You can also serve these BBQ Meatballs as an after-school snack or a game day appetizer!
We use the 8 qt. Instant Pot. I like it because I can use it for large or small meals.
We also use a digital cooking thermometer like this. If you have any question about what temperature something should be cooked at or reheated at you can check out FoodSafety.gov.
