Prep this delicious taco filling in 5 min – you only need two ingredients! Then, set it and forget it for hearty tacos. Make it a party and have everyone pick out their own toppings, we’re talking Guacamole, Poco Picante Salsa, Chipotle Aioli, pickled onions, queso fresco, and cilantro. This meal will give everyone something to taco bout!

Barbacoa is a classic, crave-worthy, shredded taco filling. Slow cooking tenderizes the meat while absorbing all those big, bold flaves of ancho and smoky chipotle peppers, garlic, and oregano. The heat sits at medium, so it’s still family-friendly. You can always “cool it” with a dollop of creamy Guacamole.

Looking to spice up your next taco night? Bursting with bold flavours of chili, tomato and aromatic spices, these tacos are great for pool parties, birthdays, or just a regular Tuesday. Get ahead of the game by preparing a big batch of barbacoa in your slow cooker or pressure cooker and freeze until it’s taco time.

Embrace cozy comfort with an easy chicken corn chowder that’s perfect for casual evenings and impressing guests alike! This chowder can be made in a programmable pressure cooker or slow cooker. The slow cooker version is less thick, perfect if you prefer a thinner soup!

Turn up the heat on soup! We love this spicy flavour (use only 1 tbsp for kiddos) and all the benefits black beans bring to the table. Nutritional powerhouses, black beans are bursting with plant-based protein, they support digestive health, and they promote cardiovascular and bone health. And yes, they taste great, too!

This classic soup is loaded with rich beef flavour but doesn’t skimp on the veggies. The perfect meal to come home to on a chilly day.

Prep in 10 min, then set it and forget it! Works with an Instant Pot or slow cooker.

Inspired by a Cuban favourite Ropa Vieja, the name translates as “old rags” as the shreds of crumpled beef resemble them. The classic recipe is a saucy mix of meat, sweet bell peppers, onion and tangy olives. It’s typically made with flank steak, but we love how pot roast guarantees tender, flavourful juicy shreds. We also love the time-saving, hands-off Instant Pot™ approach versus simmering away for hours on the stovetop. This dish is very rich – so a little goes a long way! For a traditional presentation, serve with rice and black beans.

This family-style meal is a budget saver. Make it in the Instant Pot™…and you’ll save time too! A classic pot roast dinner can slow simmer in the oven for up to 4 hours. Plug in the Instant Pot™ and you’ll have dinner on the table in an hour while saving on electricity too!
