Recipe Tips
For a healthier version of this recipe, use ground turkey or chicken in place of the ground beef. You can also use whole wheat breadcrumbs, and reduce the amount of Parmesan cheese to cut down on the fat and calories. For added flavor, you can also add some chopped fresh herbs to the meatball mixture.
You can also add other ingredients to the sauce, such as Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, or Dijon mustard. For a spicy version, you can add some red pepper flakes or hot sauce to the sauce. Serve these meatballs with some steamed vegetables or a side salad for a complete meal.
For an even faster version of this recipe, you can use pre-made frozen meatballs. Just add the frozen meatballs to the Instant Pot and cook according to the instructions. You can also add some frozen vegetables to the pot for a complete meal in one pot.
