    Instructions

    1
    |
    Add all ingredients for meatballs to a bowl. Mix well. I prefer to use my hands, but you can use a hand mixer or spoon.
    2
    |
    You want to make sure the meatballs are on the smaller side, so they cook all the way through. I used a small cookie scoop to measure, and with my hands, rolled into a ball.
    3
    |
    Add 1 cup of beef broth to the bottom of your Instant Pot. Place the trivet inside the pot. Add your meatballs evenly on the trivet. You can layer up!
    4
    |
    Cook on high pressure for 7 minutes. Allow it to naturally release for 10 minutes, then manually release until all the pressure is gone.
    5
    |
    Remove the trivet with the meatballs on. Set aside on a place or cutting board. Pour out your broth. Turn your Instant Pot onto Sauté mode.
    6
    |
    Place your meatballs back in and sauté to make the meatballs nice and crisp for about 4 minutes.
    7
    |
    When done, pour over your sauce, and mix well.
    8
    |
    Slice 1 provolone slice in half. Place one half on each side in your bun. Add meatballs between the cheese (I used 3 meatballs per sandwich). Microwave for 1 minute or in oven at 350℉ for about 5 minutes to melt your cheese and warm your bread.

    Garnish with parmesan cheese and parsley! Enjoy!
