Red Beans & Rice with Sausage in the Instant Pot
Dave is on a mission to create easy meals in the Instant Pot. On hard days (pre-fifth wheel living) we often made Red Beans and Rice with Sausage on the stove top. A little tweaking, and he was able to perfect the recipe quickly.
I mean, he really does enjoy making elaborate meals that are different and delicious (and yes, sometimes a little weird or complex), but a lot of our friends have said that they were just “getting started” with their IP’s which made him focus more on the simple and easy.
Involved kids!
The kids helped with this one, which is an awesome way for us to get dinner done as well as entertain two little kids. Harrison has been interested in cooking since he was very little and this recipe was just the right level to keep him interested. It helps that he then also ate it (which is a bit hit or miss these days — ah, toddlers).
As always, Dave made an awesome video showing his process creating Red Beans and Rice with Sausage in our Instant Pot. Check it out! He posts video every week with recipes, tiny living life (on occasion), and often some time lapse videos of clouds. Haha, a well rounded YouTube channel. Make sure to subscribe! It really does make his day.
