#beginner instant pot dinner recipes
Note
Do you have any one pot recipes? I’m a beginner level cook if you can call it that and I get so stressed out by too many pots and pans and mess
I don't really cook a lot of one-pot dishes the way you might be envisioning. My only one-pot dish is macaroni and cheese, but that recipe uses an instant pot. I think of shepherd's pie as a one-pot dish but it's actually a 3-pot dish (I wash the first two dishes while it's finishing in the oven in the 3rd dish).
If you're okay with two-dish meals, then these might be helpful. About 75% of my cooking these days come from one of these resources:
One Dish Kitchen - single portion meals. Her coq au vin is my favorite. I make it with mashed potatoes.
Cooking For One - from America's Test Kitchen. The beef and broccoli is my favorite here. (I found this book at my library and tried a few recipes first before buying my own copy.) I use microwave minute rice a lot.
I'm a big fan of risotto. Cook the protein (chicken, scallop, shrimp, whatever you like) in the oven and prepare the risotto stove-top in a sauce pan or a skillet. You'll need a second pot for stock/broth, but you can also do risotto in a pressure cooker/Instant Pot to cut down on the dishes.
I also like to do sheet pan dinners, where I roast a protein and veggies on the same baking sheet and then make a sauce stove-top while that's in the oven. I usually do salmon and broccoli with a lemon garlic sauce or chicken, asparagus, and potatoes with a butter sauce.
And it's not a sheet pan dinner, it's a skillet dinner but I love doing a porkchop in a skillet and when the meat is resting, sauteeing veggies in the same skillet with some additional butter or olive oil.
(My recipes for risotto, lemon garlic sauce, and butter sauce were from the internet but I've had them for so long that I can't find them online anymore. If you're interested, I'm happy to write them up and share! I think they're pretty easy - I found them when I was a beginner cook myself, having just moved out on my own 10 years ago.)
I was just gifted Compact Cooking and while I haven't cooked from it yet, all the recipes look good and manageable for a novice who doesn't want a lot of mess! You can find a lot of her recipes on Instagram and TikTok if you don't want to buy the book just yet.

11 One Pot Backpacking Meals to Make Trailside Cooking Easy

Tumblr media
Meals in Jar recipes are the perfect way to use your dehydrated foods, along with pantry staples, to create long-term food storage meals for your family. They also make great kits for easy meals for those weeknights when you don't have time to prep.Those nights when you are on a tight schedule from kids' school activities or you've had a really rough day are the nights when you tend to reach for the phone for take-out pizza or a drive-thru.Like creating freezer meals, meals in a jar are handy prepared meals you have in your pantry that can be thrown into a pot of water to cook, and save you a ton of time from meal prep.Benefits of Meals in a JarQuick easy meals that are ready for camping or busy weeknight meals. Easy way to store meals for long-term food storage without the need to constantly prep a meal. Create 'instant' meals to your tastes and nutritional levels and philosophies. Many of the instant meals from long-term food storage companies are high in salt and carbs - you can adjust any of these to meet your needs. Make use of your long-term food storage. Whether you've invested in freeze-dried products, or dehydrate your own, or stock dry goods, you can put them to use in ready-made meals. Perfect for emergencies. Whether natural disasters, power outages, earthquakes, or personal situations where health situations prohibit you from meal prep, these meals require less water and energy to prepare as opposed to many traditional recipes. Help friends and family. Give the gift of food storage to those who may be in need. Elderly friends and relatives who can't prep foods, those suffering from illnesses, neighbors in need, new and expectant parents, and families suffering loss are all prime examples of those who may need quick meals that need little prepping for comfort and nutrition. If you would like an ad-free, e-version of this post to keep on your desktop, phone, tablet, etc., you can purchase it in my shop.Best Meals in a Jar RecipesFor these recipes, we're going to be sticking to