Instant Pot Recipes for Delicious, Easy Winter Dinners

The transition from autumn to winter means more than just adding layers to your wardrobe. It means transitioning to comforting, stick-to-your-ribs meals that can feed your family and provide delicious leftovers. The chicken curry shown here is the perfect example. One of the best and easiest ways to do this is by enlisting the help of a slow cooker or pressure cooker—enter the Instant Pot which can tackle both methods of cooking. Winter may be the season for big, hearty meals, but who says we have to spend all day in the kitchen? This countertop appliance is ideal for cooking the things that we all start to crave as the temperatures drop, and it does it all in half the time (or less!).

Dreaming of that slow-simmered Sunday dinner that you grew up eating every chilly weekend? The Instant Pot will have it on the table in no time, tender winter vegetables and all. Or maybe game day chili is what's on the menu. Make quick work of your favorite recipe by using the pressure cooker setting—the chili will be ready to go in time for kickoff, and maybe even before you finish preparing the toppings.

What we are accustomed to eating on cold winter days—large cuts of meat, soups, stews, chili—are a perfect match for the Instant Pot. Even busy weeknights are no match for these tried-and-true recipes. Enjoy plenty of cozy, cold-weather dinners with these Instant Pot recipes, ideal for winter meals.
