25 Instant Pot Recipes That Will Make Your Super Bowl Party Prep Ridiculously Easy
If you're at a Team Delish Super Bowl party (lucky you!), you'll find that we think the food you serve is just as important as the game, right? If not, get on board—get your appetizer and entrée table stocked with all the classics (like cheesy dips, ribs, and Buffalo wings) so you’ll feel like a winner no matter how well your team does. It can be intimidating to cook for a hungry Super Bowl crowd, so you’re going to want to pull out the big guns: your Instant Pot! We’ve got 25 Instant Pot appetizer recipes to help you with all your Super Bowl prep this year. They’re easy and quick, so you can spend more time cheering for your team (and watching all those wild commercials 😉) than on cooking and cleanup.
It’s truly amazing how much the Instant Pot can do. Need Super Bowl snacks? Try prepping chicken wings, street corn queso, hard-boiled eggs, pizza dip, or turkey meatballs in there. Of course, things like toasting buns, broiling cheese, deviling eggs, and slicing toppings and add-ons can’t all happen in your Instant Pot, but it sure does cut down active prep time immensely.
Looking for something more substantial for a big game day crowd? The Instant Pot can also turn out hearty, Super Bowl-friendly dishes, like lasagna, mac & cheese, baked potatoes, chili, and pulled pork. Speaking of pulled pork, one of our absolute things to use our Instant Pot for is to cook a large amount of shredded meat that we can then use to top everything from tacos to sweet potatoes. Check out our Instant Pot shredded beef nachos, our Instant Pot pork carnitas, our Instant Pot spicy chicken tacos, or our Instant Pot Buffalo chicken sliders to see what we mean, then get creative.
