Pressure Cooker Meatballs For Italian Sub Or Pasta Recipes

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine eggs and milk; add the bread crumbs, cheese, salt, pepper and garlic powder. Add beef and sausage; mix well. Shape into 1-in. balls. Preheat broiler. Place meatballs in a 15x10x1-in. baking pan. Broil 4 in. from the heat for 4 minutes; turn and broil 3 minutes longer. , Transfer to a 5-qt. slow cooker. Combine the tomato sauce and paste, onion, green pepper, wine, water and seasonings; pour over meatballs. Cover and cook on low for 4-5 hours. Serve on rolls. Sprinkle with shredded cheese if desired.

Steps:

• 1. Combine all meatball ingredients in a large ziplock bag, except for the ground beef. Mix until uniform. Add ground beef and mix until combined. Form into fairly large, uniform balls. (I think mine were around 2" across.) Add meatballs to pressure cooker.
• 2. Combine sauce ingredients in a large bowl. Pour over meatballs. (Or use store bought.)
• 3. Secure pressure cooker lid, seal vent and cook for 8 minutes. At the end of cooking time, very carefully release steam.
• 4. For Sandwiches: Butter Italian rolls and toast until golden. Place slices of cheese on bottom toasted bun. (I love fresh mozzarella, but regular mozzarella or provolone are just as good.) Cut meatballs in half and place on top of cheese. Ladle warm marinara sauce over meatballs. Top with grated parmesan cheese and yellow banana pepper rings. We love these subs served with small ramekins with additional dipping sauce of either warm marinara or Italian dressing. (My husband likes his with shredded lettuce, sliced red onion, thin tomato slices and banana pepper rings.) For Pasta: Simply top or toss with your favorite pasta. Top it off with grated parmesan cheese and chopped, fresh Italian flat leaf parsley for garnish.

Steps:

• In 12-inch nonstick skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Add onion; cook 4 to 6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until onion is softened.
• Add hot water, milk, tomatoes, and sauce mix (from box); stir to combine. Stir in uncooked pasta (from box) and frozen meatballs. Heat to boiling, stirring occasionally. Reduce heat; cover and simmer 9 to 11 minutes, stirring occasionally, until pasta is tender. Remove from heat.
• Top with cheese; cover and let stand 2 to 3 minutes or until cheese is melted. Sprinkle with parsley.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, soak bread in milk until absorbed. Using your hands, break up bread; mix in beef and pork. Stir in egg, minced onion, thyme, oregano and salt. Form into 3/4 inch (2 cm) balls. This is often a smaller size than you think! Set aside.
• In a pressure cooker, melt butter over medium-high heat; stir in flour until moistened. Gradually whisk in beef broth and water. Bring to a simmer. Carefully transfer meatballs to sauce.
• Lock the lid in place and bring cooker up to full pressure over medium -high heat. Reduce to medium-low, just to maintain even pressure, and cook for 10 minutes. Remove from heat and release pressure quickly. Stir in cream and simmer until sauce is creamy and thick. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve over cooked egg noodles, sprinkled with garnish of choice.
