I don’t usually cave to new kitchen gadgets and fads. That’s why I’m new to the Instant Pot game. I’m not usually into ricers, and steamers, and such. And, I didn’t see the need for an instant pot.

Consequently, that all changed when I went to a blog retreat and got to experience first hand how quick and easy an Instant Pot is to use. As well, can I just say how incredibly fun blog retreats are! Take a minute to meet my blogger friends. Here are some of their Instant Pot pressure cooker and other recipes to try.

  1. Instant Pot Beef Barbacoda Tacos from Christy
  2. from Stacey, Instant Pot Stuffed Cabbage Soup
  3. Instant Pot Cubed Steak and Gravy from Brandi
  4. from Liz, Instant Pot Chicken Cacciatore
  5. Instant Pot Butter Beef from Leah
  6. from Melissa, 20 Instant Pot Dinners
  7. and for dessert let’s have Fluffy’s Salted Oreo Bars from Ashley

If you’re late to the game as well, an Instant Pot is a brand of Pressure Cooker. It’s been redesigned, revamped, and updated for the new millennium. And, it pressure cooks recipes in a fraction of the time of stovetop or oven cooking.

Instant Pot Stuffed Bell Peppers is a super simple first recipe to make if you are new to Instant Pot cooking too!

Instant Pot Stuffed Bell Peppers

  1. The stuffing is mixed together in a bowl then stuffed in the peppers and placed in the pressure cooker. From there, the Instant Pot does all the work. In less than 30 minutes, Instant Pot Stuffed Bell Peppers will be ready to serve your family.
  2. A couple of tips, I prefer a lean ground beef for this recipe so that the bottom isn’t swimming in fat. Ground turkey would be wonderful too.
  3. I’m not particularly fond of green bell peppers. Use what you have on hand or what you enjoy the most. As you can see, I used red, yellow, and orange peppers. (This recipe makes 5 stuffed peppers.)
  4. Additionally, I used brown boil-in-a-bag rice, but you can use white rice. It does need to be the quick-cooking boil-in-a-bag kind.

Full of flavor and made with simple ingredients, this recipe is sure to become a family favorite. Sharing this recipe with others at The Country Cook and Southern Bite.

      1 cup, but you may need to cook longer. I did not test with regular rice

    When I cook this in the oven I have to brown the meat cook the rice and boil the peppers until soft. So I don’t have to do any of this?

      No. Not if you cook it in an Instant Pot

    The recipe calls for only 1 cup shredded cheese. Instruction #2 says to add the 1 cup shredded cheese to the beef mixture then later after the peppers are cooked, it says to “Open the lid and pour remaining tomato sauce on top of the peppers followed by the shredded mozzarella cheese.”
    Unless I missed something, there would be no more cheese to add since it was all used up in the beef mixture. What did I do wrong?

    Is it necessary to brown the meat first? If you say “no,” you’ve made my day!!

      I haven’t tried it with cooked meat, I think it would end up dry.
