Ingredients

  • ½ cup water
  • 26 oz frozen meatballs fully cooked
  • 24 oz pasta sauce
  • 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
  • 2 teaspoon dried parsley flakes

Instructions

  • Place a trivet in the bottom of the Instant Pot. Add water, meatballs, pasta sauce, Italian seasoning, and parsley. Smooth the sauce over the meatballs, mixing in the seasoning.
  • Seal the pressure cooker and cook on high pressure for 5 minutes followed by a quick release. Carefully remove the trivet and return the meatballs to the pressure cooker liner.

Notes

Storage: Store leftover meatballs in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 5 days. To reheat, cover the meatballs with a paper towel and microwave in 30-second intervals.
Food safety: Fully-cooked frozen meatballs should be reheated to a minimum internal temperature of 165°F/74°C.
