Join the discussionI made this today – from frozen. I set the IP on timer so it was done (a bit ahead) when we got in from football. My son INHALED it and is taking it for lunch! DELISH!
Yay! So happy to hear that!
This is going on the list to make soon
YAY! We hope you enjoy!
This looks super Yum! I was thinking how great it would be if you stuffed the meatballs…wrapping the beef mixture around a piece of cheese. I may just try it both ways.
That’s a great idea, Jane! If you give it a try, let us know which works best for you.
Just a curiosity question, but why is the recipe for 6 servings and the cooking size directions are for 4 servings?
Lilly, that’s a great question! The serving size for this recipe is 6. The note in the directions that mentions the serving size being 4 is a general note/disclaimer we include in all our pressure cooker recipes.
I like the idea of having this is a freezer meal. But I don’t understand the sauteing step, do you sauté the meatballs that are already in sauce?
Correct – if you’re cooking from frozen, to freeze you’ll follow the freezing instructions. Then on serving day, you’ll follow the serving day instructions. The saute step is to help defrost the meal and create liquid for the pot to come to pressure. Hope this helps! Enjoy!
You do not cook the meatballs before putting in with other ingredients?
Nope, no need to precook the meatballs. They are cooked in the sauce. 🙂
Made a double batch and brought this to a game night. People went for thirds, or fouths and it disappeared so fast! Will definitely make this again.
❤️
How long did you cook for double batch??
Made this from frozen today and it tasted great. The only thing I would change is I wish the sauce was a little thicker. Maybe I could saute the sauce a little longer next time before adding the meatballs to thicken it up. Great twist on a normal meatball sub!
Delicious! I lightly buttered then toasted the sandwich rolls before assembling the sandwiches and it was great.
Sounds delicious!!
I altered it to make it Keto and these were delicious. Now one of those “comfort” foods we don’t miss, and so easy to keep on hand.
That’s amazing! What a great adaptation!! Thanks for sharing!!
