I love the start of fall because that means it's football season! Meatballs are filling and hearty and great for a tailgate. I served this for the first time at my favorite team's home opener. My best friend, who hates meatballs, couldn't get enough of them! I created a meatball convert! Woo-hoo! If you are serving children and prefer not to add the wine, substitute beef broth instead.—Lisa de Perio, Dallas, Texas

Test Kitchen Tips
  • Browning the meatballs before cooking isn't necessary, but it adds extra flavor. So if you have time, go for it. Use the saute setting on your electric pressure cooker to brown meatballs in small batches.
