Meatballs are a staple meal to cook in the Instant Pot. The great thing about them is that you can often just dump in the ingredients - sometimes pre-made or pre-cooked ingredients - and forget about it. They cook quickly, and you can use the sauce as your liquid so the pot comes to pressure (no need to add extra water). It doesn't get much simpler than that.

A wide variety of protein choices and sauces can be used to make the magic happen. Meatballs aren't just your typical red sauce and beef. Asian flavors, barbecue, buffalo sauce and more can be used to make flavours pop and keep things interesting.

Meatballs are a good protein option for mashes or pasta dishes. They also make great party food served on toothpicks for satisfying snacking. Finally, they're great to stock the freezer with. Freezing food in sauces keeps them preserved and infused with flavor for even longer. Simply defrost them the night before or from frozen in the Instant Pot for easy weeknight fixes.
