Pork chops are browned and put on top of dressing and finished off in the oven.   

Pizza is a family favorite and cost about 1.05 for a cheese pizza.  Add toppings from leftovers.   

Salmon was 5.00 a pound at winco and wash frozen/ 

Chicken parm.....spaghetti noodles cook in the insta pot for 2 minutes in a quart of liquid.  Instant release.

Meatballs are two dollars for almost a pound at winco.  

Chicken breast is cooked in the insta pot from frozen in 8 minutes to 12 minutes depending on the thickness of the chicken.   Probably less if using flattened chicken breast coming in a frozen bag.
