This Memorial Day, use your Instant Pot / pressure cooker to make a meal everyone will love.

Summer is the perfect time to use your pressure cooker. You can keep your house cool by not turning on the oven, and it’s easier to cook ahead before the get-together. Plus, the recipes are faster and just as flavorful, so you can spend more time outside enjoying the beautiful weather.

These are 50 of the BEST Instant Pot Memorial Day recipes for sides, entrees, and desserts.

I’m also sharing some great non-pressure cooker recipes at the end from my other blog, Barbara Bakes, because what BBQ is complete without grilling?
