In reply to Mike. Hi Mike! I personally prefer searing them first. This gives them more texture (not mushy!) I hope that helps you decide.

If you sauté first do they come out mushy? Is it better to put in raw? I see you mentioned both. What’s your favorite flavor way?

In reply to Heather. Hi Heather! You would need to add 1 cup of broth to allow for pressure to be reached and prick the sausage several times. Enjoy!

How do you just cook the chicken sausage in the insta pot? No other ingredients

I have made this a few times, since coming across the recipe, and it is one of my all time favorite instant pot recipes. It's quick, and full of flavor!

In reply to Jenn. Thanks for sharing Jenn! Yes, CRITICAL you layer the sauce on top, especially if you decrease the sauce.

Super easy, I add less broth(1/4 cup) but make sure you layer broth, veggies, sausage, sauce on top otherwise you get a burn notice from the sauce. Served over penne or hogue buns! Make for a crowd as well, movie nights, Sunday's, football, parties!

In reply to Linda Swoveland. Tao’s is one of the lowest but expensive - you can’t find it on sale or Costco/Sams. There are a couple of websites that list the sauces in order of added sugar. Prego has the same sugar as a can of Pepsi cola!!!

Pretty tasty! I made it without the spaghetti sauce, and sauted the garlic for a minutes with the onions and peppers. I appreciate how the fat drained out of the sausages.

In reply to Danielle. Hi Danielle! I am so happy to hear you enjoyed the dish! The leftover liquid would be delicious in a soup or used to cooked rice.

This recipe is quick, easy, and delicious! Great weeknight dinner. There is a lot of leftover liquid. Hoping to find a good recipe to use it because it's a shame to throw it out!

In reply to Rick Dale. I love hearing this is not only a staple but your 13 year old's birthday request! What an honor! I love hearing how your adaptations work as well. I love making use of what you have on hand!

Great recipe! I make it almost every week and it is the meal that my 13 year old asks for on his birthday. If I am pressed for time I do not brown the sausage and nobody seems to notice except me. I have also used frozen fajita vegetables when I am really being lazy and it comes out fine. I usually have to drain some of the liquid out after it is done cooking and then add back more spaghetti sauce. This might be due to my not measuring everything perfectly.

I make a larger batch so I put the cooker on for 9 minutes and let it naturally depressurize for 15. A larger batch is required for my family if I want to have any chance of having some leftovers for lunch the next day!

Thank you for the recipe!

In reply to Ann Glowen. As long as you don't fill the inner pot past 2/3rd of the way full, you will be good to go! It will take longer to come to pressure, but the cooking time will remain the same. No need to add foil.

Have you tried making large batches of sausage.... Would I need to put foil between the layers of sausage?
