These meatballs are a staple in our house to have on hand in the freezer. You can switch them up and serve them on spaghetti, in subs, over rice or just by themselves. I like to keep these in meal containers that can go straight into the microwave so when I am in a rush I can simply just throw a serving in the microwave and take it with me to eat in the car or at a kids game.

With clean hands, scoop out a heaping tablespoon of meat mixture to form mini meatballs. Place on a foil-lined baking sheet.
Cook the meatballs in the oven for 12-15 minutes. Let meatballs cool completely then place in a Ziploc gallon-size freezer bag. Freeze.

Microwave for 1-2 minutes.
Place the meatballs in an oven proof baking dish that fits in the Instant Pot (I use a cake pan). Place 1 cup water in the bottom of the Instant Pot and add the trivet. Place the meatballs on top of the trivet and seal. Cook on steam for 15 minutes.
Hand Held Pizzas
Change up the fillings to whatever your family enjoys. I like to leave out the sauce and use it for dipping instead for less mess. That way you can leave it out entirely if you are eating these in the car. No one wants tomato sauce everywhere when eating on the go!
