Ingredients

Ingredients:

  • 2 lb beef or 1 lb beef and 1 lb sausage
  • 1 teaspoon garlic minced
  • 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs or to personal preference
  • 1 egg large
  • 2 Tablespoons olive oil

For the tomato sauce:

  • 4 cups tomato sauce of choice
  • 12 oz Italian-style tomatoes
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

Instructions

  • You will want to do your meat, garlic, and Italian seasoning in a bowl and begin mixing. Once it is mixed add in breadcrumbs, egg and mix until incorporated.
  • Then with a cookie scoop measure out your meatballs. 1.5 tablespoon-sized meatballs is what I did but feel free to do whatever size you want.
  • Turn saute on Instant Pot and pour in your oil. Then once it gets hot add in your meatballs and brown them on all sides.
  • To fully cook meatballs it takes 6-8 minutes or if you plan to do sauce like I did you can cook for 5 minutes, and then add in the sauce and finish cooking in the mixture.
  • Turn off the saute and make sure to scrape the bottom of your pot so you don't get burn notice. Add in your tomato sauce ingredients, stir well and then seal and cook on high pressure for 5 minutes on high pressure.
  • Natural release your meatballs and serve over a bed of pasta, on a hoagie bun or however you would like.

Notes

Depending on the size of meatballs you make will depend how many you end up with.
