Instant Pot Meatball Sandwich recipe:

I love instant pot recipe meals that the entire family will enjoy and that only takes a few minutes to prepare. This recipe only takes about 20 minutes thanks to the instant pot from start to finish!

It’s perfect for busy nights or when you just need a quick meal. The meatballs are packed with a ton of flavor and the tomato sauce is the best ever. I top it with a bunch of cheese and it is SO delicious.

Easy Instant Pot Meatballs:

I love when we have leftovers because I serve theInstant Pot Meatballs over spaghetti. It’s so good and everyone feels like they are eating something entirely different. I love meals I can cook once but eat twice and it is a great way to save time.

We have even frozen the meatballs and they are really good. It’s so nice to be able to pull something out of the freezer in a pinch. Everyone loves this so much that I rarely have leftovers though.

Sometimes, I will make a double batch just so I can serve it another night with spaghetti instead of hoagie rolls.

A good Instant Pot is a must!

I am using an8 quart Instant pot but you can use a 6 quartif you prefer. However, if you plan to make a double batch, the larger size would be better. I use my instant pot all the time and it’s become one of my favorite kitchen appliances.

In the past, I would get busy and forget to take something out of the freezer. Now that I have theinstant pot, dinner can be ready fast.

It only takes a short amount of time to pressure cook this meal but it taste like it was slow cooked all day.The meat is so tender.

Ingredients:

Meatballs Ingredients:

How to make Meatball Subs:

• Add beef, bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, Italian Seasoning, and salt and pepper in a large bowl. Mix with your hands until combined.
• Form into 1 or 2 inch meatballs. I made 20, but you could easily make 24. Add to the pressure cooker. Brown each meatball in your Instant pot by using the searing method.

• Once browned, pour the 2 cans of crushed tomatoes over the Meatballs. Add the Italian seasoning, salt and pepper, and fresh parsley.
• Cover and make sure the valve is set to the sealing position. Set to high pressure for 7 minutes on the meat stew setting and lock the lid.You can do a quick release after the cook time.
• Place 3 meatballs on a hoagie bun. Spoon the sauce over the meatballs in the hoagie bun and top with the mozzarella cheese and enjoy once cheese melted! You can also useprovolone cheese.
• We like to heat our hoagie buns on a baking sheet to get them a little warm.

Note: You can add a cup of water if you want the sauce thinner.

What to serve with Meatballs Subs?

Can you frozen meatballs:

Yes, you can! If you do not have time to make homemade meatballs, you can use frozen pre-cooked meatballs. Just reduce the cooking time and add a little olive oil.

There is no shame in using frozen meatballs for this recipe. I have and my family still loves the way they turn out.
