Instant Pot Meatloaf Food

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 OLD FASHIONED MEATLOAF

Steps:

• Mix together your ingredients (except the extra ketchup for topping and water) and mold into a loaf.
• Make a dent down the middle of your loaf.
• Place your loaf in a greased "boat" made of aluminum foil.
• Top your meatloaf with ketchup.
• Pour your water in your 6-quart Instant Pot.
• Place your loaf boat in your instant pot (making sure the sides are much higher than the water).
• Place the lid on your Instant Pot and seal. Set on the meat setting for 30 minutes.
• Let it naturally release for 10-15 minutes. Quick release and serve! (If desired, put you loaf boat on a cookie sheet and broil on hi for about 90 seconds to 2 minutes to crisp up the edges and take your ketchup to the next level!)

INSTANT POT MEATLOAF

Steps:

• Mix Meatloaf Ingredients: Combine all the meatloaf ingredients in a large mixing bowl. Add the dry ingredients, then add the wet ingredients, and mix well with your hands. Do not overmix.
• Test Seasoning: Test the seasoning by cooking a small portion of the meat mixture on a skillet over medium-high heat. Taste and add more seasoning if necessary.
• Shape Meatloaf: Gently pack the meat mixture to form a meatloaf. Make sure the meatloaf can fit into your pressure cooker (Reference: Our meatloaf's thickest part was almost 4 inches thick).
• Form Foil Sling: Fold a piece of aluminum foil into a long strip to form a sling. Make sure it is wide enough to hold the whole meatloaf. This will help you transport the meatloaf easily.
• Make Easy Tomato Sauce: Combine all the tomato sauce ingredients together in the pressure cooker. Mix well until the tomato paste dissolves into the tomato sauce mixture.
• Pressure Cook Meatloaf: Place a steamer rack in Instant Pot pressure cooker. Place the aluminum foil sling on the rack and carefully place the meatloaf on top of it. Pressure cook at High Pressure for 16 minutes, then Full Natural Release.
• Preheat Oven: While the meatloaf and tomato sauce are cooking, preheat oven to 450°F.
• Set Aside Meatloaf: Remove the meatloaf by carrying the foil sling. Confirm the meatloaf's internal temperature is at least 160°F with a food thermometer and set aside.
• Apply Sauce & Finish in Oven: Heat up the pressure cooker over medium-low heat. (Instant Pot: press Sauté, then Adjust button to Saute More Function) Bring the tomato sauce to a simmer and reduce until desired consistency (roughly 5 - 8 minutes). Brush the thickened tomato sauce over the whole meatloaf with a silicone basting brush. Place the meatloaf in the oven on the top rack for 10 - 15 minutes.
• Serve Instant Pot Meatloaf: Serve the Instant Pot Meatloaf immediately. Enjoy~ :)
• Tip for Serving Sauce: If you want to serve your favorite pasta or side dish with the easy tomato sauce, make sure to season the tomato sauce with kosher salt and ground black pepper first.

INSTANT POT BEST MEATLOAF & MASHED POTATOES

Steps:

• In a large bowl, mix together all the meatloaf ingredients by hand for about 2 minutes until it clumps together and stays in a giant meatball formation. Spray a bundt pan (use this one for best results) with non-stick cooking spray and pack the meatloaf mixture into it. Cover with non-stick foil or spritz non-stick spray on the foil and puncture a hole in the middle of the foil so the steam can go through the bundt pan's center - DO NOT forget to do this (NOTE: If you don't want to use the bundt, you can shape the meat into a rectangular loaf and rest it on non-stick aluminum foil with the sides of the foil folded up so it covers all sides of the meatloaf with the top fully exposed. Just make sure the loaf is even in terms of shape or it may not cook evenly - which is why I suggest using this fabulous bundt pan for guaranteed even cooking results and a lovely ring shape)
• Add the potatoes, chicken broth and garlic cloves to the Instant Pot. Rest the trivet on top of the potatoes and garlic (press it down good so the trivet rests flat) and then rest the bundt pan on top of the trivet. Secure the lid and hit "Manual" or "Pressure Cook" at High Pressure for 35 minutes (NOTE: I did this in a 6qt and it fits absolutely perfectly)
• While the meatloaf's cooking, mix together all the ingredients for the meatloaf glaze in a bowl until well combined. Set aside when done
• Once the Instant Pot has finished cooking, perform a quick release. Pre-heat the oven to 400 degrees while the steam's releasing
• Using some tongs and a dish towel/oven mitt, remove the bundt from the pot. Pour out any excess drippings from the bundt into a hot-oil proof container over the sink, carefully securing the meatloaf in place with a spatula or dish/paper towel so it doesn't slide out (that would be a shame)
• Line a baking sheet with non-stick foil or spray some non-stick cooking spray on regular foil. Place the foil-lined baking sheet over the bundt and, firmly holding them together with your hands protected from the heat, quickly flip upside down. The meatloaf will slide right out of the bundt and onto the foil. (If it breaks apart a little since it's super moist and tender, that's okay and you can easily place it back into formation). Brush the meatloaf glaze all over the meatloaf and pop it into the oven for 5-10 minutes until the glaze caramelizes (I went for 7 minutes). Keep an eye on it as all ovens vary! (NOTE: If you didn't use the bundt pan, just fold the foil sides down around the meatloaf, drain the drippings into a hot-oil proof container over the sink and then place the meatloaf on a baking sheet with the non-stick foil under it)
• While the meatloaf's in the oven, use a potato masher to mash the potatoes to the desired consistency and then add in all the "Potatoes After Mashing" ingredients. Stir until well combined and adjust any seasonings to taste
• Remove the meatloaf from the oven and carefully transfer to a serving dish or cake platter using two spatulas supporting the bottom. Place some of the mashed potatoes in the center of the ring (for presentation) and place the rest in a serving dish
• Enjoy this epic feast!

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 AND 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® 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.
