It’s officially fall, and you know what that means… comfort food is back on the menu!

Hearty casseroles, carbs, and creamy sauces are all fair game, and we’re kicking things off with a classic: Swedish Meatballs and Noodles!

These Instant Pot Swedish Meatballs are the perfect fall meal – a complete, satisfying dish that’s ready in 30 minutes or less, with no extra pots required.

We’re keeping things easy by using store-bought meatballs (because, let’s be real, sometimes you just need a shortcut). But don’t worry, we’re still making it feel like a homemade meal with a few simple ingredients.

When it comes to choosing your meatballs, make sure to pick a good quality brand with ingredients you can pronounce. You might need to spend a bit more, but trust us, it’s worth it.

Now, let’s get started! Add your meatballs, noodles, beef broth, and some basic spices to the Instant Pot. Close the lid, set the valve to “sealing”, and cook on high pressure for 8-10 minutes.

While the meatballs are cooking, mix together some heavy cream and cornstarch to create a rich, creamy sauce. When the timer goes off, let the pressure release naturally for 5 minutes, then quick-release any remaining pressure.

Stir in the cream mixture and let it simmer for a few minutes until the sauce has thickened. Season with salt, pepper, and a pinch of nutmeg, and you’re ready to serve!

This recipe is a game-changer for busy weeknights, and it’s perfect for a cozy night in with the family. So go ahead, get comfortable, and dig in!

Some of our favorite readers have already tried this recipe and loved it! One reader subbed in sour cream for the heavy cream and cornstarch, and it turned out amazing. Another reader added a pinch of Colman’s mustard powder for an extra boost of flavor.

Feel free to get creative and make it your own – after all, that’s what comfort food is all about!