meals in a jar and side accompaniments that are primarily self-contained. There will be a few that need a couple of extra ingredients to finish.We will be staying away from meals in a jar that require a ton of dairy or other fresh ingredients that cannot be replicated with freeze-dried or dehydrated alternatives. We'll also stay away from dessert or salad in a jar things that should stay fresh.We also want to keep these mixes shelf-stable for long-term as much as possible, so things like granola won't be included.My hope is to give you viable, good, shelf-stable options for meals in a jar recipes at every one of these vetted links to help you build your pantry with long-term pantry storage.TIPS FOR SUBSTITUTION:Many of these recipes may contain products that are from a specific freeze-dried company. You do not have to use that ingredient from that company. You can use your own dehydrated foods, or a freeze-dried company of your choice. Quantities are equal, but some dehydrated foods take up more volume or space. But quantities aren't written in stone. You can change the mixes up easily to your preference. Give yourself a little extra time in rehydrating/cooking when using dehydrated vs freeze dried. It may take a little longer. Use a thermos to rehydrate/cook in if you are on the go If you need a truly instant-meal, precook all of your ingredients before dehydrating. LEARN MORE: 200+ Dehydrating RecipesWhile I do promote both Augason Farms and Thrive Life Foods, there are quite a few other companies that do sell freeze-dried foods that you can use if you don't want to use your own dehydrated or freeze-dried foods you make.Also, some of these jars will make enough to fill a quart sized mason jar. Some will be enough to fill a pint or pint and a half-sized jar. The latter can be doubled or tripled to go into a larger jar if desired. The smaller recipes are great for backpacking or individual meal sizes.For some of the recipes, you may have to scroll down the page to get to it.Breakfast Meals in a JarBreakfast OmeletCamper's Eggy DelightCaryn's Cheesy Sausage FritattaCherry Chocolate PancakesCinnamon PancakesCranberry Buttermilk Pancake MixHashbrowns and EggsHearty Pancake MixOatmealSweet and Savory CrepesMain Course Meals in a JarABC Sloppy JoesBaked ZitiBeans and Rice CasseroleBeefy Philly CheesesteakBeefy Spanish RiceBurrito Bowl Meal in a JarCheesy Sloppy Joe HotdishChicken AlfredoChicken and RiceChicken Broccoli CheeseChicken Broccoli Stir FryChicken ChiliChicken Noodle Skillet MealChicken Salad in a JarChiliChili MacCous Cous with Chicken and Vegetables (serves 1 - pint jar)Creamy Chicken Veggie CasseroleCreamy Tomato Pasta PrimaveraCurry Rice with Chicken and Cashews (for long-term storage, omit cashews or add at the last minute since nuts are best stored in the freezer for long-term) (serves 1 - pint jar)Double Cheeseburger Sauce MixFiesta Rice with Corn (serves 1 - pint jar)Francesca's Unstuffed PeppersHamburger StewHawaiin Style Teriyaki BeefHearty Beef and Bean ChiliHearty ChiliInstant Chicken SaladJambalayaKansas City Chicken BBQKicked Up Mac n CheeseMac and CheesePotato Cheese Sausage CasseroleQuicheRosemary Chicken and RiceSausage FrittataSausage LasagnaSloppy JoesSpaghetti Sauce with MeatStroganoff SkilletStuffed Chicken and GravyTaco Beef and Cheese Thai Chicken in Spicy Peanut SauceThree Bean ChiliTurkey Noodle CasseroleSoup Meals in a JarAsparagus SoupBean SoupBeef Barley SoupBeefy Bean SoupBeef StewBeef and Bean StewBeef and Zucchini QuicheBuffalo Chicken and RiceCaryn's Chicken Noodle SoupChicken and Rice SoupChicken Noodle Soup in a Jar (add freeze-dried chicken to make a complete shelf-stable meal)Chipotle Corn ChowderCream Soup MixCreamy Tomato SoupCreamy Wild Rice Mushroom SoupCurried Lentil SoupFriendship SoupGood Luck SoupHam Sausage and Bean SoupInstant Cheese Soup Instant Creamy Asparagus SoupItalian Wedding SoupLentil and Rice SoupLoaded Baked Potato Soup (recipe is in the description box of the video)Love SoupMinestrone Soup Nancy's Chicken Noodle SoupNoodle Soup in a JarPainted Desert Chili in a JarPalouse SoupPotato Sausage SoupPotato SoupPrairie Garden Vegetable SoupSoup StartersSplit Pea SoupTaco Soup Texas Two-Step SoupTortilla SoupTurkey and StuffingVegetable Quinoa Soup with LentilsZombie Soup MixThe following recipe for Sauce or Soup mix is used with permission from the Utah State University Extension List.

