Instant Pot Ham and Cabbage Dinner is so easy to make. Ham, cabbage, potatoes, celery, and carrots all cooked with butter and chicken broth. You are going to love it.

Instant Pot Ham and Cabbage Dinner

Growing up in my parent’s house anytime we had a ham dinner. boiled dinner as it was called would follow.I’ve said it before but I’ll say it again, no one could make food stretch the way my mother could. My parents had 7 kids and my father made very little money for a family that size.  However, we never went hungry.

Both of my parents were excellent cooks and great at making big pots of things that went a long way. I have shared a few –Easy Shepherds Pie, although she didn’t make it in an instant pot, INSTANT POT CHILI  is basically her recipe. Of course, I bragged on her Moms Classic Macaroni Salad With Egg. Ham and cabbage usually came after having ham on Christmas or Easter.

Making Ham and Cabbage Dinner is pretty easy whether you put it in an instant pot pressure cooker as I did, or throw it all in a stockpot on the stove.  As easy as it is to make and as much as I love it, I haven’t served it much to my husband and kids.  Seems none of them are fans of cooked cabbage. Yum, I love it with extra butter on the potatoes and some apple cider vinegar for a little bite .- Delicious in my opinion.

Does it Matter What Kind Of Ham I Use? – Absolutely not,  I’m sure it would be great with any that you choose. However, personally, I think the more fat the better.

Could I use different meat?– Sure it is also great with pork chops or if you are like my daughter, and don’t eat pork, a turkey breast would be great.

Ingredients Needed For Instant Pot Ham and Cabbage Dinner:

• Ham 
• Cabbage
• Potatoes 
• Celery
• Carrots
• Chicken Broth 
• Butter
• Salt
• Pepper

How To Make The Ham and Cabbage Dinner:

1. Cut up  Ham, Cabbage, Potatoes, Celery, Carrots,
2. Put all in the Instant Pot
3. Cover with Chicken Broth 
4. Cut up the butter and put on top of meat and vegetables- salt and pepper and any other seasonings you like -to taste
5. Close Lid
6. Pressure Cook 
7. Natural Release

What should I serve with the Dinner?-This time I served Pillsbury Refrigerator Biscuits https://www.pillsbury.com/.  My mother just always served bread and butter with every meal. A salad would also go great on the side. If you are looking for a great dessert, how bout No-Bake Chocolate Cream Pie or Cinnamon Apple Turnovers? Suddenly I am hungry just thinking about it.

This dinner is fantastic, whether you use the convenience of the Instant Pot (which I absolutely love) or cook it in a stockpot on top of the stove.  It definitely is great cooked all day in a slow cooker/crockpot also. Whichever way you chose, stop back by and let me know how it came out. Did you make any changes or adjustments? Thanks in advance.

It’s not a secret that we love comfort food around here.   Actually I love comfort food because the hubby is still going strong on keto and most of these meals don’t qualify. This Turkey Pot Pie recipe fits in that category As well as,.Easy Shepherds Pie, Slow Cooker Beef Stroganoff,  and INSTANT POT MISSISSIPPI POT ROAST all being some of my favorites.

If someone would have told me a few years ago that I would be making homemade (sorta) pot pie, I would have said why when there is  Marie Calendars.

Making this Easy Shepherd’s Pie is so easy and quick. With ground beef, veggies, mushroom soup and topped with mashed potatoes this is the ultimate comfort food.

Easy Shepherd’s Pie

Shepherd’s Pie is a great throw together weeknight dinner., Easy 30 or 40 minutes meals are great. Some of my other favorites are Easy Sheet Pan Fajitas, Chicken Bacon Ranch and Cheddar and INSTANT POT CHILI..

Growing up my mother made shepherd’s pie a lot. My parents always knew how to make some great cheap meals. Noone could stretch a pound of ground beef like my mother. The other ingredients are all basic items you probably have in your pantry. Cream of mushroom soup, corn, green beans, carrots, and mashed potatoes. (If you have leftover mashed potatoes they work great.) I usually have some instant mashed potatoes on hand and use them.

Well eating this delicious meat casserole over the years, it never occurred to me where it got its name. However well-doing some research I discovered it actually has Irish history. Originally named cottage pie if made with beef and shepherd’s pie is made with lamb. It was very popular in the 1800s in Ireland, Scotland, and England. The sheepherders often known as  Shepherd’s would have this meal waiting for them when they returned from the fields. Hence giving it its name.

This recipe is made with cream of mushroom soup, although I know many use gravy. Also, this time I used canned corn, canned green beans, and fresh carrots -frozen can be used. Normally I go with whatever I have on hand.  So grab what you have in the pantry or freezer and throw it together.

How To Make Easy Shepherd’s Pie:

INGREDIENTS NEEDED:

• Ground Beef
• Onion
• Cream of Mushroom Soup
• Mushrooms
• Corn
• Green Beans 
• Carrots 
• Mashed Potatoes 
• Garlic Powder
• Paprika 
• Salt
• Pepper
• Green Onions (optional garnish)

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Brown Ground Beef 
2. Add Onion and  Mushrooms
3. Mix in Soup

6. Scoop into a baking dish (spray dish with food release to make clean up easier)
7. Spread Prepared mashed potatoes over meat and vegetable mixture-sprinkle paprika

Extra Crispy Oven-Fried Drumsticks are as tasty and juicy as KFC. In my opinion anyway, however, you can just throw them in the oven at home. Avoiding the drive-thru or door dash.

We eat a lot of chicken in our house. Rotating KETO JALAPENO POPPER  CHICKEN CASSEROLE, Awesome Chicken And Biscuits  Instant Pot, Buffalo Chicken Tenders. We were always chicken breast eaters until recently we started eating more thighs and legs. We love the Instant Pot Barbeque Chicken Thighs that I started making recently.

In October we went on vacation to California and stayed with my husband’s brother and his wife. My sister in law is an excellent cook. She shared with me, this recipe for these Extra Crispy Oven-Fried Drumsticks.  She tells me that only drum sticks work, haha. Not sure if that’s true.  Soon I will test it with thighs and see how they come out.

This chicken is very moist on the inside and crispy on the outside. The recipe is very simple, the drum sticks are dipped in melted butter, then battered with a mixture of bread crumbs, parmesan cheese, and a few spices.

This chicken takes about an hour in the oven to cook, the trick to keeping it moist (in addition to the butter) is to keep it tented with aluminum foil. In the second half of the baking, you will want to take it off to let it get crispy.

When we were making these drumsticks it was for a large crowd.  We were serving my husband’s brothers and their wives. Nothing better than time with family. If it’s in San Diego that makes it even better. Oh, how I miss the west coast, especially in the winter. My kids and those beautiful grandkids of mine keep me in Ohio.
