I first made these meatballs with rice when our children were small, and they just loved them. I occasionally use cream of mushroom soup instead of tomato soup, and that variation is delicious, too. —Mary Kelso, Hannibal, Missouri

Ingredients

1 large egg, lightly beaten
1/2 cup uncooked instant rice
2 tablespoons finely chopped onion
1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 pound lean ground beef (90% lean)
1 can (10-3/4 ounces) condensed tomato soup, undiluted
1 cup water
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
Optional: Hot cooked rice and chopped fresh parsley

Directions

In a bowl, combine egg, rice, onion, parsley, salt and pepper. Crumble beef over mixture and mix lightly but thoroughly. Shape into 1-1/2-in. balls. Arrange on a trivet in a 6-qt. electric pressure cooker. Combine soup, water and Worcestershire sauce; pour over meatballs.
Lock lid; close pressure-release valve. Adjust to pressure-cook on high for 10 minutes. Quick-release pressure. Let stand 5 minutes before serving. If desired, serve with rice and top with chopped parsley.
