Instant Pot Swedish Meatballs (Page 2 ) | September 18, 2023

Meat. For authentic swedish meatballs, you need reindeer, haha. But today, we’re using a combination of ground beef and ground pork!

Breadcrumbs– plain is best, homemade works great too. Avoid Italian and panko crumbs

Allspice– it’s the combination of warm flavors that make up this unique spice blend, and give your meatballs that authentic taste.

Onion– you’ll want to MINCE the onion by rubbing it on a zester or grater for best results. No big chunks here!

Step by Step Instructions

STEP 1. Form the meatballs

For homemade meatballs, combine ground beef, ground pork, minced onion, breadcrumbs, seasonings, eggs, and heavy cream in a large bowl. Using your hands, combine ingredients completely until thoroughly mixed.

Roll mixture into 1-inch sized meatballs, packing tightly. You’ll have about 75 meatballs.

STEP 2. Cook meatballs

First, partially cook the meatballs in batches. Melt butter on the bottom of your instant pot using the saute function. Add one layer of meatballs, cooking about 3 minutes on each side.

Remove cooked meatballs and repeat with another layer of meatballs.

When all the meatballs are partially cooked, drain the excess grease and add the beef broth to the pot to deglaze the pan. Use a wooden spoon to make sure you scrape off any pieces of meat or spice stuck to the pan. Turn off the pot.
