Jump to Recipe

Many people love the simple, rustic flavor of these hearty pressure cooker porcupine meatballs while others find them too boring and unimaginative for their tastes. The main ingredients in porcupine meatballs are ground beef, uncooked long-grain rice, onion, and canned tomato soup.

If you’re craving some comfort food tonight, this is the easiest and quickest recipe so try out these delicious porcupine meatballs.

I was first introduced to this recipe using the stovetop method in home economics class while in high school. Upon introducing it to the family I was assigned to make it once a week.

As I got older I soon learned to adapt the recipe to other cooking pots and electric appliances. So pull out the stovetop pressure cooker, Crock-Pot pressure cooker, or your instant pot.

Adults, kids, and picky eaters alike will love this simple family favorite.

What Are Porcupine Meatballs Made Of?

Pressure cooker porcupine meatballs are a hearty dish, created from lean ground beef and long grain rice. The recipe also includes onion, canned tomato soup, rich stock liquid, spices, and herbs to add flavor.

What Can I Serve With Meatballs?

Porcupine meatballs are a perfect dish for dinner, but it’s important to make sure they’re served with the right accompaniments. What can you serve them with? Mashed potatoes and gravy would be delicious; rice is an easy alternative if people have allergies or sensitivities that complicate their diet; egg noodles add texture while green vegetables such as peas provide color contrast on your plate. Fresh corn kernels also work well in this scenario!

Should I Cook the Meatballs Before Putting in Sauce?

No, when pressure cooking it is not a requirement to brown meatballs. The cooking process is so quick the meatballs hold their shape and the flavors stay inside. They are moist and tender once cooked.

Finally – Porcupine Meatballs (Pressure Cooker)

If you’re looking for a quick recipe that’s sure to please the whole family, Crockpot Expressi Porcupine Meatballs are a perfect choice. These tender balls made of lean ground beef are seasoned in traditional flavors that everyone loves giving them that comfort food feeling.

The meatballs gravy thickens naturally during cooking using the starch from the long-grain rice making it perfect to serve with potato or sweet potato mash, steam rice, pasta, and/or your favorite vegetables.

I guarantee this recipe will become a family favorite.
