Instant Pot Grape Jelly Meatballs
Description
The recipe starts by placing frozen meatballs on a trivet inside the pressure cooker with water underneath to steam cook them quickly. After cooking and draining, the meatballs are combined with a sauce made from heating grape jelly and bottled chili sauce until smooth. This sauce coats the meatballs, giving them a glossy, sweet-spicy flavor and sticky texture.
This dish is suited for serving as a party appetizer or a simple main when paired with sides. The Instant Pot method expedites cooking frozen meatballs and allows the sauce to effectively glaze them. The grape jelly adds sweetness that balances with the heat and tang of chili sauce.
