Ingredients
- 1.5 lbs of Ground Veal Beef, Turkey or Meatball Mix (For this recipe, I used ground veal and ground sirloin).
- 3 cups Tuttorosso Crushed Tomatoes
- 1 Large Onion Grated
- 2 Cloves Garlic finely chopped
- 1 Tsp. Dried Oregano
- 1 Tsp. Ground Cinnamon
- 1 Tbsp. Olive Oil
- 1 Large Egg
- 2 tsp. Salt
- 1 tsp. Pepper
Instructions
-
Prepare the Instant Pot by turning it on and hitting the saute button. Drizzle a tablespoon of olive oil in the bottom to coat the pan. It's ready when the HOT message is displayed.
-
In a large bowl, mix all ingredients together except for the crushed tomato.
-
Form meatballs place on a sheet pan.
-
Drop one by one into the pot. It's okay for the meatballs to touch. They will not stick together! Add 3 cups tomato, and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
-
Cover securely and check be sure that the steam valve is in the closed position.
-
Set your Instant Pot to Low Pressure for 10 minutes. Let the steam release naturally.
-
Next, once all the steam has released, unlock the lid and test the seasoning. Add more salt and pepper as needed.
-
Test for doneness by cutting into a meatball to check if it's cooked to your liking. If they aren't ready, cook for another 5 minutes on Low Pressure and test again.

Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and serve with your choice of spaghetti, rice, zucchini noodles or alone with a side of tossed garden salad.
