Join the discussionHas anyone tried this where they cooked the meatballs before freezing? Just thinking I could throw in frozen cooked meatballs in the IP for about 5 min then heat through with the sauce added on saute.
I have not tried it that way but we would LOVE for you to report back and let us know if you try it and it works!
