Get read for game day or head to your next tailgate party with these great instant post recipes! Instant Pot makes it easy to cook up a delicious meal in a short amount of time. We have gathered 45 of the greatest game day and tailgating Instant Pot Recipes to help you plan your next party menu!

You already know how much we love our Instant Pot (this is the one we have). We make Instant Pot dinners and Instant Pot breakfastsand even Instant Pot Desserts. Also in our collection of Instant Pot recipes are Weight Watchers Instant Pot meals and Paleo Instant Pot Meals as we attempt to find gluten and dairy free recipes for Bob’s dietary restrictions. We typically use our Instant Pot a minimum of 2 nights every week for dinner. The thing that I like the most about the IP is how quickly it cooks the food (on pressure cooker mode), yet you don’t lose any flavor or quality. Quite the contrary, actually. The meals that we have had in the Instant Pot have come out savory and packed full of flavor.

Last year, I suggested taking our Instant Pot on our big Yellowstone road trip and at first, I’m pretty sure Bob thought I was nuts. We already had a crock pot, electric griddle and a toaster oven in the camper and he was pretty sure we didn’t need one more appliance in the cupboards. I was pretty sure he was WRONG as I suggested that with an Instant Pot, we could have a delicious home cooked meal after a long day of driving that would cook while we unhitched the camper. He gave in and after our first night on the road and one very delicious Instant Pot pot roast, we both agreed that the IP was going to be a camper staple!

For this newest installment of Instant Pot recipes, I turned to our frequent parties and tailgates and have collected many favorite game day dishes, in various varieties. These would work well for parties and sporting events. (Professional or even at your kids’ events – we love a good horse show tailgate!).
