Description

Tender and juicy meatballs coated in a rich barbecue sauce, perfect for busy weeknights or last-minute gatherings.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 cup chopped parsley
  • 1 egg
  • 1 cup barbecue sauce
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, parsley, egg, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
  2. Shape the mixture into small meatballs, about 1 inch in diameter.
  3. Pour the barbecue sauce into the Instant Pot. Place the meatballs on top of the sauce. Close the lid and set the Instant Pot to manual high pressure for 5 minutes.

Notes

For a leaner option, substitute ground beef with ground turkey or chicken. Use fresh breadcrumbs for better texture.
