Ikea
Every time I make the trip to IKEA it’s a must to visit the cafe and get some Swedish meatballs with fresh vegetables, mashed potatoes, and lingonberry jam. However, making the trip out to IKEA only happens every two months or so. Last time we decided to pick up a package of the Swedish meatballs for home. In reality I should have bought two bags!
Easy Instant Pot Meatballs
Since we’ve made meatballs from scratch in the past we knew just how much time it would take for frozen meatballs. The process is so very simple. Just pop the trivet into the instant pot then toss in the meatballs. Cook for just 6 minutes then quick release. Easy instant pot recipe for a simple comfort food dinner.
We also make the mashed potatoes in the instant pot to go along with the meatballs. Such a quick way to do dinner. However, not all recipes are easy in the instant pot but this one takes no effort.
Instant Pot Gravy
To make the gravy first set the pot to saute mode then add in water and gravy. Just let the pot come to a boil and make sure to whisk often. This allows the gravy from the mix to thicken. Gravy pairs perfectly with the meatballs and a little bit of lingonberry jam.

Now if you could figure out how to cook potatoes at the same time you’d have a real winner!
We actually made the potatoes before hand in the pot. While the meatballs were steaming we blended them up. I will have a post up with video soon of the process. When making for 4 plus people making the potatoes ahead it easiest. For an individual you can do a divider and place cut up potatoes and meatballs in at once.Hope this helps!
