Large Family Instant Pot Meatball Stroganoff Recipe

Here at Large Family Table, we’ve made Easy Slow Cooker Beef Stroganoff, Instant Pot Beef Stroganoff, and a lot more Stroganoff recipes, but we’ve never combined them with meatballs.

Meatball Stroganoff isn’t your average dinner, it’s one of those meals that people talk about and beg you to make! Think about what it means to mix meatballs and stroganoff together in your Instant Pot, It is a delicious dinner and one of the best recipes to impress.

How to Make Instant Pot Meatball Stroganoff

This family favorite comfort food is an easy meal to make with basic ingredients you should already have on hand. 

You can use homemade meatballs, but to make it even easier, you can use frozen meatballs. You can even use Italian meatballs or Swedish Meatballs.

1. In a large bowl, mix together the garlic powder, dry mustard, worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper, and beef broth.
2. Place the meatballs into the pot of the electric pressure cooker. Top with  the package of egg noodles and then the sliced mushrooms. Pour the beef broth mixture over everything. Do not stir.
3. Place the lid on the electric pressure cooker and set the valve to sealing. Set the pressure cooker to “manual” or “pressure cook” for 5 minutes. Quick release the pressure when the cook cycle is complete.
4. Stir the sour cream into the pasta which will create a sour cream sauce, which is the best part.

Ingredients needed for Instant Pot Meatball Stroganoff

The ingredients in any meal is important, but the ingredients in this meal are everything. They truly mix together to create an one of our favorite meals. Let’s talk about these ingredients and what make them so incredible.

• Frozen homestyle meatballs – I know you already most likely have a package of homestyle meatballs in your freezer. Pull these out to help you make something very filling for your family.There are many great store-bought frozen meatballs that would be perfect for this delicious dinner.
• Mushrooms – If your family has never had mushrooms in their meal, they are about to figure out how yummy it is. Of course, this is optional. We love them in our stroganoff around here.
• Package of egg noodles – As you know, egg noodles are super inexpensive, but they make the best ingredient. Don’t forget to pick up an extra bag the next time you’re at the store.
• Beef broth – 1 48 oz. carton or 6 cups of broth. When you want flavor in your meal, beef broth always delivers, plus it has a ton of nutrition.

Add in all of these products, plus the extras listed and you are going to have access to a very wholesome meal. The best part is making this in your Instant Pot and having dinner together very quickly.

Slow Cooker/Crock Pot Option

Did you know you can make Meatball Stroganoff in the slow cooker? If you’re going to be gone during the day or just don’t want to mess with the Instant Pot, this option is for you. The Slow Cooker Meatball Stroganoff is just as delicious for those busy weeknights.

Keep in mind that you won’t need as much liquid for this meal.  Reduce the liquid to 1 cup of broth and stir together all ingredients EXCEPT the noodles and sour cream. Cover and cook on low 4 hours. That’s all the meal prep you need to do.

You will want to cook and drain the noodles separately right before it’s time to serve this. The final step to this meal is to mix the sour cream and noodles into the meatball mixture.

How to brown meatballs in an Instant Pot

For this specific recipe, you do not need to brown the meatballs, but my favorite feature of the Instant Pot is the saute’ function. Add a little bit of olive oil to the bottom of the pot and hit saute’. Then you can dump your frozen meatballs in and stir them around to give them a brown crust.

How to freeze meaatball stroganoff

If you decide you want to freeze this meal you are in luck. Freezing Meatball Stroganoff has never been easier. Once you have finished cooking the meal, you will need to allow it to cool.
