Instant Pot Cocktail Wieners
Hi friends! I feel like it’s just appetizer season all around, isn’t it? Between New Year’s Appetizer Parties and Game Day Foods for the championship games and of course “The Big Game” coming up, we’ve been cooking up a ton of tasty treats perfect for a party spread. I love breaking out the Instant Pot Pressure Cooker for these types of recipe because let’s be honest, it cuts out so much of the cooking time, leaves the stove and oven open for making other things AND I don’t know about you, but I love using the Instant Pot because it’s SO easy to clean up! Everything in one pot that you can take out and clean afterwards. It doesn’t get better than that. So let’s get to the recipe…Instant Pot Cocktail Wieners!
