Tips for making the best instant pot spaghetti:

One of our favorite time saving tips is to use a small food chopper or food processor to quickly and easily chop onions. If you do not have one of these, I highly recommend them.

They are such a time saver and you make cooking so fast and easy. I usually just chop the entire vegetable and freeze what I don’t need.

It’s so nice to be able to just take the diced onion out of the freezer for recipes. We save a ton of time during the week by having items like this already on hand chopped and ready to go in the freezer.

This is how I meal prep. It’s so quick and easy and helps get dinner on the table fast.

Learn and  how to freeze onions and also how to freeze peppers to save so much time in the kitchen! Lots of the recipes we cook call for onions and peppers so this is such a great time tip that we use frequently.

You will love having peppers and onions all ready to go! It is quick and easy.

You might also try adding bell peppers to this recipe for a change. They are so delicious with the onions.

I love to grab these for various recipes. Knowing that they are already chopped and ready to go makes it so much easier.

You will love this and I can’t recommend this time saving tip enough. This is a must!

I also recommend buying block mozzarella cheese and grating it my hand for this recipe. It will melt better and will not be as greasy.

It is so worth it and only takes a few extra minutes. Don’t skip this step!

Instant pot spaghetti casserole recipe is versatile and budget friendly.

This meal is so versatile. You can even reduce the ingredients to just 1 pound of meat.

You can use sausage or beef if you want to stretch your budget even further. We have even used ground turkey and it was delicious.

You can easily substitute any type of pasta you prefer or already have in your pantry. Good ideas to try include elbow, bow tie, rigatoni and even wheat pasta.

Try using a jar of pasta sauce instead of tomatoes if you find you are out. This meal is just so versatile. I have even added cream cheese to this dish for added creaminess and it was delicious.

I often use what I have on hand or is on sale at the grocery store. Just use what you have!
