Recommended Slow Cooker Sizes
The size of your slow cooker can affect the outcome of your meal. If your slow cooker is smaller than what we recommend, you may need to cook your meal a little longer. If it’s larger than what we recommend you may need to shorten the cooking time. You will need to keep a close eye on the pork as it cooks. Here are the crockpot sizes we recommend for each meal size to help cook your meals just right:
Smaller Portion (SP) - 3-Quart
Regular Portion (RP) - 4-Quart
Bigger Portion (BP) - 6-Quart
1. Remove freezer meal from packaging
Take the freezer meal out of its packaging and place it into the pressure cooker. Tip: If the meal doesn't fit in your pressure cooker, run the packaging under cool water to help break up the ingredients.
2. Add Liquid
Small Portion (SP) - 2 cups of water
Regular Portion (RP) - 3 cups of water
Bigger Portion (BP) - 4 cups of water
3. Seal, Set Pressure, and Cook
Close the lid and set the pressure release valve to "Sealing." Cook on High Pressure for 12-14 minutes (frozen) or 7-9 minutes (thawed) until the internal temperature reaches 165°F. It will take approximately 10-15 minutes for the pressure cooker to come up to pressure before the cooking time begins.
4. Cook and Release Pressure
After cooking, allow for a 10-minute natural release, then carefully do a quick release for any remaining pressure.
5. Remove cooked ground beef and break a part using a spatula or meat chipper utensil
You'll know it is cooked throughly when it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees and break apart easily. Return ground beef back to pot and stir.
6. Add included ditalini pasta to pressure cooker
Stir in the included pasta. Turn on the sauté function and simmer for 7-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pasta is cooked to your desired tenderness.
7. Plate and serve as desired
Pressure Cooker Notes
Cooking times are based on standard "High Pressure" settings found in most pressure cooker models. If your device has different pressure levels, consult your manual to ensure accurate results.
The total time to prepare your meal may vary depending on the brand of pressure cooker you use, as some models take longer to build and release pressure.
Preferred Slow Cooker Recommendation
For optimal results, Beehive Meals recommends using a slow cooker (e.g., Crockpot); however, many meals can also be easy prepared in a pressure cooker (e.g., Instant Pot) for faster cooking times.
