I had a friend text me the other night and ask me, “Hey, I got this giant pork shoulder on sale. What on earth can I do with it?!”

I think I replied in 0.25 seconds.  “IP pork nachos. What else would you make?”

Hello, it’s Game Day season and we always, always need a giant sheet pan of nachos, no questions asked. And why not make them in the pressure cooker that takes such minimal effort?

Am I right or am I right?

So let’s make IP pulled pork (especially if you have clearance pork shoulder!), pressure cooked for 40 minutes. Do your quick-release, shred your pork, top off your chips, and bake until melted cheesy heaven.

Serve with all your favorite toppings. Pickled jalapenos are an absolute must in my book!
