    Bacon lovers, this one is for you. Browse these Instant Pot recipes with bacon to find your next family-favorite dinner, soup, or side.

    I've rounded up a variety of bacon recipes, from chicken bacon corn chowder to pumpkin mac and cheese with bacon. You’ll find low-carb, gluten-free, and Whole30 recipes.

    Four images in a grid: brussels sprouts with bacon bits, creamy shredded chicken with bacon bits, pumpkin mac and cheese with bacon bits, and bacon corn chowder.

    These recipes all call for American-style streaky bacon. American-style bacon comes in long strips and is made from pork belly. I usually gravitate toward thick-cut bacon.

    Instant Pot FAQs

    Why use a pressure cooker?

    The Instant Pot is an electric pressure cooker that's multi-use. These functions include pressure cook, steam, slow cook, rice cook, and more.

    For me, it's all about the easy cleanup. I look for dump-and-go dinners and one-pot meals.

    What size Instant Pot do I need?

    For most people, a 6-quart Instant Pot will be the most versatile size. It allows you to make dishes for two or dishes for a family of five (with leftovers!).

    Note that certain models only have a couple of sizes available.

    What brand/model should I get?

    There are many options out there when it comes to electric multi-functional pressure cookers: Instant Pot, CHEF iQ, Presto, Comfee, to name a few.

    The real answer is, they all offer similar functionality, so choose one that fits your budget and your cooking needs.

    I'm partial to Instant Pot. I was gifted a 6-quart Instant Pot Duo about five years ago, and it's in amazing shape. I've never once thought about purchasing a different make or model.
