Instructions

Instant Pot (from frozen)
- Add frozen meal to instant pot. (Please note: it is helpful to freeze in a container that is instant pot friendly so that the frozen meal will fit in the allotted space of the Instant Pot insert.)

Notes
Pineapple juice from concentrate is yellow tier, but pineapple juice not from concentrate is green tier.
Organicville ketchup uses agave instead of sugar and is what we used for testing purposes.
We used The Wizard's Worcestershire Sauce for testing purposes.
For gluten free, choose 100% whole grain gluten free buns with no high fructose corn syrup. Also consider serving these open-faced over toasted gluten free bread.
