Kevin’s InstantPot Pot Roast/ Stroganoff/ Stew-Thing-Dinner

By Kevin Pettway / October 26, 2018 /

You can go a couple of different directions with this recipe, depending on how long you simmer it for at the end. The longer the simmer, the saucier and less soupy it will be. It’s a matter of preference though. It’s pretty wonderful either way.

Lena’s Lasagna

By Lena Shore / November 21, 2012 /

I’ve probably made it 100 times and it’s always been a hit, even with my friends who “don’t like lasagne”. 1.5 pounds of ground meat (we use turkey or buffalo or a combination)…
