I had some half / half minced meat already seasoned in the freezer and wanted to make meatballs for my son, so I gladly provide the recipe here! I wanted to try out steaming the meatballs in a glass container on top of a metal oven rack to see how that turns out. They came out soft, juicy, bouncy and delicious!

I used 500 grams of minced meat, I made four little meatballs for my son and used the rest for a spicy dish for us adults ;-)

I used instant gravy powder as a sauce. I intend to make these recipes suitable for busy parents, so I also make use of modern condiments ;-)

Prep and cook time: All in all 30 minutes, so not too long

**Ingredients:For the meatballs:**500 grams of minced meatBreadcrumbs (I used gluten free but use normal if you like)Cup of MilkA stock cube dissolved in a bit of water in the microwaveGarlic PowderOnion PowderProvence herbs1 eggfinely cut green and red pepperoniongarlic

For the Potato PureePotatoMilkButterSalt

**For the green beans:**Frozen BeansSaltButter

For the Jus / SauceInstant gravy powder

**Equipment:**Instant PotPot for boiling potatoes (perhaps you could even place the potatoes in a different glass container below the one with the meatballs)Microwave

**Preparation:**Peel the potatoes and cut in large chunksMix all the ingredients with the minced meat and mix wellPut the Frozen Beans in a Microwave Steamer container

Set this all aside.

Put water in the instant pot, place the oven rack in the instant pot, place the glass container on top.

Shape the meatballs and place them inside the glass container

Close the lid, steam high for 10 minutes, natural vent (surely rapid vent would also be fine)

While the Instant Pot is warming up / cooking, boil the potato in a little bit of water for 20 minutes, drain, mash, add room temperature butter. Heat some milk in the microwave and slowly incorporate.

Steam the green beans for 1 minute 30 in the microwave steamer container. Add some butter and salt, or sometimes I like to add a little bit of chicken powder.

Prepare the gravy.

Plate up. Place the meatballs on the plate, add the gravy, spoon the pure on the plate, place the beans on the plate and serve!

Hope you guys like it, my son loved it. It's a quick and convenient way to prepare a dish with Veg - Carb - Meat without a lot of mess.
