23 Super Bowl Instant Pot Recipes To Try Out On Sunday
It doesn’t matter what your plans are for the big game, as long as a Super Bowl Instant Pot recipe is involved in some way. Whether you’re tuning in virtually with a Zoom party or simply watching with your dog from the comfort of your couch, it will all be made better with a simple meal scooped right from a pot.
The great thing about an Instant Pot recipe is that it’ll look (and taste) like it required a great deal of effort to make. And yet the opposite is actually true. Once you do the initial chopping and dicing, all you need to do is dump the ingredients into the pot, and kick back while your food basically prepares itself.
This will provide plenty of time to chat with friends, laugh at the hilarious commercials and actually watch the game. Because the last thing you want to do at a party is overthink your food. The joy of an Instant Pot recipe is the minimal effort it requires.
There’s also something really nice about food that goes beyond the usual Super Bowl fare of chips, dips, and cut up veggies. While those things are delicious, it’s the cozy, spicy, savory homemade dishes that can make this mid-winter festivity even better. If that sounds ideal, here are some of the best Instant Pot recipes that will be perfect for the big game.
