Best 5 Pressure Cooker Meatloaf Dinner Recipes

PRESSURE COOKER MEATLOAF

Steps:

• Press the pressure cooker saute function button to heat up inner pot. When the display reads hot, add olive oil. Then add celery, carrots, and onion. Saute for 3-4 minutes until slightly soft. Add garlic and saute one more minute.
• In a large bowl add cooked vegetable mixture to ground beef and sausage. Add 1/2 cup of the BBQ sauce and all remaining ingredients and mix well. This works best using your hands. Mix, but do not overmix or the meat will be tough.
• Place two layers of large pieces of foil on your countertop, approximately double the size of your pressure cooker's inner pot. Pour meat mixture onto foil and form into a round loaf that will fit into your inner pot with a little room to spare on the sides.
• Place 1 cup water into the pressure cooker inner pot, then place trivet in pot. Carefully lift meatloaf using the sides of the foil and place into pot. Drizzle 1/4 cup of the BBQ sauce on top of loaf. Tuck foil into the pot so it does not interfere with the lid placement.
• Secure lid, ensuring the valve is turned toward sealing. Select pressure cook (or manual depending on your model) and set the timer to 50 minutes. When timer goes off, let sit for another 10 minutes (this is a "natural release.") Turn the valve to venting to release any remaining pressure. Carefully remove meatloaf using the sides of the foil. Let rest 10 minutes then drizzle remaining BBQ on top. Serve in thick slices topped with additional sliced green onions.
• Optional - brown top by using either method mentioned above.

INSTANT POT RECIPE: PRESSURE COOKER MEATLOAF

Steps:

• In a large bowl, whisk together the milk and egg; add the Panko breadcrumbs and stir to combine; set aside until all the milk has been absorbed.
• Meanwhile, mince the onion, garlic, carrot, celery, and parsley together.
• Into the same large bowl, add the ground beef, salt, and black pepper along with the minced onion, garlic, carrot, celery, and parsley and mix together completely.
• Once combined, form the mixture into a loaf and place on a sheet of aluminum foil making sure the meatloaf fits into your pressure cooker.
• Fold the sheet of aluminum foil up and around the meatloaf to form a packet.
• To prevent potatoes from splitting during cooking, pierce with a fork so steam can escape.
• Add the potatoes and carrots into the bottom of the pressure cooker and add the water. Place an inverted steamer basket, small roasting rack or the steaming rack that may have come with the instant pot (affiliate link) onto the vegetables.
• Place the meatloaf in its aluminum foil packet on top of the rack; be sure to leave room around the edge to allow steam to rise to the top of the pot (to close the pressure valve).
• Cover with the lid and twist the handle to lock the pressure cooker. Be sure to make sure the pressure release valve is set to sealing.
• Select Manual and cook at High Pressure for 20 minutes. Allow 15 to 20 minutes for the pot to pressurize before the cook cycle begins.
• Turn off the pressure cooker off and release the steam valve by quick release being careful of the steam. Once the pot has released the pressure, carefully open the lid.
• Confirm the meatloaf's internal temperature is at least 145 degrees F, the center is cooked and the juices run clear.
• Serve immediately with or without the optional glaze.

PRESSURE COOKER MEATLOAF RECIPE

Steps:

• Add all of your meatloaf ingredients in a bowl and mix it together with your hands.
• In a separate bowl, mix together the red topping sauce ingredients. Make sure you mix this thoroughly so that all the brown sugar incorporates into the rest of the ingredients.
• Add your potatoes and carrots (I used about 10 small potatoes cut into quarters and one small bag of carrots) with a little bit of salt and pepper.
• Now add about 1 cup of beef broth (or water).
• Use the rack that came with the pressure cooker or use a vegetable steamer rack to place the meatloaf on top of the potatoes and carrots. You can use tin foil if you don't have a steamer rack. Make sure to leave room on the sides to allow the steam to reach the top of the pot.
• Spread about half of the red topping sauce on top of the meatloaf before you cook it and reserve the other half for after it's done.
• It was important to shape it in the size of the pressure cooker with a little bit of room on the sides.
• Now turn on the manual button and add 35 minutes so this will steam on high. Be sure your vent is set to seal on top of the machine. When the timer is up you can do a quick release of the steam button. After all the steam has released, carefully remove the lid and check to make sure your meatloaf is done. If it's not done, simply put it back in the pressure cooker and add another 5 minutes.
• Add the remaining sauce to the top of the meatloaf and then I place it on a baking sheet and broil it for about 5 minutes to caramelize the topping.

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.
