Instant Pot Meatloaf
Course: Entree
Serving size: Serves 6 (serving size: 1 slice)
Preparation time:
Cooking time: 1 hour
Ingredients
2 pounds (80/20) ground beef
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
4 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 cup finely chopped yellow onion (from 1 small onion)
1/2 cup panko (Japanese-style breadcrumbs)
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 cup ketchup
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
1 cup water
Directions
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.)
When cooking is done, 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.
This is a great meal that is delicious and best of all I would bet you have the ingredients in the pantry and freezer already.
