Meatballs with Cranberry Sauce
Description
This recipe utilizes frozen cocktail meatballs combined in the Instant Pot with jellied cranberry sauce, additional cranberries, sweet chili sauce, and Dijon mustard. After pressure cooking for 8 minutes, the sauces meld to form a balanced glaze that is tangy, sweet, and gently spicy. The inclusion of whole cranberries adds bursts of fruitiness, contrasting with the savory meatballs.
The quick release keeps the meatballs tender while thickening the sauce slightly. The resulting dish can be served directly from the pot while warm or kept on a warming setting for easy serving at gatherings.
These meatballs provide a convenient option for party appetizers or snacks, combining ready-made components with minimal preparation and cooking.
Ingredients
- 48 cocktail meatballs usually one large bag, frozen
- 14 ounces cranberry sauce jellied
- 12 ounces sweet chili sauce
- 1 cup Cranberry fresh or frozen
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
Instructions
- Place frozen cocktail meatballs, jellied cranberry sauce, cranberries, sweet chili sauce and Dijon mustard into the Instant Pot, stir to cover all of the meatballs as best you can. The jellied cranberry won't mix well and that is ok.
- Lock lid in place and cook on manual high pressure for 8 minutes.
- Use quick release method.
- Stir sauce and meatballs until sauces fully combine.
- Serve immediately or turn Instant Pot onto "warm" function and serve out of the pot.
