Instant Pot HEALTHIER BBQ Meatballs

Ingredients

• 2 pounds lean ground beef (or ground turkey)

• 2 teaspoons garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon fine sea salt
• 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 1/2 cups barbecue sauce

Instructions

1. Roll the ground beef into 1 inch balls, placing them inside your electric pressure cooker in a single layer. It's okay if the meatballs touch.  (Mine were in multiple layers and cooked well). 
2. Sprinkle the meatballs evenly with garlic powder, sea salt, and black pepper. 
3. Pour homemade Maple BBQ Sauce over meatballs Click HERE for Maple BBQ Sauce Recipe
4.  Place the lid on the cooker and make sure the pressure knob is in the SEALING position. Select the MANUAL/PRESSURE COOK function, high pressure, and use the +/- buttons until the display reads 5 minutes.
5. When the cooker beeps to let you know it’s finished, switch the pressure knob from the SEALING to the VENTING position, causing a quick pressure release. Use caution while the steam escapes—it’s hot. 

 

Serve with brown rice and/or a side salad
