Instant Pot Spaghetti and Meatballs

by | Instant Pot, Meat, Recipes, Staples | 0 comments

I have spent the last 2-ish years really playing it safe with the Instant Pot… mostly making soup… We make a lot of soup! There’s nothing wrong with soup, I really love it. This year I am determined to branch out and start creating more recipes in the Instant Pot that are anything but soup. I can guarantee you will still find more new soup recipes mixed in here too, I just really love making soup in the IP!

We all absolutely LOVED this recipe-I have never seen our kids so willingly eat vegetables and meat! They actually asked for it the night after we ran out of leftovers, that is when I knew it was a hit! When our little lady says “Blog! Oh my gosh, BLOG!” after taking a bite it is a really good sign.

This recipe is a great representation of the “Instant” pot since it is done in 20 minutes flat-I am not kidding. If you want to skip using the veggies, or you skip sauteeing them, it can be done in 15. Total time for pressure up on our machine was just under 10 minutes each time we made this. The cook time is 5 minutes and for this recipe you will be best served to do a quick release, meaning that pressure will be released as soon as it is done cooking, then you’ll be able to eat your meal ASAP!

Here is a quick video tutorial for this recipe, scroll down to find the print recipe just below the video!
