Instructions

Step 1

Slow cooker: just dump in all sauce ingredients. Stir. Add the rest and stir again. Meatballs should be just barely covered.

Instant Pot Instructions:

Step 2

Saute onions and mushrooms for a few minutes on Saute High setting.

Step 3

Prepare the chicken broth. Add the garlic for 30 seconds and then dump the chicken broth in.

Step 4

Turn off saute. Add all sauce ingredients & seasonings. Stir well. If adding extra chicken broth (need to test how much liquid is needed, I used 4c and it was too much, but I liked the extra gravy, just need 1-2tbsp cornstarch to thicken) use 2 tsp of beef base instead.

Step 5

Add single layer of meatballs. It should be covered.

Step 6

High pressure 5 minutes. Instant release.

Step 7

Saute on medium or high to thicken gravy. Might need a tbsp of cornstarch if it doesn't thicken enough.
