In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef and ground sausage.
Beat 2 eggs in a separate bowl, then combine it with the meat mixture.
Add Italian bread crumbs, garlic powder, onion powder, and Italian seasoning to the bowl. Mix well.
Mix Parmesan cheese in with the beef mixture until fully combined.
Form the meat mixture into balls by rolling them in your hands. You can make regular size meatballs or even mini meatballs.
Add your trivet to the Instant Pot, then pour in beef broth.
Place your meatballs on the trivet, stacking up as necessary. Add the lid, then cook on high pressure for 7 minutes and natural release for 5 minutes.
Remove your meatballs from the Instant Pot when done and drain the liquid.
Set the pot to saute mode and add olive oil. Place the meatballs back into the pot once the oil is hot and cook until they brown. Serve, and enjoy!
- Don't over mix! This is the most important step, mix just enough to combine all the flavors.
- Don't overcook! Ideally, you want a crispy outer layer with a juicy inside.
- Don't skip the sausage. The sausage adds amazing flavor and creates a juicy middle.
