Wine Pot Roast
Are you ready for a super easy recipe? That’s exactly what this recipe is! I have a vegan and beef recipe posted below to please all food loving beings. Oh and this recipe is not spicy-AT ALL! In fact, it’s so easy you pretty much just dump, set, and go. In other words, I put everything in the Instant Pot, set a timer, and walk out of the door (or spend time with my kids!) How awesome is it that you can tell this magical machine to make dinner at a certain time leaving you with a hot and ready meal when you get home? It’s a gift from the unknown, really! This is a perfect meal for those busy errand days AND it’s my version of broccoli and beef + pot roast combined in one meal!
Mom life is real and finding time to make healthy meals is a challenge if you ask me. Kids have soccer, baseball, basketball, dance, swimming, etc… There is just no time to get home and make dinner, am I right? I like to use my Instant Pot on those days.
Now, I’ve always enjoyed a great pot roast ever since I was a kid, and I also enjoy broccoli and beef. So when I combined this recipe to host both dishes in one, it kind of made me feel accomplished. Then again, the Instant Pot changed my life by making the super long pot roast process much shorter. No dutch oven or long hours needed here-just an Instant Pot. Actually, I don’t even know how this would turn out in the oven or stove to be honest with you. I bought an Instant Pot almost 4 years ago and this was one of the things I’ve made since then. With some added onions and garlic… the end result is TASTY!
TIP: I have not tried this recipe with chicken so I can not guaranteed the end result.
In fact, I only make a handful of chicken recipes in the Instant Pot. Remember, hard to please tastebuds over here…OOPS. Honest reviews only! I think some chicken variations get chewy in the Instant Pot or it ends up tasting like chicken (you know what I mean when I say this, right?). So yah, I haven’t tasted it with chicken. Therefore, I can’t guarantee amazing end results. Try it with mushrooms only though if you really must eliminate the beef. I personally like it with mushrooms and beef together. But both independently taste great as well.
Enjoy <3 and let me know how you like it. I love hearing from you!
Happy Eating, Folks!
