Instant Pot Spice-Rubbed Pork Chops with Veggies

This recipe for Instant Pot Spice-Rubbed Pork Chops with Veggies is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of Safeway. The opinions and text are all mine. #OpenNature #ad

Instant Pot Spice-Rubbed Boneless Pork Chops with Veggies #OpenNature AD | Mama Harris' KitchenWeekday afternoons are always a stressful time for me. Between homework, football practice and dinner – well sometimes it’s all a big blur. I’ve really grown to love my Instant Pot for the efficient ways I can get dinner on the table for my hungry family in a quickness. Meals that are ready in less than thirty minutes are my jam, and if I can do it all in one pot, well then it’s my favorite!

Instant Pot Spice-Rubbed Pork Chops with Veggies

October is National Pork month, and I already have quite a few recipes that are my go-to for pork chops or shredded pork sliders. However, sometimes everyone is in the mood for a meat and potatoes kind of meal, and this is just that! I decided on boneless pork chops because of the quick cooking time, PLUS this is a super affordable meal in addition to being tasty and filling. SCORE!

Instant Pot Spice-Rubbed Boneless Pork Chops with Veggies #OpenNature AD | Mama Harris' KitchenWhen feeding my family, it’s important for me to make the best choices I can in the ingredients I feed to them. When purchasing pork products I look for Open Nature® Pork which is available in the San Francisco Bay Area exclusively at Safeway stores, here’s why I love it:

  • All Open Nature pork is of the Duroc heritage breed. Duroc is esteemed by chefs for its high-degree of marbling, which translates into a more tender, juicy, and flavorful eating experience. Duroc makes it “fool-proof” to prepare a delicious entree.
  • Open Nature pork is antibiotic free (no antibiotics, ever), is 100% vegetarian fed, has no added hormones or growth promotants and is raised crate free.

These are qualities that keep me coming back to this brand every time. Not just for the pork either! There’s a wide variety of products in both food and non-food categories with over 400 items! Open Nature products are high-quality, clean label products at a value when compared to national brands. They’re dedicated to a clean lifestyle, free from 110 food ingredients, and meat products are 100% natural meat. The chicken and pork are 100% vegetarian fed, with no antibiotics ever. The beef and lamb are 100% grass fed and raised without antibiotics. I love that the brand is not only ethical, but affordable and easily accessible.


Instant Pot Spice-Rubbed Boneless Pork Chops with Veggies #OpenNature AD | Mama Harris' KitchenIt was important for me to create a simple dish that is flavorful with minimal ingredients. Of course adding pops of color like red and blue potatoes, carrots and zucchini makes my heart sing too. This is a hearty Fall meal that is a cinch to put together, and will fill your home quickly with delicious smells!

Instant Pot Spice-Rubbed Boneless Pork Chops with Veggies #OpenNature AD | Mama Harris' KitchenStart by sauteeing the halved potatoes in grapeseed oil in the instant pot, stirring so the potatoes don’t stick too much. Then we add the halved carrots a give them a quick sa

Instant Pot Spice-Rubbed Boneless Pork Chops with Veggies #OpenNature AD | Mama Harris' KitchenBoth the veggies and pork are seasoned with some of my favorite go-to flavors like smoked paprika and herbs to both, then some lemon pepper, garlic salt and brown sugar to the pork. Don’t be afraid of a little flavor!

Instant Pot Spice-Rubbed Boneless Pork Chops with Veggies #OpenNature AD | Mama Harris' KitchenThe pork chops also get sauteed in grapeseed oil with a bit of butter, just browning each side to really lock in the flavor before it’s cooked on high pressure in the instant pot. A quick 2 minutes on each side is really all it needs!

Instant Pot Spice-Rubbed Boneless Pork Chops with Veggies #OpenNature AD | Mama Harris' KitchenAdd a bit of chicken broth and minced garlic before folding the veggies up in foil packs ( I used 3 packs of foil) and placed on top of the pork before cooking for six minutes in the instant pot.

Plate your chops and serve with the veggies for a hearty, tasty weeknight meal that’s ready in just under 30 minutes. Enjoy!

