Yes, I’m starting off with a super simple recipe. It is an adaptation of my 3 Envelope Crockpot Roast, which is a family favorite. Way back on Black Friday I bought myself a Ninja Foodi Pressure Cooker! This is my first pressure cooker. I have borrowed my daughter-in-law’s Instant Pot once but I never owned one. Here it is 6 months later and I am using my Foodi more and more.

A few months ago, when I was planning to make my 3 Envelope Roast in the crockpot as normal I thought, “I should be able to do this in my Foodi in a lot less time.” I was right! It took a little trial and error to get it perfect but I now make this roast in my pressure cooker every time! I will tell you up front, this roast can be a little salty. If you need to watch your sodium I suggest getting the low sodium brown gravy packet, that is what I usually do, but it has been difficult to find in these odd Covid times we are living in.

3 Envelope Pressure Cooker Roast Instructions
