Fall is here, time to pull out the instant pot. Thanks for the motivation.
Love adopting box dinners to homemade!
Wondering ifI can leave the tomato paste out. Would it change the taste too much?
Yes it would change the taste a bit too much to leave out a base element like the tomato paste. I recommend that you replace tomato paste with tomato sauce (1:3 ratio) for similar results. Hope this helps.
