- Next combine all the meatball ingredients in a separate bowl. Using a red container (or a 3/4 cup measuring cup) measure and form your meatballs. Wrap each meatball in a layer of onion.
- Arrange the meatballs in a stackable steaming rack, four meatballs on each layer. Smother each meatball with sauce then close the steaming container.
- Add 2 cups water to the bottom of the Instant Pot insert and the trivet. Place the steaming rack onto of the trivet then close the Instant Pot lid, turning the pressure valve to sealing.
- Using the manual setting cook the meatballs on high pressure for 15-18 minutes (I did 15). Let the pressure release naturally (about 8 minutes). Remove the steaming rack from the Instant Pot and serve the meatballs topped with any extra sauce you have.
