2 pounds ground beef
1 cup dry bread crumbs
½ cup diced onion
½ apple - peeled, cored, and diced
2 teaspoons garlic powder
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
⅓ cup ketchup
2 tablespoons prepared yellow mustard
2 tablespoons brown sugar

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



Instant Pot Meatloaf and Potatoes image

What's great about this Instant Pot recipe is it's actually two in one! The meatloaf and potatoes are cooked to perfection at the same time. We have a smaller 5 quart Instant Pot so we opted to half the recipe and use two mini loaf pans side by side; they fit perfectly. The sage in the meatloaf shines with a great savory flavor....

Categories     Beef

Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 22

THE POTATOES
1-1/2 lb Golden Little potatoes
1 c chicken broth
1 Tbsp garlic, minced
1/2 stick butter, cut into pieces
1/2 c Parmesan cheese
garnish with dried or fresh chives
THE MEATLOAF
2 lb lean ground beef
2 eggs, beaten
3/4 c milk
1 box (6-oz) stuffing mix
1 medium onion, chopped
1 bell pepper, chopped
4 clove garlic, finely chopped
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp rubbed sage
pepper, to taste
THE MEATLOAF GLAZE
1 c ketchup
1/2 c brown sugar, firmly packed
2 tsp Worcestershire sauce

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.

Tips:

- Use a combination of ground beef and ground pork for a more flavorful meatloaf. - Add some bread crumbs, oats, or rice to the meatloaf mixture to help it bind together. - Season the meatloaf generously with salt, pepper, and your favorite herbs and spices. - Don't overmix the meatloaf mixture, as this will make it tough. - Form the meatloaf into a loaf shape and place it in the Instant Pot. - Add some beef broth or water to the Instant Pot, along with any desired vegetables or seasonings. - Cook the meatloaf on high pressure for 30 minutes, then let the pressure release naturally. - Remove the meatloaf from the Instant Pot and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
