- Mix onions, ground beef, garlic, parsley, eggs, salt, bread crumbs and oregano well in a large bowl. Knead together.
- Using approximately .25 cups meat, flatten out a patty.
- Place a cream cheese cube in the middle of the meatball and wrap the meat around the cream cheese, sealing the cheese within the meatball.
- Saute meatballs and oil in Instant Pot in batches until browned.
- Place all meatballs in Instant Pot, trying to keep layers as even as possible. Pour water on top.
- Lock lid into place and seal steam nozzle. Cook on high pressure for 6 minutes.
- Release pressure naturally for 5 minutes then release any remaining pressure.

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.
