Lanie asked me “I have to go to a bible study and take a main dish. What would you suggest?” Today I give Lanie (and you!) several Instant Pot and slow cooker suggestions for bible study, book group or whatever tribe you’re involved with!
Instant Pot and Slow Cooker Recipe Ideas for your Get-Together
“I have to go to a bible study and take a main dish. What would you suggest?” I love when I get questions like this in my email inbox. It makes me feel like I’m helping you plan your event and it’s touching that you trust me enough to ask my opinion. Many times when I receive a question I ask my 365 Days Facebook group. What a great group of Instant Pot lovers. Here are some of their suggestions as well as some of my own!
Cajun Sausage Potatoes and Green Beans
Colleen and Renee both suggested this 365 Days favorite. It’s a quick and easy one pot meal of cajun-style andouille sausage, quartered red potatoes, fresh green beans and sliced mushrooms. Drizzle the buttery broth over the potatoes for maximum flavor.

Instant Pot No Peek Chicken
Chris said, “If you want no fuss style of meal I’d go with No Peek Chicken.” It’s that easy 3-ingredient chicken and rice recipe from your childhood that has cream of mushroom soup in it. Only this time it’s made in your Instant Pot.

Chicken Salad with Grapes
Diana said, ” Chicken salad with grapes and apples in it. Bread and crackers.” Chicken is pressure cooked or slow cooked and then tossed with the best chicken salad dressing to make a fantastic topping for a bed of lettuce, a bun or croissant.

What Pressure Cooker Do You Use?
I use a 6 quart Instant Pot Duo 60 7 in 1*. I love this Instant Pot because it has the yogurt making function which I use almost weekly. It has two pressure settings (high and low), and there are also little slots in the handles so that you can rest the lid there instead of putting it down on your counter-top.
