With the holidays coming around the corner, it’s time to breakout the Instant Pot! I’m starting with this delicious Instant Pot Sweet Potato Casserole, topped with mini marshmallows, of course! Affiliate links included in this post.
Thanksgiving is my JAM. It’s right up there with 4th of July for me when it comes to food (I know, that’s a weird combo, but it’s true!).
I’m working on putting together a Keto Thanksgiving this year for myself, but my kids told me they’d run away to Grandmas if sweet potato casserole (WITH the mini marshmallows- duh!) wasn’t on the table.
Kids, your wish is my command. And thankfully this is pretty easy to make when you get the Instant Pot involved.
