If you have an Instant Pot, you know how wonderful it can be.  If you don’t have one, you should buy one immediately!  Instant Pots are a fancy way to say “pressure cookers” that are programmed to take the guesswork out of cooking. They’re stupid-simple to use, and the only thing you need to know is to make sure it is depressurized before you open the pot.  Luckily, they really do make it easy to depressurize the pot, so you need not fear having your food explode in your face. (Which will happen if you don’t depressurize the pot.)  But no worries.  It really is simple.

This recipe is what is termed a mulligan stew. Mulligans are the hobo version of a stew, which basically is a fast stew you throw together with whatever you have on hand. The frozen or canned cut up vegetables makes this stew into a mulligan.  Plus nobody can say that it isn’t fast with an Instant Pot.
