Meatball appetizer in the pressure cooker

These 5 minute party meatball appetizers in the pressure cooker almost were too simple. The taste and flavor little bombs they were did not disappoint.

For the past 10 years I have been in the same bunco group along with 11 other ladies. We have had very little turnover in the group so we have gotten to know one another pretty well. Playing bunco is a fun little brainless game. We eat, drink, and be merry once a month. The biggest challenge is always what to make food wise for the evening. Many of us try to get creative each month and swap recipes as well. I knew I had to make this recipe and plus show off my new Instant Pot. Considering I was the host, that was easy. I certainly did not drag the pot along with me.

Needless to say, I didn’t win Bunco that night. But my meatball appetizers sure were a win.

Try them for your next party and you too will be a winning host!
