  1. Does “cook and crumble cornbread mix” mean that I cook a pan of cornbread and crumble it or am I just using the dry mix?

    1. Hi Emily! That would be a fine substitute – you will need to play around with the amount but we are with you on the simplicity factor!!

  2. I am new to the instant pot world, but gave this a shot! The flavor was amazing, but the meatballs did not keep their shape. This resulted in a texture that was not pleasant and our only option was to eat it with chips like dip… any tips or suggestions on how to avoid that same issue next time?
