What To Cook In Your Slow Cooker Or Instant Pot

{ Via: Williams Sonoma }

Am I the only one that has not tried an Instant Pot? In a nutshell, an instant pot is really just a modernized pressure cooker. It's quick and rather healthy cooking. The slow cooker has been around since the early crock pot days. I have had one for that long. It is easy hands free cooking. These 12 recipes, along with  Insta Pots and Slow Cookers are meant to get us all out of the kitchen faster and  easier.

Slow Cooker Saucy Sunday Bolognese Pasta

Sunday pasta. Now that's a concept that "Mr. Shop This" enjoyed as a child. Maybe it is time I embrace the tradition. This recipe begins with browning the meat in a separate pan. It is a necessary step. A beautiful bowl, right?

Instant Pot Lasagna

My first thought was how does this pasta keep its' shape? It's the springform pan that you build the layers in. And to raise it up in your pot, you use a trivet. Genius.

Chili is what I use my slow cooker recipe for the most. This recipe looks so good with the trimmings, it almost doesn't matter what the chili tastes like. Not really. It's said to be filled with all of the buffalo chicken fabulous flavors.
