Hard Boiled Eggs in the Instant Pot

We've been eating more hard boiled eggs lately. I used to boil them on the stove top and then tried the oven method (take a look at that here), but I think the IP method will be the way that we use going forward.  Someone at work recommended them this way as a way that makes them super easy to peel.  Man oh man - she was right!  They are ridiculously easy to peel! 

Let's Get Crafty!
Put about a cup of water at the bottom of the IP and put your steaming rack in.  (Our little metal steaming rack came with the instant pot.)  Then arrange your eggs.  We have the 6 quart IP and 10 eggs fit perfectly.

Select the Egg setting and adjust the time to 10 minutes.  Make sure the vent is set to sealing and then you are good to go. 

After the 10 minutes have finished, release the pressure and put them in ice water.  I started peeling them after just a couple minutes and they were so easy to peel.

Happy Monday Friends!  I hope everyone has a wonderful start to their week.

Chili Bubble Bake

These pictures aren't awesome, but I couldn't not share it because it had three of my goals achieved on a weeknight. (1) Find a way to use the leftover chili in a way that isn't having chili again (2) Get it in the oven quick with limited dishes (3) Chili is also something our kids love, so I knew they would eat it up.


Let's Get Crafty!
Preheat oven to 350

3 cups leftover chili

I put ours in the microwave for 1 1/2 minutes to warm it up so the baking didn't need to include extra time to warm the cold chili.

Get the biscuits ready:
1 can refrigerated biscuits
Cut each biscuit into eight parts

You'll also need:
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese


Layer it up:
Spray pam in a 9x13 casserole dish
Distribute the biscuits evenly in the dish
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Evenly distribute the chili over the top

Bake for 30-35 minutes

This is so easy for a weeknight dinner and the kids did really like it.

Thanks for stopping by.  Have a great day.
