Instant Pot Buffalo Meatballs
Whole30, Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free
A few years ago, after the birth of our first child, my wife developed a serious intolerance to gluten. It pretty much changed the entire way I see food - especially when it came to attending parties. She was always standing around watching everyone else eat. So, me being me, I began making things at home for us to bring to eat - particularly for Super Bowl parties! Well, this year, I'm also eating Whole30. Which is a whole other set of challenges. But let me tell you... these Instant Pot buffalo meatballs don't need the gluten or anything else. They're pretty remarkable.