  11. Press power on the instant pot, then set for 6 minutes at high pressure. Cover and make sure the steam release button is closed.
  12. Once done, do a quick release to let the steam out, then remove the cover on the instant pot.
  13. Carefully remove the foil packets and open them into a serving dish. Also remove the wire basket, and carefully remove the chops and add them to a serving dish as well.
  14. It's optional to make a gravy with the remaining juice, just make a slurry with cornstarch and water and stir it into the remaining juice until it's a little thinner than the consistency you'd like. Top the pork chops with the gravy.
  15. Serve and enjoy!

(AD) There has been a lot of cooking going on this year, so I’ve tried to make life a bit easier by getting creative with my leftovers. These pulled pork totchos are a great example of leftovers with a few key ingredients to create something new to keep our meals exciting. Adding a few key ingredients like @lamorenausa adobo peppers and jalapeños and carrots definitely livens up something simple. La Morena peppers are hand selected, using only the highest quality peppers to bring you authentic home style flavors of Mexico. I purchased my La Morena items from my local Safeway, but you can find them at your favorite grocery store in the international food section. #PayItForwardwithLM #VivaLaMorena #WeCanWithLaMorena 
 
INGREDIENTS:
- 32 oz tater tots
- 2 cups shredded cheese (Mexican blend + Pepper Jack)
- 2 cups prepared bbq pulled pork (check my pulled pork sliders recipe!)
- 1/2 can La Morena Adobo Peppers & Sauce
- 2 tablespoons sour cream 
- 2 tablespoons ranch dressing
- 1 cup pico de Gallo
- 1/2 cup guacamole
- 3 chopped green onions 
- 3-4 La Morena jalapeños and carrots, sliced

INSTRUCTIONS:
Prepare tater tots as instructed, in air fryer or oven. Heat oven to 450°. 
Cover the bottom of a large cast iron skillet with the cooked tater tots. 
Top with 1 1/2 cup of cheese. 
Combine the chopped adobo peppers and sauce with the prepared bbq pulled pork. Spread the pulled pork mixture on top of the tater tots, then top with the remaining cheese.
Bake in the preheated oven for 5 minutes.
Top with sour cream, ranch, pico de Gallo, guacamole, green onions, and sliced jalapeños and carrots.

Enjoy!! 😋

This year I’ve created Cranberry Pistachio Citrus Cookies to share as my contribution. 🍪 I know that a lot of things have turned “virtual” throughout this year, but a little virtual bake-off is a fun way to connect with some of your favorite people!

Hello Instagram fam! 💖 There’s some new faces around here and it’s been a while since I showed mine!

I’m Dawn, creator of Mama Harris’ Kitchen, and I’m so glad you’re here with me! In this space I share my family-friendly recipes for all occasions, whether it be a 30-minute meal for those busy weeknight dinners or a full spread for entertaining a crowd - and everything in between.

Mama Harris’ Kitchen began back in 2012, in fact it’s 8 years this month! 🥳  What started as a way to document my newfound cooking hobby while managing my “new” life as a stay-at-home wife and mom to a 1 and 3 year along with teens and preteens, and it quickly grew into what it is now - a recipe resource for busy families like mine that enjoy flavorful and comforting home-cooking using pantry staples along with fresh and local ingredients as often as possible. 

🍿Five fun facts about me:
1. I LOVE elephants! 🐘 I collect a lot of elephant items, whether it’s trinkets or  artwork, notepads etc. I love what elephants symbolize and I truly love anything elephant related.
2. I’m a total plant lady! 🌱 I have about 35 houseplants, give or take, and there’s still more on the list of wants. Plants have become such a peaceful outlet for me, and I feel that they really center me within my space. I love the element plants bring to your space and the feel of your home with them in it, and new leaves are so exciting!
3. I have seven tattoos and I have plans for about eight more. 💉 Those that know me aren’t surprised, but those that follow me here tend to find it a bit surprising. 🙃
4. I’ve been a mother for a long time, over half my life! I’ve also been a lot of different “types” of mom - teen mom, single mom, working mom, stepmom, stay at home mom, PROUD mom, military mom, mother in law - the list goes on. No matter what, motherhood looks different for everyone and there’s unique challenges and experiences each mother faces. Please be gentle with yourself! ❤️At the end of the day we’re all just trying our best!
5. I’m a bit of an introvert, and often struggle with the “social” aspect of social media. I tend to go silent sometimes, but I’m working on it.

☀️Thank you for joining me here!

Did you know that the third Sunday of July is considered National Ice Cream Day? 🍦Not that we need an excuse to enjoy our favorite treat!
