Description

The most tender meatballs you’ve ever had in your life and cooked in only 5 minutes!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground hamburger
  • 1 lb ground italian sausage
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (affiliate)
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1 tablespoon dried parsley
  • 1 teaspoon italian seasoning (affiliate)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 1 cup parmesan
  • 1 jar your favorite pasta sauce (affiliate)

Instructions

  1. In large mixing bowl, mix together all ingredients but the spaghetti sauce. (I like to mix with my hands!)
  2. With 1 inch cookie scoop or a spoon, form round meatballs, about 1 inch in diameter.
  3. Form a layer of meatballs in the bottom of your pressure cooker and then continue to layer up as long as you have remaining meatballs.
  4. Pour pasta sauce over top of meatballs and lock the lid.
  5. Cook on high pressure for 5 minutes with a 10 minute natural release followed by a quick release to let out any remaining pressure.
  6. Serve meatballs on top of spaghetti, by themselves, or as meatball sandwiches on toasted hoagie buns with melted mozzarella cheese.
