Join the discussionHow would I do this without a pressure cooker?
Hi Loretta, you can check out this version of the recipe where you can bake the meatballs in the oven! Hope this helps.
How many meatballs does this make?
Hi Kelsey! That is an important question! We’re going to update that recipe to make it more clear! Each serving is 4 meatballs. So for 4 servings this would make 16 meatballs.
