My Method:
Prep time:
Cook time:
Serves: 4-6
Ingredients
- 2 lbs ground beef
- ¾ cup uncooked long grain rice
- 2 teaspoons onion powder
- 15 ounces tomato sauce
- 13 ounces water (fill up the tomato sauce can about an inch from the top)
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- ½ teaspoon celery salt
- ½ teaspoon pepper
- ¼ teaspoon celery seeds
Instructions
- Combine all ingredients, except tomato sauce and water.
- Heat the liquids in the pressure cooker using the saute button
- Shape into meatballs and drop in meatballs as you make them (having more than one layer of meatballs is fine, but only the ones on top will have the rice "porcupine" out)
- Close cover and turn to close. Ensure steam valve is set to sealing.
- Press "Manual" and set time to 15 minutes
- After Instant Pot beeps, let pot sit for 10 minutes and manually release pressure.
It was delicious and had no problems with dry meatballs or uneven rice cooking like I've had in the oven in the past.
When you say tomato sauce, are you meaning just plain canned tomato sauce or pasta sauce?
ReplyDeletePlain canned tomato sauce :)
DeleteDo you stick the individual rice grains into the meatballs or do the grains stick out on their own as you shape them?
ReplyDeleteYou mix them right in with the meatballs. It's hard to see but there are two layers in the liner. Only the ones on top (that are not submerged in sauce) will "porcupine" out like that.
DeleteGrowing up we made these with Beef rice-a-roni mix - Brown meatballs, then add water and seasoning packet to pan, cook til done). Never thought of doing them in "the pot". Definitely going to try!
ReplyDeleteAre they "browned" on the outside?
ReplyDeleteHow many meatballs does this make?
ReplyDeleteI can't get over how 'creepy' these look, lol, but I really want to try them!! ;)
ReplyDeleteIf you can't have tomatoes, use brith and taco or burrito seasoning!
ReplyDeleteSo yummy! We always served them with mashed potatoes when I was a kid. One of my favorite family meals!
ReplyDeleteWhen you say Manual for 15 minutes... do you mean high or Low?
