30 Instant Pot Recipes with 5 Ingredients or Less

If you’re a beginner to the Instant Pot, I recommend you start with our Beginners post in this series. If you’re running low on time, be sure to check out these 15 Minute Instant Pot recipes and these 30 Minute Instant Pot Recipes.

I love making amazing dinners for my family, but sometimes I just don’t have the ingredients I need. However, I am not good at putting some random ingredients together to make an edible meal. So, I decided to gather up some Instant Pot recipes that only take 5 ingredients or less. NOTE: Most of these recipes do not include salt, pepper, water and basic spices as ingredients, since they assume you already have them.
