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!   You can watch the video here:  YouTube

Savings Saturday, May 3rd

 As we are trying to drill down on our budget and add to our savings, I decided to have a little fun with it.  We headed to Barnes & Noble and purchased 2 Word Find books, one is 365 Days of Puzzles and the other is a book of Bible Puzzles.  The 365 Puzzle book is pretty interesting in that it varies in topic.  My puzzles for Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday of this week were:  Monday: Disco [Puzzle 50], I found 10 words in 6 minutes. Tuesday: Quantum Mechanics [Puzzle 192], 5 words in 4 minutes. Wednesday: Languages of Africa [Puzzle 299], 6 words in 4 minutes. So my total to go into savings for the first week: $21.00 Savings Total for this challenge: $21.00. I have decided to only do a puzzle on the weekdays, but not the weekends for this challenge.  Why?  Being honest, there are some days/some weeks, like end of the month that get a bit overwhelming.  Only doing a puzzle 5 days per week, gives me an opportunity to do one on the weekend if the ...
