Best 4 Instant Pot Meatloaf 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® BBQ CHEDDAR MEATLOAF

Steps:

• Combine ground beef, bread crumbs, milk, Cheddar cheese, egg, and dry onion soup mix in a bowl; mix until well combined. Transfer mixture to a cutting board and shape into a loaf.
• Place a trivet into a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®). Pour 1/2 cup water into the pot and set loaf on top of the trivet. Close and lock the lid. Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 15 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.
• Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.
• Carefully transfer the trivet to a rimmed baking sheet. Brush meatloaf with barbecue sauce. Broil for 3 to 4 minutes. Allow to rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

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.

INSTANT POT MEATLOAF AND POTATOES

Steps:

• 1. MEATLOAF GLAZE In a bowl mix together the ketchup, packed brown sugar, and Worcestershire sauce. Mix until the sugar is dissolved. Set aside 1/2 cup to use to glaze meatloaf.
• 2. FOR THE MEATLOAF In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, eggs, milk, stuffing mix, onion, bell pepper, garlic, salt, sage, pepper, and all but 1/2 cup of the meatloaf glaze. Be sure this is well mixed, I suggest using your clean hands to mix. Divide this into 2 equal portions.
• 3. Cut two aluminum trays in half across the middle. Overlap the halves and adjust them to a size that will fit the Instant Pot. Put the meat loaves into the two improvised aluminum trays.
• 4. FOR THE POTATOES Put the potatoes, chicken broth, and garlic in the bottom of the Instant Pot.
• 5. Place a trivet insert on top of the potatoes. Place one of the meatloaves on top of the trivet. Place a second trivet on top of the first meatloaf and add the second Meatloaf on the second trivet.
• 6. Put the lid on the Instant Pot, be sure the vent valve is closed, and the lid is properly secured. Push the MANUAL setting and set for 20 minutes on high pressure.
• 7. When the 20 minutes of pressure cooking is complete, move the valve to VENTING for a quick release of pressure. When the pressure has dissipated, carefully remove the lid of the Instant Pot.
• 8. Using oven mitts, carefully remove the meatloaves to a baking sheet. Use the reserved meatloaf glaze to coat the top of the meatloaves.
• 9. Set your oven to "High Broil" and put the meatloaves under the broiler for a few minutes. When the glaze is hot and bubbly, remove the loaves from the oven and allow them to cool and use a large spatula to move to a serving plate.
• 10. Carefully remove the potatoes to a serving dish. Add the melted butter, Parmesan cheese, and garnish with the chives.
