Have you caught the Instant Pot craze yet? My feed on Facebook and Instagram is filled with friends that are talking about their new Instant Pot – either asking for the best Instant pot recipes or just general advice on how to use their new electric pressure cooker.
I’ve been a big fan of my slow cooker for years! I figured that I’d give the electric pressure a try, since it cooks much faster than the slow cooker. So, I finally gave into the Instant Pot mania, and ordered one from Amazon a few weeks ago.
I’ve been using my new pressure cooker constantly, and I’m always on the hunt for fun, fresh new Instant Pot recipes to try out for my busy family. This Swedish meatballs recipe came out UH-mazing! I love the simplicity of being able to dump a bunch of stuff into it, shut the lid, and walk away. When the timer is up – dinner is done! How awesome is that?! A delicious one pot dinner that you’ll make over and over again…
I’ve tried beef, pasta, and today I’m showing you how to make Instant Pot Swedish Meatballs, which is also kind of like a meatball stroganoff…whatever you call it, there won’t any be leftovers of this dish! I used Johnsonville Meatballs for this recipe. They’re frozen, made from premium cuts of pork, and fully cooked, which makes them a great choice. They’re available in three flavors: Original Italian, Homestyle, and Three Cheese – I used the Homestyle in this recipe.
Ready to get started on your new favorite dinner? Here’s what you’ll need…
Instant Pot Swedish Meatballs Recipe
INGREDIENTS
– 1.5 cups low sodium beef broth

– (2) 12 oz boxes cream of mushroom soup (mixed with only 1 box of water for both)

– 1 cup sour cream
INSTRUCTIONS
1. First, add beef broth, milk, cream of mushroom soup and water into the Instant Pot.
2. Next, add in the package of egg noodles into the Instant Pot.
3. Layer the meatballs on top of the egg noodles in a single layer.
4. Manually set the Instant Pot to cook for 12 minutes, sealed.
5. When there’s 2 minutes of cook time remaining, carefully (using a kitchen hand towel – the steam is super hot!) release the steam valve to venting.
6. Once the steam has completely released, carefully open the lid of pressure cooker away from you. What you’ll have will look like the photo below:
7. Stir in one cup of sour cream and mix thoroughly.

What is 12 oz box of cream of mushroom soup?
Hi Michelle,
This is what I used: http://amzn.to/2hCYOEp (aff link)
You can get it at Whole Foods and similar stores.
Thanks for stopping by!
this may be a silly question but we dont have boxes of soup in my hometown store. Would you substitute Cambell’s cream of mushroom soup with using two cans of soup + 1 can of water? This recipe looks awesome to use in my instant pot! Thanks!
