INSTANT POT PRESSURE COOKER MEATBALL SUBS

Steps:

• In the insert pot of your Instant Pot, add 1 cup of water. Place trivet into insert pot and set frozen meatballs on top of the trivet.
• Lock the lid in place and set the vent to the sealed position. Using the Manual/Pressure Cook button, select a 6 minute cook time at high pressure.
• Once the cook time is complete, perform a quick release of pressure. After the pressure has released and the valve has dropped, carefully remove the lid. Press the Cancel/Keep Warm button to turn off the pressure cooker.
• Gently lift out the trivet of meatballs and discard the cooking water. Place the meatballs directly into the Instant Pot, followed by the sauce and basil, oregano, Italian seasoning, and garlic powder (if using). Stir to combine.
• Use the Saute feature to simmer the sauce for a couple of minutes until it is heated through.
• Place toasted sub rolls onto a baking sheet. Top each roll with meatballs and sauce, followed by two slices of provolone cheese (alternatively, you can place the cheese directly on the roll and broil, then add meatballs on top of the cheese).
• Put baking sheet into the oven and turn on the broiler, allowing cheese to melt. Remove from oven and serve.

PRESSURE COOKER MEATBALL SUBS (OPEN FACED)

Steps:

• 1. Mix the ground beef, egg, onion, Parm-Reg cheese, bread crumbs, Italian seasoning, Red pepper flakes, salt, pepper, garlic powder together well. Form into 12 even sized meatballs. Place in the pressure cooker. Add optional sweet onion and green pepper if using.
• 2. Combine the pasta sauce and sugar and pour over the meatballs in the pressure cooker. place the lid on the pressure cooker and cook on low pressure for 8 minutes. Allow pressure to release naturally (or release pressure, please be careful when manually releasing pressure as it will spray out hot liquid!) Remove the lid after pressure is released, skim the sauce for fat and discard.
• 3. Split the buns in half long ways (so cut them in half as you would if making a sandwhich, but split them all the way through). Lay the buns on a boiling pan and brush with oil. Place under the broiler until lightly toasted.
• 4. Remove buns from the broiler and spread 2 tablespoon of sauce on each of the toasted buns. Cut the meatballs in half and place 4 halved meatballs on the bun cut side down. Top with mozzarella cheese and return it to the broiler. Broil until the cheese is melted and bubbly. We pour the remaining sauce into the bowl and use it for dipping or adding to sandwiches. If using optional sweet onion and pepper, remove from the cooker and place in a bowl with the sauce. Serve with a salad or fries!!! Enjoy!!
