Here’s a great one-pot casserole for whenever time’s tight. Note that you must heat the liquid in the cooker before you add the frozen meatballs. Otherwise, they’ll drop the temperature of the liquid too low, the rice will fall to the bottom of the pot before it can come to pressure, and you’ll end up with a burn notice.

2 1/2cupschicken broth
1cupraw white basmati riceplus 1 tbsp

RECIPE NOTES
Beyond
• For an 8-quart Instant Pot, you must increase all the ingredients by 50 percent.
• Swap out the herbs for any you prefer. We’ve skewed these to match the Italian flavoring in most meatballs. But if you’ve got plain meatballs, try a mix of dried thyme and dried dill, or even stemmed and minced fresh parsley and tarragon leaves.
• Cheese is a welcome garnish, particularly finely grated Parmigiano-Reggiano or another hard, aged cheese.