But I know it's so convenient to have something handy to have that isn't attached to your computer or tablet!So here are some recommended recipe books for making your own meals in a jar for your long-term storage.Meals in a Jar: Quick and easy, Just-Add-Water, Homemade Recipes by Julie Languille The Meals in a Jar Handbook: Gourmet Food Storage Made Easy by Stephanie Petersen Dinner is in the Jar: Quick and Easy Dinner Mixes in Mason Jars or Mylar Bags by Kathy Clark Quick and Easy Dehydrated Meals in a Bag by Tammy Gangloff (of The Ultimate Dehydrator Cookbook fame, which also has some meals in a bag options.) Ultimate Dehydrator Cookbook by Tammy Gangloff Not only is this a great technique book on how to dehdyrate those products that can build your meals in a jar, she includes a lot of "just add water" meals, too! Do It Yourself Prep N Store by Janice Paveglio Gunther (I have not read this one or cooked from it, but I looked through the beginning information that was available and it looked like she had solid information) Look to Backpacking Recipe books for other meals that you can also put into your storage. They may not be 'in the jar' and are usually geared more towards single or double serving meals in a bag, but they can be used easily translated to your family serving size.A caveat to these kinds of recipes is that they may often use oils/fats while cooking and meats. For long-term storage, omit the oils and fats (they aren't usually needed), and look to freeze-dried meats for more optimal storage.The Dehydrator Cookbook for Outdoor Adventurers: Healthy, Delicious Recipes for Backpacking and Beyond by Julie Mosier Recipes for Adventure: Healthy, Hearty and Homemade Backpacking Recipes by Chef Glenn McAllister Cooking a Meal in a Jar in a Solar Oven Cook your "Meal in a Thermos" while you hike How to Store Meals in a JarYou can store meals in a jar mixes in variety of ways:Canning jars (also known as mason jars) Any airtight container - spaghetti jars, queso jars, or other glass containers that are airtight. Hard sided plastic containers (not the more pliable) will also work Mylar bags - these are reusable and great for camping and can be sealed with a simple heat seal with an iron or vacuum sealer, or vacuum sealed with an O2 absorber Vacuum-sealed plastic storage bags as is used with many vacuum sealers Zip-top bags for short-term storage (less than a week). LEARN MORE: Quick Guide to Vacuum SealingMeals in a jar recipes will last easily last a year or two, and you may get even longer - 5+ years, but the quality and texture may begin to decline at that point.Certain foods like tomatoes don't have as long of a shelf-life as other foods, and meats are better used freeze-dried than dehydrated for longer shelf-life goals.Proper storage is also necessary. Cool, dark, dry places are best for storage. If you have proteins, storing them in the freezer is optimal, and they can be pulled out at any time for a backpacking/hiking trip with no issues.Using Oxygen AbsorbersThese can be used in your jars to help control the shelf life of your meal in a jar recipe. They are not necessary but can be helpful. You can learn all about how they work and if you really need them (you really don't) with this handy guide on storing dehydrated foodsHelpful Tips for Creating Meals in a JarUse Instant Rice or Instant Beans. For those ingredients that take longer to prepare, using dehydrated rice or dehydrated beans can cut your time down. Mark your packages: Mark your bags or attach a recipe sheet to your jars. Having the correct directions on how to prepare or what more needs to be added. Mylar can be written on with sharpie markers. You can write on the lid of a jar, tape a recipe card to the outside, etc. Never assume you'll remember! Interchange recipes. You'll often find recipes online that are built from freeze-dried foods only. While a little adjustment in the time to rehydrate may be different, you can easily replace freeze-dried with dehydrated foods. Using dehydrated foods - consider cooking your vegetables fully then dehydrating to make the end product a little quicker to reconstitute. Preparing Meals in a Jar RecipesUsually simmering in enough water to replace the original water is enough, though I suggest a little extra to make up for loss in simmering and the extra sometimes needed to rehydrate. But follow the above recipe suggestions for best results as all will vary.Tools for rehydrating meals in a jarSaucepans Fondue pots -surprisingly, these are excellent in emergency situations as they require nothing but a candle or other fuel source that is easy to store, and can be used to simmer smaller meal portions during power outages. Look for older non-electric fondue pots in thrift stores for less expensive options. Thermoses Other Helpful Resources for Meals in a Jar RecipesRainy Day Food StorageTips to convert recipes:Many recipes you already