Mix mayo, vinegar, sweetener and pepper together. 2. Add broccoli, onion, cheese, bacon and raisins to mayo mixture. Stir well. 3. Refrigerate for four or more hours to let flavors develop. 4. Stir in sunflower seeds just before serving.

I had all the fillings ready for breakfast tacos, but at the last minute decided to skip the tortilla. Potato, Egg, Bacon and Cheese

Chicken is butterflied and pounded, not cubed.

Hi @Kim Shook, I think her time of 35 minutes, and based on your experience, was overly optimistic, even if you had used the Steam Bake setting.

‘Instant Pot’ Chuck Roast and Carrots with Cauliflower ‘Mac’ & Cheese Casserole

I have been using my 8 qt. Stock Pot. I clIp the bags to the side of the pot, making sure the contents of the bags are below the top level of the water. PS: I set the pot on a trivet to keep it up off of the countertop.

Grilled Boneless Chicken Thigh, Cauliflower ‘Mac’ & Cheese Casserole and Garlic Sautéed Spinach

I don’t remember where I originally found this recipe or if I made any changes, it has been years ago. This is the version I use: Jalapeño, Sausage and Cheese Scrambled Egg ‘Muffins’ Servings: 6 Ingredients: - 8 ounces Pork Sausage, ground - 6 Large Eggs, lightly beatened - 4 ounces Cheddar or Monterey Jack or a Blend of Cheeses, shredded - 2 tablespoons Pickled Jalapeño Slices, chopped Directions: 1. Cook sausage until lightly browned and crumbly in a medium-hot fry pan. Drain and let cool on a paper towel covered plate. 2. In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs. Stir in the cooled sausage, cheese and jalapeños. 3. Spray muffin pan with non-stick spray such as Pam. Preheat oven to 350℉. If using Convection Bake, preheat oven to 325℉. 4. Spoon mixture evenly into muffin pan cups and bake on middle rack in oven for about 30 minutes or until golden brown and the eggs have set. Begin checking after 25 minutes. 5. Remove pan from oven and cool on a wire rack. Use a large spoon to loosen any stuck edges and pop the muffins out of the pan.
