Why we love it
Meatballs are the perfect quick and easy meal for busy and active weeknight dinner. You can put them in almost any sauce. With this meatball recipe however, you are sure to get your dose of nutrients and veggies in as well.
And by cooking the recipe in the Instant pot, this one dish meal can be prepared quickly without having to “watch the stove”. And who doesn’t love that?!
In addition, this recipe is the perfect vehicle for a range of different veggies. I have added frozen spinach as an option, but you can also add brocolli, kale, carrots, or any other veggie that you have on hand, if you wish.
The mushroom sauce is simple and quick to make, but it packs a punch in terms of flavour.
What to serve with it?
These Instant pot meatballs in mushroom sauce go really well with mashed potatoes, as well as tagliatelle pasta.
You can also serve it with rice if you prefer, my favorite is long-grain brown rice or wild rice. (I usually have my rice cooker going at the same time.)
How to store it?
If you want to prepare this meatballs in mushroom sauce dish in advance and store it, I recommend letting it cool and placing it in an airtight glass container. It should last at least 2-3 days in the fridge.