cooked can be made into a meal in a jar recipe. Some helpful tips to covert recipes you already love are:Stock: Replace 1 quart of stock with 1 ½ tablespoons bouillion. Then use 1 quart water to make soup Vegetables: Use ⅓ cup of dehydrated or freeze dried vegetables to replace 1 cup of fresh. Remember that dehydrated vegetables may need a little extra time to rehydrate and cook, so meals that allow simmering work best. Milk: Use ⅓ cup milk powder to replace 1 cup milk (and ⅔ cup water) Ground Beef: 2 Cups freeze-dried ground beef for 1 pound of beef Chicken: 2 ½ Cups freeze-dried chicken for 1 pound of beef Meals in a Jar Frequently Asked Questions:How long do meals in a jar last?Typically, most meals in a jar will last a year to three years by the safest standards of the National Center for Home Food Preservation.However, using the proper storage standards listed above, you may get 5 or more years out of them. Just remember, things like tomatoes have a shorter long-term life and may begin to degrade a little faster than the rest of your dehydrated goods, so be sure to rotate often!Meats should also be freeze-dried as opposed to dehydrated for best storage results.Can I use freeze-dried foods?Yes! In fact, I recommend using freeze-dried meats for all of my long-term storage of dried foods. They are prepared in a different way than dehydrating and can be shelf-stable for up to 25 years (unopened) and then longer than typical dehydrated meats on the shelf opened.My favorite places to purchase freeze-dried foods are Thrive Life and Augason Farms, depending on who is running the better sale.However, if you are concerned about storing meats long-term from a dehydrated or already opened, freeze-dried state, you can always keep your meat in the freezer and just add it as you put the meal on the stovetop to cook.Can I replace freeze-dried with dehydrated food?Yes, they are usually interchangeable in any meal. Just remember dehydrated foods may take a little longer to reconstitute. And if they were not dehydrated from a fully cooked state, they will also need time to cook.Can I store salads in a jar on the shelf?Unfortunately, salads in a jar type recipes are still meant for safe refrigerated storage but can help extend the life of your greens when vacuum sealed. They are not safe for shelf-stable storage, which is why they are not included in this list.Do I have to use a mason jar to store meals in a jar recipes?Use mylar bags with or without oxygen absorbers, food storage bags, airtight containers, and commercial glass jars with airtight seals. Zip top bags are to be used for very short-term storage only (think a week or so).Can I do any meal and put into a jar?Unfortunately, just any meal doesn't dry and qualify for shelf-stable meal in a jar storage. Many foods are high in fats/oils, or aren't considered shelf-stable.So while you can do a bulk load of spaghetti sauce and noodles with meat, drying it once cooked is easy, but the meat may not be shelf-stable because of the fat content, and any oil used in the sauce can also create an issue.This is why freeze-dried proteins and non-fat dairy are suggested for storage.However, these meals would be fine for short-term backcountry/hiking meals, or can be stored in the freezer until needed.Do items need to be kept separate?With some mixes, the soups need different cooking times. A vegetable quinoa soup might need the quinoa cooked separately. Or in the case of a mac and cheese meal, the sauce components are bagged separately, then inserted into the top of the jar. Each recipe should notate if this might be necessary.Can I make my own freeze-dried foods?Yes! You can freeze-dry single ingredients or whole meals using a freeze-dryer. They usually have a longer shelf-life than dehydrated foods making your meals in a jar last much longer.The Harvest Right Freeze Dryer is the premiere home freeze-dryer on the market (much like Excalibur was 15 years ago). It is an investment, but for those serious about long-term food storage and control of your own food, it might be an investment worth making rather than purchasing from various companies.Conclusion:There are so many resources for meals in a jar on the internet. Some are great for long-term storage, and some are made more for the effect of storing in a jar but might be better used for short-term gift giving.Either way - play, explore, make up your own recipes! You'll love the benefit of having shelf-stable meals ready for your family for easy meals, emergency meals, and opportunities to serve other people who may be in need of a hot meal that you can help them store.Do you have a favorite you'd love to share with us?