If you're from the South, you know every New Year's Day it's a given that you'll have to eat collards, black eyed peas, and pork roast. Why? To be blessed with lots of money this year (green collards), lots of luck (black eyed peas), and good health (pork roast). And it wasn't for a long time until I realized not everyone around the U.S. did this every New Year's Day. Not Southern? You should check out some other best Instant Pot Recipes for New Year's Day brunch since you're not obliged from the womb to eat collards, black eyed peas, and pork roast on New Year's Day like us Southern children are. You know what? These are so good, you should try them even if you are Southern — just don't tell Memaw and "your Mama n' them." Bless your hearts.
Nothing beats a good brunch, especially if you're hungover from too much champagne and celebrating the night before, right? And most people like to imbibe a little too much on New Year's Eve. Traditionally, of course. What cures New Year's Eve hangovers? Brunch filled with cheesy grits, sticky buns, breakfast casseroles, and sausage and bacon. Hey, you'll still have good health this year if you make one of these casseroles, since they're pork, right? What's best about these recipes is you basically dump them in the Instant Pot and go — because who needs to fuss with elaborate recipes when you're hungover anyway, right? Or at the very least, tired because you actually stayed up until midnight like the other whippersnappers.
