Beer Pork Meatballs in Multicooker, one of my new Italian Recipes with instant pot from my book. A truly delicious, easy, and quick Main Courses with instant pot to prepare and cook. Perfect for an evening with friends or family. Pork meatballs are a classic at my house; I’ve made them many times in different ways, like Pork Meatballs in Glass Cooking or Pork Meatballs with instant pot, but this time I decided to make them with beer, because they are flavorful and aromatic, and as the alcohol evaporates during cooking, they are suitable for everyone, including kids.
If you love cooking with the multicooker, I recommend serving the beer pork meatballs in multicooker with some of my Side Dishes with instant pot, including the Onions with instant pot or the Mashed Potatoes in instant pot or the Roasted Potatoes with instant pot.