▢ 2 ½ cups quick cook elbow macaroni ▢ ½ cup freeze dried protein (beef crumbles, sausage or diced chicken) ▢ ⅔ cup cheese powder ▢ 3 tablespoons instant non-fat dry milk ▢ ¼ cup taco seasoning mix ▢ 1.5 tablespoons butter powder ▢ ½ teaspoon salt ▢ ¼ teaspoon white pepper ▢ ½ cup vegetable powder (optional) ▢ 2 ½ cups water Use only 2 cups if omitting vegetable powder ▢ 3 cups water Store Place pasta and protein into the bottom of a quart jar or mylar bag Place dry ingredients into a zip top bag and place on top of pasta mix Close the jar or bag as desired (vacuum seal, use an O2 absorber or simply close) Store for 2 years easily, up to 5 years in most cases Vacuum seal or use an O2 absorber for best results See Notes To Prepare Heat 3 cups of water to rehydrate the pasta and protein. Allow pasta to soak while preparing the sauce Add 2.5 cups of water to dry ingredients Mix thoroughly and allow to sit an rehydrate while pasta rehydrates Mix with pasta and serve. Notes: If using regular pasta, cook it first (you can rehydrate the protein in the same water), drain, then go into the next steps. You can use some of that pasta water to mix the dry ingredients to form your sauce. For ease, you can cook all the ingredients together. The sauce may clump and it may take more time to mix together, but given time, the ingredients will mix properly. Storage: Store in an airtight container for up to two years in a dark, cool, dry place.Calories: 373kcal | Carbohydrates: 62g | Protein: 14g | Fat: 4g | Saturated Fat: 1g | Polyunsaturated Fat: 0.5g | Monounsaturated Fat: 1g | Trans Fat: 0.2g | Cholesterol: 15mg | Sodium: 1034mg | Potassium: 433mg | Fiber: 4g | Sugar: 15g | Vitamin A: 1802IU | Vitamin C: 16mg | Calcium: 90mg | Iron: 2mgNutritional information is an estimation only.

Weekly meal planning
Tumblr media
#WEEKLY MEAL PLANNING HOW TO#
It’s a great way to figure out exactly what you need before you head out for groceries too! I like to use a printable to keep track of what meals are planned for the week. Getting organized with a meal planning printable This could mean something as simple as throwing a frozen pizza in the oven or any meal that is super easy to prepare. Keep a couple of easy dinner meals on hand for when you’ve had an exhausting day at work and the last thing you feel like doing is spend time in the kitchen. But if we opt for fast food or dinner out instead of our meal plan, any cost savings could be eliminated. The main purpose of meal planning is to cut stress and save money. Sometimes our days or schedules do not go as planned. Each night I choose from one of these options instead of deciding ahead of time. I might know that we have breakfast for dinner, spaghetti, and hamburgers on our dinner list. I do this instead of assigning a meal to a specific day. Making sure to keep in mind any nights that you know you’ll have less time to cook, assign a meal to each day.Īs an alternative, you can just keep a list of meals to choose from for the week. For example, Mexican night could be tacos, chicken night could be stir-fry, and beef night could be hamburgers. Decide on your meals for the weekĬonsidering your themes, decide what meals you’d like to have for dinner in the upcoming week. If it’s a winner, then you can add it into the rotation for next time! 5. Mix up the weekly routine by trying a new recipe each week. Want to meal plan but don’t want to be locked into the same meals each week?Ĭonsider trying a new cooking method like crockpot recipes or instant pot recipes. READ MORE: 17 Theme Nights to Simplify Meal Planning 4. You can mix and match these meal plan theme ideas to create your personalized plan for the week! You can also plan your meals based around a particular protein each night like beef, seafood, vegetarian, or chicken. Ethnic themes are another easy way to think of meals for your menu plan: Italian, Asian, Mexican, American, etc. You can create meal plan themes by how it’s prepared such crockpot meals, stir-fry meals, instant pot, casserole, or freezer meals. Wednesday – Whatever Wednesday (leftovers).One easy way to figure out meals for the week is to come up with themes that recur on a particular day. Use theme nights to make make meal planning easier Using up what you already have in the house will help keep those food costs lower too! 3. These items are a great starting point for your weekly meal plan. Save money by using food you already haveĭo you have anything half-used in the fridge or pantry? Or maybe you have something approaching expiration like a carton of eggs? If you have weekends free, you can use the extra time to prepare a more complicated meal. If you know you’ll be late from work one particular day, that would be a great day to stick with an easier meal. When you create your meal plan, you’ll want to keep in mind what you have going on during the week. What do you have planned for the upcoming week? Are there certain nights that are busier with school, sports, or other activities? Consider your schedule when you create your meal plan Note: Some links in this post are affiliate links, which means I receive a commission if you make a purchase.
