Ingredients

Instructions

  • In a large mixing bowl combine: ground beef, uncooked rice, Worcestershire sauce, parsley, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper and egg. Mix with hands until everything is just evenly combined.
  • Using a medium size scoop or 2 tablespoons, make 24 meatballs and set aside on plate.
  • Set the instant pot to sauté and add the water and marinara sauce to the pot. Bring the sauce to a simmer and then turn off the instant pot.
  • Gently place the meatballs in the pot and spoon a little bit of sauce over the meatballs.
  • Secure lid, set valve to sealing position. Set the pot on manual high pressure for 15 minutes.
  • Once the time is up, let the instant pot do a natural pressure release for 15 minutes, then do a quick release.
  • After the pin has dropped, carefully remove the lid.
  • Let the meatballs rest for 10 minutes. Then serve and enjoy!
