Shape the meat mixture into balls about 1 ½ inches in diameter – about the size of a golf ball. It should make about 20-22 meatballs.

Place the lid on the instant pot and set the vent to the sealing position.
8
Cook on manual high pressure for ⏱️ 8 minutes. It will take about ⏱️ 15 minutes for the instant pot to pressurize. Once the cooking time has elapsed, naturally release the pressure for ⏱️ 5 minutes. Release the remaining pressure and check the meatballs to make sure the internal temperature is 165 degrees.
