Dr Pepper Meatballs are mouthwatering delicious, tender, flavorful and made easily right in your Instant Pot! 

I adore using my instant pot since I got it for Christmas! the amazing recipes are endless! I have so many more I cant wait to show you all! 

I just made these delicious meatballs for a party we had last weekend and everyone went crazy over them- asking for the recipe! They were super surprised to know I had used a can of Dr Pepper! I stuck toothpicks in them if people wanted to eat them alone and put mini sub rolls if they wanted to make mini subs! Huge HIT!

They came out so very tender – the soda has a special way of doing that to any meat you add it to! I cant wait to post my dr pepper ribs recipe and a roast recipe! seriously the most tender recipes you’ll try!

My family could not get enough. This recipe is definitely a keeper.

I have also tried doing this recipe for meatballs and another recipe for ribs using root beer , it was also amazing! I will be adding that one too very soon! I am making it for Superbowl Sunday!
