Instant Pot is my new kitchen tool.  I truly have learned that it is my go to when I forgot or changed my mind about what I would like to have for supper.  Last night I went from frozen beef stew meat to a delicious bowl of hot beef stew just a few minutes shy of an hour.

I followed this recipe thesaltymarshmallow.com to some extent.  I did tweek it to my liking.
