Ingredients

1 lb frozen meatballs
2 cups barbecue sauce
1/4 cup bourbon
1/4 cup honey
Chopped chives

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.

INSTRUCTIONS

Place all the ingredients in the Instant Pot inner pot and gently stir them together. Secure the lid, ensuring the valve is turned to the Sealing position. Press the Pressure Cook button and set the time to 5 minutes.
When cooking is complete, turn the valve to the Venting position to release the pressure. Open the lid and stir the mixture in order to coat all the meatballs.
Serve the meatballs from the Instant Pot, which should be set to the keep warm function.
