INSTANT POT® LOADED BROCCOLI MASH

Instant Pot® Loaded Broccoli Mash image

Cauliflower seems to be getting all of the attention these days when it comes to cutting carbs, so I decided it was time broccoli gave it some competition. This turned out so creamy and delicious and would pair nicely with a grilled steak or anything you'd normally serve with mashed potatoes.
