Any slow cooker recipe can and should be made in an instant pot instead, imo. People mostly used slow cookers for the convenience of throwing a bunch of ingredients together and setting and forgetting. Instant pots do the same thing however cook way faster so you don’t have to do it in the morning and imo it tastes better. Meats stay juicier and it only takes like 25-45 min instead of 4-8 hours.
One I make all the time is you just throw in a jar of salsa verde, quart of chicken stock, big package of chicken thighs, can of your favorite beans, frozen corn and some cumin/garlic powder/chili powder/bay leaves and boom you made green chicken chili. Serve with pepper jack cheese.
Any recipes you’d recommend? We have one but have barely ever used it.

If you use them as a pressure cooker. They can also operate as a slow cooker and do the “throw in and forget and take out hours later” thing.
I most often cook rice, beans, or pasta in mine over a normal pot. Sometimes chilly or soups.
