Instant Pot Carnitas

I was trying to come up with a recipe to feed 10 people and this creation came about. I have been loving my Instant Pot and have begun testing out recipes I make up. This is by FAR the best one that everyone enjoyed!

If you prefer your meat soft instead of a little crispy skip the steps on the stove and in oven!

If you try this recipe tag me on social media!

Homemade Spaghetti Sauce and Alfredo Sauce

A few family members mixed both the meat sauce and Alfredo sauce on their pasta!

Having a large amount of family living nearby and visiting often, I have had to learn how to feed a crowd! I love cooking and so these recipes are easy, with minimal prep and clean up. In order to make these two sauces I used a pot, skillet and Crock-Pot.

I made the spaghetti sauce, or red sauce on the stove and the Alfredo sauce in the Crock-Pot. This helped with minimal work and an easy clean up of only a few things at the end of the prepping.

Recipe for Spaghetti Sauce:

  • 1 can tomato puree
  • 1 can diced tomatoes
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp minced onion
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • hamburger (if you would like)
  • salt and pepper to taste

Mix all ingredients and put in a sauce pan on medium heat. Heat all ingredients until they are warm (about 15 minutes). If you choose to add hamburger, heat in a skillet until brown, then drain and add to sauce.

Recipe for Alfredo Sauce:

  • One triangle of Parmesan cheese (grated)
  • 2 tbsp cream cheese
  • 1 pint of heavy whipping cream
  • 1 tsp oregano
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp pepper

Put all ingredients in the Crock Pot and put on low heat for one hour.

Add noodles at to your pasta and enjoy!
