Instant Pot Brown Rice
Have you ever made Instant Pot Brown Rice? If you have been battling to try and make the perfect rice, this, my friends is the way to do it. I know that with brown rice, it is sometimes hard to get the soft fluffy texture when you are cooking on a stovetop, but this changes all that!
Instant Pot Brown Rice is delicious on its own, but it makes a great side dish and ingredient too. I love using it in fajitas, in stir-fry, and in rice casserole dishes. It works for so many things!
Making this Instant Pot Brown Rice is also a good idea if you like to meal prep. Just gather your food prep containers, fill them with a protein such as chicken, some veggies and your delicious brown rice and you have meals for the week! This will save you so much time!
