Cornmeal mush in the Instant Pot is a frugal breakfast you’ll love

Prepare the Instant Pot for cooking.

Measure 1 cup of cornmeal and note that generic brands can be more economical.

Add 0.5 teaspoon of salt, adjusting as needed.

Pour in 2 cups of water to ensure the Instant Pot can come to pressure.

Add almost 1 teaspoon of cinnamon for flavor.

Add a capful of imitation vanilla, estimating it to be about 1 teaspoon.

Add 3 tablespoons of sugar, using whatever type is available.

Stir the mixture vigorously twice to combine all ingredients.

Seal the Instant Pot lid, ensuring the valve is set to sealing.

Select high pressure manual and set the timer to 6 minutes.

Once cooking is complete, allow the pot to naturally release for about 20 minutes.

After 20 minutes, carefully remove the lid and stir the mixture with a whisk to achieve the desired consistency.
