Instant Pot Sweet & Sour Party Meatballs: I’ve partnered with Cooked Perfect® as part of an Influencer Activation and all opinions expressed in my post are my own.
The holidays are upon us, and that means parties, celebrating with friends and family, and FOOD! One of my go-to recipes for feeding a crowd of hungry people is my famous Instant Pot Sweet and Sour Meatballs. But today I’m calling them Party Meatballs because that sounds more fun. These little balls of meaty deliciousness are super fast to make, and they’re seriously irresistible.
I use Cooked Perfect Meatballs for this recipe to cut down on my prep time, and also because they’re really tasty. Cooked Perfect Meatballs come in a variety of delicious flavors, including Homestyle, Angus, Italian Style, and Turkey. Cooked Perfect Meatballs taste just like homemade because they are flame broiled to sear in the natural juices and flavors! They are fully cooked, so they take only minutes to prepare in a microwave oven, stovetop, or Instant Pot!
