Versatile Meal

I mentioned at the beginning that the meat can be swapped out for whatever you have in the fridge/freezer and the toppings are totally up to you. I’ve done this same recipe with ground beef, steak and pork and it has always turned out amazing. I have also changed the pinto beans to black beans…yes please! Do what your family will love!

1 packet dry ranch dressing
1 packet Au Jus
4 tbsp butter, cut into 4 pieces

Gravy
3 tbsp butter, softened

Season meat with salt and pepper.  Turn instant pot on saute mode.  When display says hot, add oil

Place meat in hot oil.  let cook for 5 minutes without moving.  Flip over and cook 5 more minutes

Remove meat to plate and tent with foil to keep warm

Ad onion to pot along with 1/4 cup of beef broth.  Use wooden spoon to scrape up browned bits on bottom

Add remaining beef broth, pepperoncinis, pepperoncini juice, ranch seasoning, au jus, and butter.  stir to mix

turn saute mode off and add meat and any juices back to pot

close lid and set knob to sealing position.  set to pressure and cook/manual for 90 minutes.  natural release (recipe says 55 minutes and cut meat before cooking, haven't tried)

gravy: I don't do this -- in small bowl, mix butter and flour to make paste.  Turn saute mode on.  Once comes to simmer, add flour mixture.  whisk until thickened.  shred meat and return to pot.  (I don't do this step.  I use ultra gel)

Oreo Cheesecake

Crust:
15 oreo cookies
3 Tbsp melted butter

Batter:
2 (8ounces each) packages cream cheese, at room temperature
1/2 cup white sugar
1 tbsp cornstarch
3 large eggs at room temperature
1/2 cup heavy cream at room temperature
1 tsp vanilla extract
10 oreo cookies, chopped

White Chocolate Ganache (optional):
1/3 cup heavy whipping cream
1 cup white chocolate chips

Garnish:
8 Oreo Cookies, chopped

_________________________
Crust Instructions:
1. Lightly coat 7x3 inch springform pan with nonstick spray and set aside
2.  Add the cookies to a food processor and finely process until crumbs are formed.  Or add the cookies to a ziplock bag, and crush them using a rolling pin.
3.  Add the cookie crumbs and melted butter to a large bowl and stir until well combined
4.  Press the mixture into the prepared springform pan.  Using a measuing cup, press the crust and try to line the sides about to the middle of the pan edges.
5.  Refrigerate for at least 20 minutes

Cheesecake Batter:
1.  Make sure all ingredients are at room temperature before you begin.
2.  In the bowl of a stand mixer or in a large bowl using a hand mixer, add the cream cheese, sugar and cornstarch, beat until light and fluffy on medium-low speed
3.  scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl.
4.  With the mixer on low speed, beat in heavy cream.  Scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl.
5.  Add the eggs one at a time and beat after each addition until well combined.  Beat in the vanilla extract.
6.  Stir in chopped oreo cookies
7.  remove crust from freezer and pour cheesecake batter mixture into the prepared pan.

Cook:
1.  Place metal trivet into 6 qt instant pot and add 1 1/2 cups water.
2.  Gently transfer cheesecake pan on top of the trivet.  Cover the top of the cheesecake pan (not the IP) with foil
3. Select manual setting and adjust pressure to high.  If using a springform pan that is 7x3 inch, cook for 28 minutes, if using 6 inch pan, add 5 more minutes and cook 33 minutes
4.  Note 28 minutes worked perfectly for me, sometimes based on elevation and other factors, cooking time can be different.  If you have never made cheesecakes in your IP and you are not sure what cooking time works best, I would recommend cooking for 33 minutes to be safe.
5.  When finished cooking and the IP beeps, release pressure naturally for about 20-30 minutes.
6.  Carefully open the pot and transfer cheesecake to cooling rack.  let cool 1 hour, after which run a paring knife around edges
7.  transfer cheesecake to the refrigerator for at least 6 hours or overnight.

White Chocolate Ganache (optional):
1. Heat heavy cream in a heat proof bowl in microwave 45 seconds, until it just begins to bubble
2.  Add white chocolate chips in a medium bowl, and pour the hot heavy cream over them, making sure they are fully covered with cream.  Allow mixture to sit 1 minute.
3.  Stir slowly until cream and white chocolate chips are combined.  Some bit of the chocolate will not be fully melted yet, in that case heat the mixture again 20 seconds and stir.  Repeat as necessary until all the chocolate bits are fully melted.
4.  If mixture is too thin or thick, you can add a touch more chocolate chips or heavy cream
5.  remove cheesecake from pan, place on serving plate and pour white chocolate ganache over it.
6. Immediately garnish with chopped oreo cookies
7. wait for white chocolate ganache to settle/harden before cutting and serving.
8.  refrigerate cheesecake covered loosely with foil or plastic wrap.  Good for 1 week.

Mini Pressure Cooker Cheesecakes

Pouring cream cheese mix into ramekin for Mini Pressure Cooker Cheesecakes
https://ohsodelicioso.com/mini-pressure-cooker-cheesecakes/
Ingredients
  • 1 1/2 c graham cracker crumbs
  • 6 T melted butter
  • 3 T sugar
  • 1 t cinnamon
  • 8 oz. cream cheese completely room temperature
  • 1/2 c sugar
  • 1 t vanilla
  • 1 T lemon juice
  • 2 eggs completely room temperature
  • 1/2 c canned pitted cherries
  • 1/2 c cherry juice from canned cherries
  • 1/2 c sugar
  • 2 1/2 T flour
  • 1/8 t salt
  • 2 T butter
Instructions
  1. For crust, combine all ingredients and press into bottoms of ramekins (I used five 3 1/2" ramekins).
  2. For cheesecake, beat cream cheese with electric mixer. Add remaining ingredients, eggs last.
  3. Beat just until combined. Place 1 c water in bottom of pressure cooker. Layer ramekins with tray or trivet. Set to steam vegetables, adjust time to 3 minutes.
  4. Make cherry topping by simmering cherry juice with sugar, flour, and salt. Whisk until flour is completely incorporated, simmer 1-2 minutes until slightly thickened. Remove from heat, add butter, mix until melted. Add cherries to mixture. Refrigerate until cool.
  5. When cheesecakes are done, let the cooker naturally release the pressure. When lid is not locked and all the pressure is released, remove lid and carefully remove ramekins from cooker with sturdy tongs.
  6. Let cool to room temperature, then chill in fridge. Top with cherry topping when ready to serve.
Recipe Notes
These can be baked in the oven at 350 degrees. Remove from oven after about 15 minutes, or once the edges have puffed up.
