Instant Pot Meatloaf Recipes

INSTANT POT MEATLOAF

Steps:

• Gently stir together beef, eggs, garlic, onion, panko, Worcestershire, salt, and pepper in a medium bowl, being careful not to overmix. Form mixture into an 8- x 5 1/2-inch loaf. Place loaf in center of a large piece of heavy-duty aluminum foil. Fold up sides of foil to make a secure nest for meatloaf (you want the sides high enough so any moisture will not spill out).
• Stir together ketchup, vinegar, and Dijon. Spread mixture evenly over meatloaf. Pour water into a programmable pressure multicooker (such as Instant Pot). Place cooker rack in cooker. Place meatloaf in foil on rack. Cover cooker with lid, and lock in place. Turn steam release handle to SEALING position. Select MANUAL/PRESSURE COOK setting. Select HIGH pressure for 25 minutes. (It will take 6 to 8 minutes for cooker to come up to pressure before cooking begins.)
• Carefully turn steam release handle to VENTING position, and let steam fully escape (float valve will drop). (This will take about 2 to 3 minutes). Remove lid from cooker. Let meatloaf stand in cooker 5 minutes. Carefully remove meatloaf to a platter; discard foil and drippings. Re-spread ketchup topping over meatloaf, if needed. Cut meatloaf into slices, and serve.

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.

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 AND POTATOES

Steps:

• Mix together ground beef, crushed cornflakes, bread crumbs, onion, eggs, garlic powder, parsley, salt, and pepper until well combined. Shape mixture into a loaf.
• Place potatoes evenly around the bottom of a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®). Pour chicken broth over top. Place the Instant Pot® rack over the potatoes.
• Place meatloaf on a small tray that will fit inside the Instant Pot® (or make one out of foil) and place that on the rack. Close and lock the lid. Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 25 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.
• Release pressure carefully using the quick-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, about 5 minutes. Unlock and remove the lid.

INSTANT POT MINI MEATLOAF

Steps:

• In a large bowl mix ground beef, eggs, onion, ketchup, salt, pepper, oatmeal, half of the tomato soup, and 1 Tbs Worcestershire sauce. Once it's mixed well, fill the wells of your silicone mold.
• Cover the meatloaves with foil or a silicone food cover. Pour 1 cup of water into the bottom of your Instant Pot. Then place a trivet in the bottom of your Instant Pot. If layering more than one set of molds, turn the second set so that the wells are not resting over each other.
• Lock the lid in place and turn the knob to sealing.
• Press the Manual or Pressure Cook button and set for 35 minutes. When done, release the pressure using the quick release method.
• Turn the oven onto broil.
• Remove the meatloaves and arrange them on a cooking sheet. Mix together the other half of the tomato soup, 1 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce, and brown sugar. Pour the over the meatloaves.
• You can broil the meatloaves for 3-5 minutes or just serve just like that!
• Serve with your favorite side dishes. I like to serve it with mashed potatoes and corn.
