Directions:

  1. Mix together Meatball ingredients, except oil

  2. Form into 16 balls

  3. Put 2 tsp oil into Instant Pot and 4 meatballs and brown all sides

  4. Repeat step 3 four times*

  5. Put all meatballs into the Instant Pot

  6. Pour the Rao's Marinara Sauce into the Instant Pot

  7. Add green beans in the Instant Pot

  8. Set the Instant Pot for 10 minutes on high pressure

  9. When done manually "quick release" the  steam

  10. Plate: 4 meatballs, 1 cup green beans, 1/4 cup sauce for each person

*This is very time consuming and the meatballs stick to the bottom A LOT. If you would like you can either skip steps 3 and 4 OR you can put all the meatballs on an oiled baking sheet and broil for about 5 minutes. Yes I know this contradicts the "one pot meal" but it is a A LOT easier ;-)
