Ingredients
- 1 bag homestyle beef meatballs

- 3 tablespoons cornstarch
- 2 teaspoons cracked black pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt add more as tasted
- 1 tablespoon paprika
- 1 cup water
Instructions
- Cook pasta on stove as directed on the box. Drain and set aside. This can be done as the meatballs are steaming.
- Place steamer basket into the instant pot. Pour in 1 cup water. Add in meatballs. Place lid on instant pot. Set valve to sealed position. Cook on manual or high pressure for 6 minutes. Once the instant pot stops counting release pressure. Remove lid. Remove meatballs to a bowl and cover.
- Drain juice from pot insert. Place insert back into the pot. Pour in beef broth and sliced onions. Set to saute mode.
- In a liquid measuring cup whisk heavy cream, cornstarch, and seasonings. This will make the cornstarch slurry that will thicken the sauce like a gravy.
- Pour cornstarch slurry into the pot witht he beef broth. Bring to a boil on saute mode for about 5 minutes as it starts to thicken turn of pot and let cook for a few minutes. Add meatballs and pasta to the pot and toss well. Taste to see if more pepper or salt is needed.
