Instant Pot Lasagna

You might feel like making lasagna in a pressure cooker is crazy. Don't you need an oven for those crunchy edges? To make sure the meat is cooked through? How can anyone make lasagna without baking it? Well, trust us - this one is well worth making. If you have a 6- or 7-inch springform pan and you kept the trivet that came with your Instant Pot, you can make a delicious layered lasagna pie in 30 minutes. And if you want to make it ahead, you can prep the lasagna, put it in the freezer, then put it right into the Instant Pot for an easy dinner.

Ingredients

Oops! Something went wrong. Our team is working on it.

Original recipe (1X) yields 4 servings

2 teaspoons olive oil
1 pound ground beef
1 teaspoon salt
1 (6 ounce) package no-boil lasagna noodles, broken into large pieces
1 ½ cups marinara sauce, or to taste
2 cups fresh spinach
1 (8 ounce) package shredded mozzarella cheese
1 (8 ounce) package soft goat cheese

Directions

Turn on a multi-cooker (such as Instant Pot) and the select Saute function. Heat olive oil; add ground beef and salt. Cook, breaking it into clumps with a spatula, until thoroughly browned, about 6 minutes. Transfer beef to a bowl. Wash the pot and return it to the machine.
Pour 1 1/2 cup water into the pot. Set the metal trivet inside.
Arrange lasagna pieces over the bottom of a 6-inch springform pan. Ladle 1/3 the tomato sauce on top; add 1/3 of the cooked beef and 1/3 of the fresh spinach. Dollop 1/2 the mozzarella cheese on top. Repeat layers using 1/2 the goat cheese. Repeat once more, finishing with remaining mozzarella and goat cheese on top.
Tent the top of the lasagna loosely with aluminum foil. Lower it gently onto the trivet. Close and lock the lid. Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 20 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build. Release pressure using the natural-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, 10 to 40 minutes. Unlock and remove lid.
Set oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.
Transfer the springform pan carefully to a baking sheet. Broil until cheese on top is lightly browned and bubbling, about 5 minutes.

Cranberry-Orange Shortbread Cookies with Apricots

I was searching to make the perfect citrus-y cranberry shortbread cookie, but it always felt like something was missing. So on a final attempt, when I didn't have enough dried cranberries to make a full recipe, I threw in some dried apricots and bam! That was it! They add the perfect backdrop flavor to these shortbread cookies!

Jamaican Saltfish Fritters (Stamp and Go)

Jamaican fritters are a popular appetizer in Jamaica. Just stamp them out in the kitchen, take some for the road and go! Salt cod can be prepared the day before for a quicker cook time. These are also good served with a spicy dipping sauce.

A chicken and stuffing crockpot recipe is always delicious and easy. Great to come home to a fully cooked meal that's ready to eat straight from the slow cooker!

Southern Ham and Brown Beans

This Southern pinto beans recipe with ham is the same one my mother's side of the family has been making for years, but I've added my own special touch. This recipe is also very good with diced ham and a can of chopped green chiles added. Serve it with cornbread, fried potatoes, and fried cabbage.

Pear Banana Berry Bake

The combination of fruit in this dish really compliment each other. It can be made a day before serving. That is if you can keep in the fridge with out anyone sneaking a bite! It's that good! Sometimes we double the topping part.
