Instant Pot Sausage and Lentil Stew
Fall is well on its way and there’s nothing that I like more than a big bowl of soup or stew for dinner during the cold months. Soups and stews are amazing because they’re healthy, frugal and filling all at the same time. I especially love them because they’re easy to make in the slow cooker or Instant Pot.
This recipe for Instant Pot Sausage and Lentil Stew is particularly filling and delicious. It’s so hearty that you don’t even need to serve it with bread, although I’m sure no one will complain if you do!
