so traditional green bean casserole!

      Instant Pot Cheese Vegetable Soup: Perfect for a Cold Day

      Cheese Vegetable Soup

      During our amazing carry in soup month at work “Souper December”, my mom made this fantastic cheese vegetable soup I had forgotten about! During this month we made so many good recipes including our broccoli cheddar soup that I love, but this soup takes the cake for creamiest cheese vegetable soup I have ever had! Today I set out to not only recreate this recipe, but also to make it an instant pot recipe! With the nasty weather outside this week, I decided soup was the perfect meal prep to make this weekend. This recipe also made enough for me to take a little to my grandparents.

      Preparation and Cooking

      I started with chopping up the vegetables that needed to cook in the instant pot first, the onion, celery, and potatoes. Then cut the celery and onion in very small pieces and the potatoes in approx 1/2″ sections. Place all the cut up vegetables into the instant pot along with the chicken broth and the frozen vegetables. Setting the instant pot on high pressure for 5 minutes.

      Vegetables in Chicken Broth
      Combine the chicken broth, onion, celery, and onion in the instant pot.

      Once the instant pot has completed it’s cooking cycle, do a quick release. Then add in the Velveeta like cheese, cheddar cheese and cream of chicken soup. Place the Instant Pot on Saute for 10 minutes, gently stir consistently during this time. This will prevent the cheese from sticking to the bottom of the insert.

      Your instant pot cheese vegetable soup is now ready to eat! This soup also freezes well! It is a perfect dish to make ahead for meal prep or for a friend that just had a baby.
