Instant Pot Meatloaf Beef Or Turkey Recipes

INSTANT POT® MEATLOAF

Steps:

• Combine beef, bread crumbs, onion, apple, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a large bowl until evenly blended.
• Shape the beef mixture into a loaf and place on a large piece of aluminum foil. Fold the foil up and around the edges of the meatloaf, creating a makeshift loaf pan.
• Pour 1/2 cup water into a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®) and place the steam rack inside with the handles up. Place the meatloaf on top of the rack. Close and lock the lid; seal the vent. Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 25 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.
• Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.
• Release cooker pressure carefully using the quick-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, about 5 minutes. Unlock and remove the lid. Transfer meatloaf, still on the rack, to a baking sheet. Broil meatloaf in the oven until browned, about 5 minutes.
• Combine ketchup, mustard, and brown sugar in a small bowl. Brush over meatloaf and broil again until caramelized, 1 to 2 minutes.

INSTANT POT MEATLOAF

Steps:

• Add all of the meatloaf ingredients to a large bowl and gently mix everything to combine (without over-working the meat).
• Form the meat mixture into a round loaf that will fit into your instant pot.
• Place the loaf on a large piece of aluminum foil and fold the edges up to make a secure nest for the meatloaf to rest in. (You want the edges high enough that grease from the loaf wont spill out onto the potatoes while cooking.)
• Add the quartered potatoes, water, and salt to the bottom of the instant pot.
• Lay the IP wire rack on top of the potatoes. Place the aluminum foil "nest" with the meatloaf on top of the rack.
• Secure the lid on the pot and close the pressure release valve. Select manual/High pressure and cook at high pressure for 25 minutes*. When the timer beeps, allow the pressure to naturally release for 10 minutes.
• While the meatloaf cooks, make the sauce by combining all of the sauce ingredients in a bowl.
• Remove the IP lid, and carefully remove the meatloaf. Discard the aluminum foil and drippings. Spoon the meatloaf sauce over the top and cut into slices.
• Drain any remaining water from the pot. Add the milk, sour cream, butter, bouillon paste, and salt and pepper to the bottom of the instant pot with the mashed potatoes. Mash to combine (but don't over-mash the potatoes). Taste and adjust seasonings, as needed.

TURKEY-BEEF MEATLOAF

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a 9x13-inch loaf pan with cooking spray.
• Combine ground turkey, ground beef, onion, milk, bread crumbs, egg, rosemary, salt, and pepper in a mixing bowl. Press into the prepared pan.
• Combine ketchup, brown sugar, and mustard in a separate bowl and whisk together. Pour mixture over meatloaf.
• Bake in the preheated oven until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center reads at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C), about 1 hour. It's best to let rest for at least 5 minutes before serving.

INSTANT POT MEATLOAF [BEEF OR TURKEY]

Steps:

• Peel potatoes and place in a bowl of cool water and set aside.
• In a large mixing bowl, mix together all ingredients, except potatoes, diced tomatoes and sugar.
• Using an immersion blender, blend the diced tomatoes and add half to the meat mixture and mix together and set aside the rest to make the meatloaf sauce.
• Form the meatloaf into a tall oval shape and place on steamer rack.
• Add 2 cups of water into Instant Pot (pressure cooker) and place a short legged trivet into cooking pot. Lay whole Potatoes in a single row on top. Place the steamer rack on top of the potatoes.
• Lock lid in place and close pressure valve. Cook at high pressure for 20 minutes. When bBeep sounds, wait 10 minutes and then release the rest of the pressure.
• To make meatloaf sauce, add 2 Tablespoons of sugar to the blended tomatoes that were set aside and mix well.
• Remove meatloaf from pressure cooker and place into oven safe dish. Pour 3/4 of meatloaf sauce on top of meatloaf and place under the broiler for 5 minutes.
• Alternative, if you have a Crisping Lid, set temp to 400 degrees and time to 5 minutes, but keep an eye on it.
• While the meatloaf is in the oven, mash the potatoes (see my Mashed Potatoes Recipe).
• Spoon the remaining meatloaf sauce over individual servings.
