  1. Are you sure if you “Make It Now” you should cook for 45 min on HP? Nom Nom Paleo has an IP chili recipe using fully cooked meat and chopped veggies and they only need 15 minutes. Worried that 45 would turn cherries/veggies (especially canned tomatoes) to total mush.

    1. This is one where I’d sure try a lower time, it can’t hurt :). Waiting 45 minutes for an instant pot meal isn’t my idea of “instant” . :). I can cook a whole roast from frozen in that period of time.

    1. Great question, Reta! Anything in orange is a link, which when clicked on, will open a new tab to either an affiliate’s product or another recipe to make the item from scratch. You absolutely do not need to follow the items down to the brand and can buy store bought rather than make fresh -these are just our suggestions of our favorite brands and/or to meet dietary needs on certain recipe types.

  2. I agree 45 min seems way too long from either fresh or frozen. Are you sure it’s not 15 min? Has anyone else tried this recipe?

    1. All of our recipes have been tested by test cooks who have assured us that 45 minutes is the correct time frame. However, if anyone does try this and finds it takes less time; we encourage you to let us know what worked best for you!
