Sometimes I cook things for dinner and it’s really good but I don’t share it with you because I think, “wait, I can’t blog this because it’s too easy, it’s barely a recipe”.

This was almost one of those times.

But today, for some reason, I had another thought come to me immediately after dinner. I thought “Well, it is super easy and that is EXACTLY why I should tell people. This might be something they haven’t thought of.”. So, call it a recipe or call it a suggestion or heck just take it as me bragging that I made dinner in 6 minutes. Whatever you call it, I’m happy at the end of the day that I’m sharing it because it was yummy.

I hope you are one of my readers that took advantage of Prime Day and bought an Instant Pot for super cheap. If not, seriously, still consider it. I paid full price and it was worth every penny. I actually use my Instant Pot more than I use my Ninja Blender and more than my panini machine. I’m confident in saying it’s my most used kitchen appliance/tool.

If you don’t have an Instant Pot yet, you can make these meatballs in gravy on the stove, it will just take longer.

Wondering what else you can make in this magical Instant Pot? Here is my collection of Instant Pot Recipes.
