Quick Easy Meatballs Recipe

One So you have a craving for Meatballs tonight for dinner, but there isn’t enough time to cook them in your Crockpot.  Get out your Pressure Cooker and in 30 minutes you will have tasty, juicy, delicious, moist Meatballs that taste as you cooked them all day. 

Yep, it is true you can make fresh Homemade Meatballs in the Pressure Cooker. pressure-cooker-meatballsCreate our Meatball Recipe but instead of cooking in the Slow Cooker/Crockpot just place them in your Pressure Cooker

I know it sounds a little crazy, but I have been doing them this way for years.  The first time I tried it I was worried the meatball might shrink up too much, but they really don’t. 


One night after work I was really in the mood for some meatballs, I would typically cook them in a Slow Cooker all day.  But I didn’t have that kind of time for this night so I tried it in the Pressure Cooker and they turned out Delicious.  

PRESSURE COOKER TIP:  Even though you are putting in a sauce/gravy you still should add some water to the bottom of the Pressure Cooker.  Otherwise, the sauce/gravy will burn on the bottom.  The sauce/gravy gets a little thin in the Pressure Cooker so if you like a thick sauce/gravy make an extra pan of it.  

Enjoy Meatballs and Pasta or how about a delicious Meatball Sandwich or Meatballs and garlic bread.  A great addition to any Italian meal, the family will keep coming back for more.

One of the best parts of cooking Meatballs in the Pressure Cooker, there is no splashing of pasta sauce.  The lid is tightly set and you don’t open it until they are done.  No Mess there.  They are definitely an Italian Comfort Food at any time of the year.
