Instant Pot Honey Mustard Chicken Sausage

I made this last night for dinner in my 6 Qt Instant Pot. Quick prep and clean up, and it was delicious! As with most of my Instant Pot recipes, if you don’t have the sausage, you can do substitutions. Pork Chops, Boneless Chicken Breasts, or Chicken Thighs, just to name a few! After all, it’s all about the sauce!!

Ingredients

• Chicken Sausage or substitution meat
• 1 Cup Water
• 1 1/2 Cups Mayonnaise
• 1/2 Cup Honey
• 1/2 Cup Spicy Mustard

1. Place meat on rack in pot. Add water. Pressure cook for 6 minutes on High, Natural Release, 5 minutes.
2. Remove meat, drain all but 1/2 Cup of water.
3. Whisk together Mayonnaise, Honey and Mustard in a bowl, and add to water. Whisk until smooth and add meat, coating in sauce.
4. Saute mixture until it starts to bubble ( 3-5 minutes-keep an eye on it!). Set Instant Pot to Keep Warm and cover for 15 minutes.

This smooth and creamy sauce is a great alternative to the usual jarred sauces (so much SALT!!). Enjoy!!

Cheesy Pizza Bean Chili

This recipe is a twist on original chili, using some pizza ingredients to make it special. It’s perfect comfort food for these trying times. Cooks up fast and freezes great, so you can make a large batch and have it another night so you don’t have to cook!!

• 1/3 cup Dried Basil OR Fresh Basil
• Black Pepper to taste
• 1 cup Sliced Green/Yellow/Red Peppers (whichever you prefer!)
• 1 large Onion, sliced
• 1 lb bag of Frozen Corn

PREHEAT OVEN TO 400F degrees

1. Rinse beans in colander (removes salt)
2. Saute onions, peppers and spices in oil in hot pan
