Cook Time 20 minutes
Total Time 25 minutes
Author Brooke Burks

Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground beef lean
  • 1/2 pound ground pork
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1/4 cup half and half
  • 1/2 cup onion chopped
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1.5 cups beef broth
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire Sauce
  • 1 cup mushrooms chopped
  • 2 tablespoons Olive oil

Instructions

  • In a large mixing bowl combine, beef, pork, onions, breadcrumbs, half and half, egg, salt, pepper and nutmeg. Gently mix to combine. Careful not to overmix.
    1 pound ground beef, 1/2 pound ground pork, 1/2 cup breadcrumbs, 1/4 cup half and half, 1/2 cup onion, 1 egg, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper, 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
  • Using a scoop or spoon, portion out meatballs and set aside. Add 1 to 2 tablespoons olive oil to the liner of the instant pot and set to sauté. Once oil is hot, brown meatballs in batches to not overcrowd the pot. Set aside.
    2 tablespoons Olive oil
  • Leaving the IP on sauté, add beef broth, heavy cream and Worcestershire sauce. Use a spoon or whisk to scrape the browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Cook until just starts to thicken. Add in chopped mushrooms and cook a minute more. Add meatballs back in.
    1.5 cups beef broth, 1/2 cup heavy cream, 1 tablespoon Worcestershire Sauce, 1 cup mushrooms
  • Turn the machine off. Cover with the lid, seal the vent to pressure cook and cook on normal pressure for 9-10 minutes. Allow the pressure to naturally release for 5-10 minutes, release remaining pressure, remove the lid and stir. For added creaminess, add a splash more of heavy cream and saute until desired thickness.
