"Busy all day, forgot to prepare supper and now dinner hour is upon me…..what to do?

I realized quickly I did not have to worry as I had my InstantPot to help me!"

Ingredients

• 3 slices Bacon- cut up into pieces
• Coconut oil- couple of tablespoons
• Any leftover cooked meat – I had a pork chop left over from the night before, cut up into small pieces (my mother cannot chew large pieces)
• Leftover vegetables cut up – I had carrots and cabbage leftover from night before, but you can use any vegetable.
• Cut up red pepper
• 1 cup bruschetta- I purchase in jar from Costco and have it on hand
• 1 cup of rice- I used white rice
• 1 cup of water

Preparation

Step 1

I heated my Instant Pot on sauté cycle and added the coconut oil to melt. I added the bacon and stirred until it was cooked but NOT crisp. I added the leftover meat and sautéed it so it is flavoured in the bacon and coconut oil. Along with the above I sautéed the raw rice. Then I added the vegetables, bruschetta, water. I sealed the lid and manual cooked it for five minutes…..let sit for a couple of minutes and released the steam.

It was delicious served with a side salad…….we ate it all!

This would also make a wonderful stuffing for Green peppers….
