Bourbon-Glazed Meatballs the Easy Way

By :Instant Pot Holiday Cookbook by Heather Schlueter

Using pre-made frozen meatballs and store-bought barbecue sauce is definitely the fastest way to make these delicious sweet, tangy, and tasty cocktail treats. But if you have a great recipe for homemade meatballs and the time to make them, by all means use them here. There’s no need to brown the meatballs first if you’re making them from scratch, just don’t crowd them together too much in the pot.
