(31 grams) panko bread crumbs

¼ cup (62.5 milliliters) milk

(500 milliliters) unsalted chicken stock

Mix Meatballs Ingredients: Combine all the meatballs ingredients in a large mixing bowl.&nbsp;*Pro Tip: Add the dry ingredients first, then the wet ingredients. Mix well with your hands.&nbsp;Ensure the egg is beaten before&nbsp;adding it to the meatball mixture.

Make Tomato Sauce: Combine all the tomato sauce ingredients in your Instant Pot or pressure cooker. Mix well until the tomato paste dissolves into the tomato sauce. Close lid and pressure cook at High&nbsp;Pressure for 5 minutes, then Quick Release.

Preheat Oven &amp; Test Seasoning: While the tomato sauce is cooking, preheat oven to 450°F. Test the seasoning by cooking a small portion of the meatballs mixture on a skillet over medium-high heat.

Make Meatballs: Gently roll the meatballs mixture with your hands into ball shapes.&nbsp;*Pro Tip: As shown in the video, we like to serve ours slightly bigger than the size of a golf ball. You should be able to create 8 – 12 meatballs with the listed amount of ingredients.

Brown in Oven: Place a piece of parchment paper on your baking tray and gently place the meatballs on it. Place the meatballs in the oven for roughly 12 – 16 minutes until the top is browned but not dried out.

Pressure Cook Meatballs: By now, the tomato sauce should be done cooking on the first cycle. Remove the meatballs from the oven and fully submerge the meatballs in tomato sauce in Instant Pot or pressure cooker.

Serve: Remove the meatballs from the tomato sauce. Confirm the internal temperature of the meatballs is at least 145°F.

Moroccan Meatballs

tomatoes

sweet paprika

cumin

kosher salt

paprika

black pepper

green olives (chopped)

93% beef

cinnamon

parsley

cilantro (divided)

brown rice or cauliflower rice (for serving (optional))

Place the onions in a bowl and microwave about 2 minutes to sweat them out (or you can saute on the stove).

Add all sauce ingredients to the slow cooker. Stir to combine.

In a large bowl, combine all meatball ingredients, leaving 2 tablespoons of cilantro for garnish.

Gently form into 20 small meatballs. (Please note: Form the meatballs with gentle hands, if you pack them tight they will get tough while cooking.)

Place the meatballs on top of the sauce, cover and cook low 4 to 6 hours or high 2 to 3 hours.

Top with remaining 2 tablespoons of cilantro and serve over brown rice or cauliflower rice, if desired.

Slow Cooker Directions:

Press saute and spray the cooking insert with oil, add the onions and saute 3 to 5 minutes, until softened.

Add the remaining sauce ingredients and stir to combine.

Place the meatballs on top of the sauce, cover and cook high pressure 15 minutes, natural release.

Instant Pot Beer BBQ Meatballs and Rice

long grain white rice

olive oil

salt

28 oz homestyle meatballs (frozen and fully-cooked)

beer (I use golden ale)

BBQ sauce

cornstarch

Place the rice in an oven-safe bowl. (Make sure the bowl is big enough for rice to expand.)

Add 1 cup of water and stir in olive oil and salt.

Place the frozen meatballs in inner pot of Instant Pot.

Pour in the beer and bbq sauce.

Put a trivet over the meatballs and place the bowl with rice on top.

Close the lid and make sure the valve is set to “sealing”.

Set the Instant Pot to Pressure Cook/Manual for 5 minutes on high. (NOTE: It took 15 minutes for my IP to come to pressure.)

Once the time is up, allow the pressure to release naturally for 10 minutes, and then carefully turn the valve to venting. Once the pin drops, carefully open the lid.

Using silicone mitts, carefully take the bowl with rice out. Fluff it with a fork. Remove trivet.

Set the Instant Pot to sauté.

In a small dish, mix together cornstarch with 1 tablespoon of water.

Once the meatball sauce start bubbling, stir in cornstarch slurry, and cook until the sauce is thickened.

Serve the meatballs over rice. Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired.If you tried this recipe, I'd love to read your feedback. Please leave your comment and rating below, or share on Instagram with #busycooks and tag us @busy_cooks. Thank you!!

These Instant Pot Swedish Meatballs and Noodles are an easy one pot meal made in the pressure cooker! Made in 30 minutes or less.

Instant Pot Swedish Meatballs and Noodles

lb beef meatballs (frozen

beef broth

Worcestershire sauce

garlic

egg noodles ((140 grams))

half and half or heavy cream

corn starch

Place meatballs in the Instant Pot with beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, parsley, salt and pepper. Stir until spices are combined.

Add noodles, spread into an even layer and press down gently but do not stir -- they will not be completely submerged and that is fine.

Put the lid on, turn the valve to sealing, and select Manual or Pressure Cook for 3 minutes. It will take about 10 minutes for the Instant Pot to come to pressure.

When the cook time is over, let the pressure release naturally for 5 minutes, then open the valve to release the pressure, and remove the lid. The noodles may appear dry on top -- this is FINE. Stir them into the meatballs.

Whisk together cream and corn starch and stir into meatballs. Turn the Instant Pot to saute and cook and stir just until sauce has thickened (and at this point, all noodles will be perfect :) )
