Recipe Expert Tips

  • If you double the Instant Pot Brats and Peppers recipe you do not need to double the amount of water used.
  • Toasting the buns is optional but tastes so good and if you are serving the Instant Pot Brats to a crowd will keep the potato roll buns from getting extremely soggy for the peppers and onions.
  • To cut out some prep time in the kitchen before your game day party slice the peppers and onions the night before and store in airtight containers in the refrigerator until needed.
