30 Minute Instant Pot Meals

Most of my recipes I would classify as easy recipes and a lot of them are made with minimal prep time. However when it comes to making an Instant Pot recipe from start to finish you have to include the coming to pressure time (about 10 minutes) along with the pressure release time. So although my recipes require very little babysitting most of the time they are not made in 30 minutes or less. However today I've compiled a list of 10 recipes that can be made in 30 minutes or less from start of prep to scooping onto your plate. These recipes are perfect for a busy weeknight! Enjoy!
