I have another Instant Pot recipe for you here (it actually could be made easily in a crock-pot too for a few hours). Today I made meatballs in my Instant Pot and these were a bit different from the normal recipes you see. I know you usually see these with BBQ sauce and grape jelly BUT I made mine with mild banana peppers and tomatoes from a can. This may sound a little odd but it was a amazing. I’ll give a shout out to my Uncle Terry for this inspiration. Now it’s my job to talk him into getting an Instant Pot.
I don’t like tomatoes at all. If I see chunks I pick out so I did the next best thing. In my Ninja (or food processor would work well too), I blended up these three things. When it was smooth, I dumped the sauce into the inner liner of my Instant Pot.
I then added in my meatballs. I usually do fix my own from scratch but this time it just didn’t happen. I added a couple of small packages of frozen meatballs that I had hanging out in my freezer and pressed the manual button, sealed the pot and adjusted the time to 6 minutes.
This will take a few minutes for the pot to come to pressure since the meatballs are frozen.
When the time went off I did a quick release. It smelled so good that I didn’t have the patience for a natural pressure release.
These meatballs are great on mini slider buns or just to eat like they are as an appetizer. It’s definitely a great party food!
