Instant Pot Meatball Stew
Description
The Instant Pot Meatball Stew mixes frozen meatballs with aromatic onion, sliced celery, peeled carrots, diced russet potatoes, and minced garlic. Tomato paste and Worcestershire sauce add richness and umami to the stew, while Italian seasoning lends herbal balance. Seasoned with salt and black pepper, the ingredients combine in beef broth and cook under high pressure for 8 minutes, ensuring the meatballs heat through and the vegetables become tender without losing shape. A quick release prevents overcooking. The resulting stew has a thick, savory broth with tender meatballs and soft vegetables, making it satisfying and suitable as a standalone meal.
The recipe accommodates using homemade meatballs if desired. Leftovers should be stored in an airtight container and refrigerated, lasting 5 to 7 days. This convenience makes it easy to prepare in advance and enjoy throughout the week.
