You're planning, shopping, baking, hosting, wrapping, partying and doing all the things these days. There's no denying December can be hectic, but when you're looking at your to-do list and trying to figure out what you can skip, don't let it be dinner. You need to eat! And your all-in-one Instant Pot can help you make super satisfying meals that'll only taste like you spent hours in the kitchen.
Sit down to a hearty bowl of chicken and dumplings way quicker than you ever thought possible. Thanks to an Instant Pot, you can get this always comforting meal on the table in only 40 minutes. (We promise not to tell your mom you're replacing her classic recipe.)

There's no shame in feeding your family the boxed stuff — we've all done it. But when you can make the creamiest homemade mac and cheese in only a half-hour, why not? This 5-star recipe comes together entirely in the Instant Pot, which means you won't even have to wash a colander when you're done.

If you love the keto diet or you simply love someone who does, this is the recipe for you. It's super satisfying, thanks to three kinds of meat, and its great flavor comes from a hearty dose of chili powder, cumin and a poblano pepper. You won't be able to resist this slow-simmered taste that doesn't take hours to achieve.

You didn't know your Instant Pot could handle a whole chicken, did you? That's right: Put the days of cooking an entire chicken, then shredding the meat, simmering the vegetables and sitting down to a soothing bowl hours later far behind you. This easy recipe gives you all the meat, vegetables and noodles in a savory broth you crave in only 45 minutes.

We can all thank the slow cooker for turning beef stew into a weeknight possibility. But the tricky, dare we say inconvenient, part about using the slow cooker is that it requires you to plan ahead. If you simply can't spare a minute in the morning, we totally get you. There's no need to plan dinner before you've even left the house for work. Just know your Instant Pot's got your back, and it'll never make you wait eight hours for melt-in-your-mouth meat and tender vegetables.
