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.

Pour chicken broth mixture over meatballs. Lock lid and cook for 7 minutes at high pressure.
