"Whether it is coming to and from work or your kid’s sports practice, sometimes it feels almost impossible to make dinner. That is why I love super simple dishes that come together in less than 30 minutes and these Instant Pot meatballs do just that! With 10 minutes of prep and 18 total cooking minutes (8 cooking minutes and 10 natural releasing minutes), you will be able to have a delicious meal in minutes, even on busy nights! This recipe could be easily adapted to work in a slow cooker as well."
