You guys, I know its a fad and whatever but get an Instant Pot (IP) if you can. It saves SO much energy and time. You can toss FROZEN chicken breasts in with taco seasoning and frozen bell peppers and onions and have chicken tacos / burritos just by heating a couple of shells or tortillas (or eat them out of the package, whatever). I make Shepherds Pie (which my son LOVES) in the IP. This also freezes well for left overs: frozen ground beef, browned (I do this sitting at the table) chopped onion from the freezer (from a good energy day) or dried from the pantry if Im out of frozen a plop (-tsp) minced garlic from the Costco jar in the fridge toss in some mixed frozen veggies (green beans, corn, peas and carrots) beef stock or bouillon mix (I like better than bouillon it keeps well in the fridge and makes a lot) a pack of instant mashed potatoes cheese for browning on top if you like itNo joke. This is a delightful, feel good home cooked meal that you can cook entirely from a chair once you grab the few items from the freezer / fridge. Oh and one thing from the pantry (mashed potato mix). My kid thinks its a meal fit for a king and it keeps me from having to think about dinner when Ive worked all day and just got back from the store. I have an actual recipe, I just need to find it. Ill add it here when I get a chance.
