Hi Kristen,

This is a great recipe.....we actually used to make hamburgers with these ingredients. Would love to know how you would use these same ingredients to make an Instant Pot meatloaf??? !!! 🙂

Thanks,
Cary

These were fantastic. I made it for my first IP experience and it was so worth it. Will make these again. I let it slow release and used dried parsley. Didn't have the pepper flakes but will add next time!

In reply to Debra. 10 minutes will be perfect if the meatballs are frozen solid. If slight frozen, no need to change cooking time. Enjoy

If you freeze the meatballs prior to cooking, how long would you cook frozen meatballs in the IP?

These were fantastic, and so quick and easy! I made them this afternoon, and will be making your IP spaghetti sauce tomorrow. They will become meatball sandwiches the following day! Thanks for sharing this easy, delicious recipe!

In reply to April. So glad you enjoyed so much April! We love them both ways here as well. And for future reference, you can stack them in the instant pot if needed.

Hey Kristen,
This was a fantastic recipe! I had more beef on hand so I made a bunch more (about 36) and didn't know if I could stack them in the IP so didn't (just baked those ones) so BOTH ways - IP and baked turned out amazing. They are so delicious and easy. Kids, hubby and I ate up right up. Thanks!

Omg, I don't review normally but these were awesome! I wouldn't change a thing and I'm a changer! Tender, juicy, fantastic!

I didn’t eat them because I had plant based ones, but husband, daughter and her friends ate them. They all said they were good but I got excellent reviews on my sauce! After dinner, when I asked my husband how the meatballs really were, he said they were alright.

These were easy and very tasty. I doubled the recipe, I got 36 meatballs scooped out with a 1.5 inch cookie scoop. I followed the instructions exactly for the instapot and than browned them under the broiler. Super moist. We ate some for dinner and I froze a bunch of them to have on hand. Thanks for a great recipe!

In reply to Courtney. Hi Courtney! I assume that is because you want to cook your meatballs right in the sauce. First, they may fall apart and the cooking liquid could get greasy, so it is best to steam them first in my opinion. Secondly, if you want to try it anyway, you will still need 1 cup of beef broth or water and then use 24 ounce pasta sauce. You need that thin liquid to reach pressure.

Could I use a 24 ounce of pasta sauce instead of beef broth or water?

In reply to Ashley. Hi Ashley! I am so glad you enjoyed! Well, if the meatballs came out tender, I would stick with 13 minutes. I would have recommended 10-11 minutes, but it sounds like you nailed it :)

These came out delicious and tender! Question: I had to make these into 2 inch balls, instead of 1 inch, so they would stay on the trivet and not fall through the spaces. I cooked them for, I think, about 13 minutes because they were twice the thickness. So, my question is, if I make 2 inch meatballs, how long do you recommend that I cook them for? Thanks!

In reply to Bethany Herring. I am so glad you 15 month old loves these meatballs! And that you found the answer (you do not need to double the time 😉)

In reply to Bethany Herring. Oops, I see the advice/answer already posted, so never mind my question. But my thanks remains!

Hi! If i double this, should I add more time? (They're all in one pot, stacked up.)
I'm new to the IP so I haven't developed a feel for how to modify recipes.

Thanks for the great receipe, my 15-month-old loves them.
