Read MoreInstant Pot Turkey and Wild Rice Soup (Not Low Carb)
This Instant Pot turkey and wild rice soup is very good. However, the wild rice takes very centre stage and it’s not a taste I’m overly fond of. I guess I thought that the wild rice would take a back stage to the other ingredients in the recipe. Therefore, in the future, I think I…

I made my own Hamburger Helper style meal! I sautéed one pound of regular ground beef with a quarter sweet onion, half a large celery stick, two heaping teaspoons of Better Than Bouillon (beef flavour), and half a can of peas and carrots (drained).
