Instant Pot Meatball Sliders
Saucy, cheesy instant pot meatball sliders are a satisfying, delicious meal you can make in less than 10 minutes. Enjoy a low stress, savory slider whenever the craving hits with this easy recipe.
Equipment
- Instant Pot
Ingredients
- 1 bag frozen mini meatballs about 16 mini meatballs
- 2 cups marinara sauce
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese
- 12 slider rolls
- 2 tbsp butter melted
- 2 tbsp parmesan cheese freshly grated
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp fresh parsley finely chopped
Instructions
- Add the meatballs, marinara, and water to the Instant Pot. Heat the Instant Pot using the Pressure Cook-Normal-High Pressure for 4 minutes. Make sure the valve is in the “sealing” position.
- Once the Instant Pot has finished cooking, manually release the pressure by switching the valve to the “venting” position. When the Instant Pot has depressurized, remove the lid and add the shredded mozzarella. Stir to combine.
- Place 1-2 meatballs (depending on the size) of each slider bun. Top with additional mozzarella, if desired. In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, parmesan, garlic powder, and fresh chopped parsley. Brush the butter mix over the top of each bun. Serve immediately.
Notes
- If you’re making these sliders ahead of time, I recommend toasting the buns in a 400F oven for 5-7 minutes so they don’t become soggy. If you plan on serving the sliders immediately, you can skip this step.
- The meatballs can be kept warm for up to 1 hour using the “Keep Warm” function on the Instant Pot.
- I used Sweet Hawaiian Roll Sliders but any slider buns will work in this recipe.
- I do not recommend keeping any leftovers as the buns will get soggy if stored more than an hour.
