Happy hump day friends! Now that I have finally gotten an Instant Pot, I'm determined to use it more often. I was craving Philly Cheese Steak so I hit up Pinterest and found this Instant Pot Philly Cheesesteak Pasta. It was pretty tasty!

Ingredients:

1 lb ground beef

1 cup of onion - diced

1/2 tablespoon garlic - minced

1 1/2 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

1 teaspoon kosher salt

1/2 teaspoon pepper

1 cup of bell pepper - chopped

2 tablespoons ketchup

2 cups beef broth

8 oz pasta - ziti, penne, shell. It is not recommended to use egg noodles.

6 oz provolone cheese - sliced

I had already browned my ground beef during meal prep so I didn't follow the recipe exactly. The original recipe calls for Olive Oil, but I didn't use it and just sprayed my IP with Avocado Oil.

Put your already browned ground beef into the IP. Add the onions and garlic and cook for 1 minute.

Add the salt, pepper, Worcestershire sauce, and green peppers. Stir to combine. Cook for another 1-2 minutes.

Stir in the ketchup, beef broth, and pasta.

Cover and seal the lid. (Make sure valve is pointing to SEALED). Select manual setting and adjust time to 5 minutes on High Pressure. Because I was using Whole Wheat Pasta, I should have added another minute.

Once the 5 minutes are done, do a quick release by changing the position of the valve to vent.

Carefully remove the IP lid and stir.

Place the sliced provolone on top of the pasta, let melt (you can place lid slightly overtop if that helps it melt (don’t need to seal it though), then stir. Serve warm.

I hesitate to even call this a recipe. I have been making this super easy, but versatile recipe for years. My ex-grandmother-in-law made hers spicier, but for my young one (at the time I started making this) wasn't a fan of spicy foods. So I created a cheeseburger variety of the meat pie. It's simply Grands biscuits, hamburger meat and cheese. I believe she used the standard biscuit, but I have been using Grands for years. You can absolutely change this up to use different ingredients, but it's a family favorite so I haven't changed it much. I may do a different variety soon to bring to you!

S’mores Protein Bites Recipe You can find the original recipe here from Six Sisters' Stuff. The one below is the way I prepared it. Ingredients 1½ cups Simple Truth Old Fashioned Oats ¼ cup crushed graham cracker crumbs ½ cup Simple Truth almond butter ½ cup raw honey ¼ cup vanilla protein powder (I used Orgain Vanilla Protein Powder) 1 teaspoon vanilla extract ½ cup mini marshmallows ¼ cup mini chocolate chips Instructions Combine all ingredients in a bowl or stand mixer until well combined. Roll dough into 1 inch balls and place on a baking sheet covered with foil or parchment paper. Place in the freezer for about 1 hour, then store in a resealable bag or airtight container in the fridge for up to a week (or in the freezer for up to a month). This original recipe says 15 servings. I am not sure if I used a smaller scoop but I came out with 25 or so. There were a couple that were smaller.
