This simple meatball recipe is the perfect choice for every party but you can also serve them as an appetizer during a weekend dinner with your family and friends. Just place them nicely on a tray with toothpicks and a small bowl of sauce to be used as a dip by your guests.
These meatballs are quick to make and you only need 3 ingredients, other than your Instant Pot, of course. You can either buy ready-made meatballs or make them yourself in less than 10 minutes using fresh ground beef and the spices you like the most.

Just want to shout out a THANK YOU for these amazing InstaPot recipes!!! I don’t have to be searching any longer for recipes because I’ve found so many on this website. Thank for sharing!
Wow big THANK YOU to you eve! These comments inspire me to keep and adding new recipes :]
These are great. Instead of BBQ sauce, I used chile sauce. It looks like ketchup but more flavorful. It’s sold in the ketchup section.
Sounds like a great option for replacement 🙂
I would like to make my own meatballs – what would the time difference be?
