{Instant Pot} Pressure Cooker Grape Jelly Meatballs – These easy to make, traditional, meatballs with grape jelly and chili sauce are perfect for parties and game day gatherings! They make a great family friendly dinner served over rice too! Quick, Easy And Delicious Using Your Instant Pot or Pressure Cooker!
Grape Jelly Meatballs are so popular at parties! Always sure to be the hit of a party. It’s a go to appetizer recipe that just can’t fail. The sweet grape jelly and chili sauce is the perfect accompaniment to the tender meatballs. This time I went a little out of the box. Instead of making them in the traditional slow cooker, I made them in my Pressure Cooker (aka my Instant Pot).
They were amazing! I used Cooked Perfect® Meatballs, straight from my freezer and cooked them on high pressure for 5 minutes. The meatballs came out as tender and perfect as you can get! Remove them from the pressure cooker, then add your jelly and chili sauce, turn the pressure cooker to sauté and let it warm up while you whisk it until smooth. Then add your meatballs back in and give it a good stir.

I was going to totally make these for the Big Game when my beloved Minnesota football team got into it, but of course they choked. Instead we enjoyed them during the last play-off game. Story of the Minnesota Football Fan’s lives. They get us all helpful and then they let us down.
Yet, we still believe and cheer!
Oh well, life will go on! At least I had good food to eat while I tried not to cry, right?

The addition of grape jelly makes me think fondly of a family recipe that used grape jelly as well. Yummy!
