Ok so tonight let’s make some cheddar broccoli knorr pasta with chicken! Now you will need a 3qt Instapot for this recipe, I linked the exact one I use. The only problem I have with it is my inverter only runs when I’m parked 😣. I get around this by cooking extra and then saving the leftovers for days I don’t have extra time, you can reheat in the lunchbox instead.

You can use any type of pasta premix in the instapot, you may need to adjust time though so plan to play with it! On to the food!

Ok gather your ingredients, chop up your chicken and start sautéing the chicken in some oil or butter. Meanwhile chop up the onions. Remove browned chicken to a plate, add onions and sauté. Once translucent I added 1 cup of water to help pressurize the system, and added chicken back in. Then push cancel to turn off sauté and turn to pressure cooker set for 25 mins.

Let it release naturally the pressure, about 10 mins this keeps the meat from getting tough I was told! I drained the liquid to measure it and readded the liquid based on the package directions. Put the package contents into the pot. Now I will say this was to much liquid! To fix this from now on I leave out one cup of water and I’ve had perfect results.

Cook for 3 mins on pressure cooker, allow natural release for 10 mins. Enjoy!

I have been making a variation of this recipe for over 18 years now! To follow this recipe you will need a Roadpro lunchbox cooker, and baking pans that fit.

You will need 1 pound of hamburger, 2 pieces of bread(I save the heels normally for this), 1 onion, 1-2 green peppers, 1 egg, and Montreal steak seasoning.

Depending on how dry your bread is you can crumble it or dice it. Then add the diced onions and peppers, mine was a little heavy on them but I love it! My egg was frozen but it mashed up fine in the end. Sprinkle with seasoning and throughly mix.

Pack into the loaf pan, I had half an onion left so I put some on top, yum! Add 1/4 water to the cooker and cover loaf pan with foil. I get foil sheets from the dollar tree or you can use standard foil. This isn’t a required step just really helpful if you will be driving while this is cooking. It keeps grease from splashing everywhere! Plug in and cook 2-3 hours or until done. I always cut through the middle to check for done ness.

Tonight I added a instant mashed potato packet and canned corn, Enjoy!

Thanks for joining me on my traveling adventure!

I’ve been doing some form of 12v cooking since 1998 when I started working for an expeditor. I currently drive a tractor trailer refrigerated trailer, though I have pulled a variety of other trailers over the years, bullracks, parking lots, and even skateboards. I originally wanted to be a chef but didn’t want to work holidays so I started driving truck instead😂. I use my love for culinary instead to feed my family.

Cooking options have come a long way since I got my start! Although we still have the original lunchbox cooker and inverter powered microwaves there are now electric grills, slow cookers and even the instapot.

My goal through this blog is to inspire other travelers to eat economical meals on the road by sharing different tips, tricks, reviews and recipes. Not everything will be a winner but together we can discover the difference!
