I had a TOTAL hankering for street tacos, but I truly don't think their 'steak' tacos are steak, I think they are just ground beef, so I used ground beef in this recipe and the tacos were amazing!!!!
Here is what I used, you can adjust for your likes:
1 lbs of ground beef
a bit of chopped onion
a bit of pico de Gallo
1/2 C Lime Juice
1/4 C Lemon Juice
1/4 C Orange Juice
1/4 C Soy Sauce
2 Tbsp Olive Oil
2 Tbsp Apple Cider Vinegar
1 tsp Garlic chopped ( I used Garlic Powder)
1 tsp Onion Powder
1 tsp Salt
1 Tbsp Chili Powder
1 tsp Cumin Powder
In the Instant Pot liner combine, juices, soy sauce, olive oil, ACV, garlic, onion powder, salt, chili powder, and cumin. Mix well, then add your ground beef, onion , and pico if you have it. Let it sit for at least three hours in the fridge.
Place IP liner in the base of the Instant Pot and turn on manual pressure for 5-8 minutes. That pot felt really cold so I put it in for 8. Natural pressure release, or at least ten minutes... It will be in with lots of juices so we ladled it out...SO Good!

Grey Stuff
- 1 small pkg (3.4 oz) Instant Vanilla Pudding Mix
- 1½ cups milk
- 15 Oreos
- 1 small tub Cool Whip (8 oz)
- 2 TB Instant Chocolate Pudding Mix
Place Oreos in a food processor and blend until they become crumbs.
Mix the crushed Oreos in with the pudding mixture and mix well.
Fold in Cool Whip and chocolate pudding powder, mix until well combined and refrigerate for one hour before serving.
We have eaten this on Costo lemon cookies, and in crepes, and I went all out and did it 'Disney' style for these pictures, I layered a lemon cookie, then a brownie bite, then a raspberry, and I covered it all with the 'grey stuff' SO good!
Bacon-Cheeseburger Meat Loaf
I do not like meatloaf...but I really like this stuff...
6 slices of bacon cooked and crumbled
1 1/2 lbs ground beef
1 C shredded Cheese
1 large egg lightly beaten
1/4 C onion finely diced (you can put more if you like onion)
1/3 C bread crumbs
2 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce
2 tsp garlic powder
1/4 C ketchup
2 Tbsp yellow mustard
1 1/2 Tbsp brown sugar
Preheat oven to 350. Combine crumbled bacon, ground beef, cheese, egg, onion, breadcrumbs, Worcestershire sauce, and garlic powder. Shape mixture into a loaf and place into a bread pan. (I made three small loaves thinking we wouldn't eat all of them and the boys and Todd devoured all!)
Mix together ketchup, mustard and brown sugar. Spread over meat loaf.
Bake 55 minutes to an hour, or until center reads 165 on a meat thermometer.

Root Beer!
I can't believe this didn't make it into the first book, we have this all the time... the key to a really slushee root beer is more dry ice! I would say 2-3 pound per 6 cups of water!!!
Ingredients:
16 Cups of Water
2 1/2 C Sugar
2 Tbsp of Big H Root Beer Extract
2-3 lbs of Dry Ice
Mix it all together in large cooler, don't close the lid tight as the carbonation can build up and make an explosion type of noise! Mix it every 10 or so minutes until all of the dry ice has dissolved! SO good!!!
Oven Fried Fish and Chips
I really liked these, and I don't like fish... we will definitely be making these again.
Ingredients
2 lbs Cod Fillets (or whatever fish we are using)
2 Tbsp Light Mayo/Miracle Whip
1/2 tsp Pepper
2 Cups crushed Salt and Vinegar chips
Preheat oven to 425. Place chips and pepper in a large ziplock bag and proceed to crush into small pieces. Place fish on a large parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Brush with Mayo, then dip into chip mixture. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until fish flakes with a fork.
We served with sweet potato fries... super yum!
