Instant Pot Stuffing
Description
The Instant Pot Stuffing recipe starts by melting butter in the pressure cooker, then cooking chopped onion and celery until tender. Garlic and Italian seasoning add aroma and depth, sautéed briefly before adding bread cubes and vegetable stock. A sprig of thyme tops the mixture to infuse additional flavor during cooking.
Once sealed, the Instant Pot cooks the stuffing on high pressure for two minutes, followed by a quick pressure release. The stuffing is then fluffed to separate the bread for a light texture rather than a dense mass. The use of pressure cooking speeds the preparation while infusing flavors effectively.
Stale bread is recommended to absorb liquid without becoming overly mushy. Leftover stuffing should be stored airtight and reheated as needed. This recipe also includes cooking time notes, storage recommendations, and a point value for weight watchers, reflecting calorie-conscious considerations.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons butter
- ⅓ cup red onion chopped
- ⅓ cup celery chopped
- 1 garlic minced, clove
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 thyme sprig
- 4 cups bread cubes
- 3 tablespoons vegetable stock
Instructions
- Place butter in the bottom of the Instant Pot insert, set to sauté mode, and stir until melted.
- Add in the onion and celery and sauté for 5 minutes, or until tender. Then add garlic and Italian seasoning and sauté for another 30 seconds or so.
- Turn off, add the bread cubes and vegetable stock, stirring to combine. Top with the thyme sprig.
- Place the lid on the Instant Pot, turn the valve to sealing position, and set to high/manual pressure for 2 minutes.
- Once done, perform a complete quick pressure release, open and fluff the stuffing, then serve.
Notes
- Use stale bread for better absorption and texture in the stuffing.
- Fluff the stuffing thoroughly after cooking to avoid a dense, mashed texture.
- Cooking time excludes pressure buildup and release time.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container; refrigerate up to 3 days or freeze up to 3 months.
