PRESSURE-COOKER CHIPOTLE PORCUPINE MEATBALLS

Pressure-Cooker Chipotle Porcupine Meatballs image

My family loves porcupine meatballs. We have been eating this retro dish for years-I just updated it with a little more spice for myself. With the electronic pressure cooker, it is ready in minutes and is great for a day I don't have a lot of time. It makes some great leftover makeovers, too! -Noelle Myers, Grand Forks, North Dakota
