INSTANT POT MEAT LOAF
I used to make this pressure-cooker meat loaf a lot when my kids were growing up and I was working. It's easy to make and a family favorite. Several loaves can be made ahead and frozen for busy weeks. Thaw a loaf in the refrigerator overnight and then it's ready to cook. -Kallee Krong-Mccreery, Escondido, California

Steps:
- 1. Saute the onion, peppers and mushrooms until soft in a saute pan with a bit of oil.
- 2. Mix the tomato sauce with everything but the meat and corn and sauted veggies.
- 3. Then put the meats, corn and veggies and wet ingredients together. Mix softly. Excessive mixing makes the meat tough. The gelatin will act to solidify the meat and when you cut it, it won't break up into a mess.
- 4. Take a loaf pan and line with Saran wrap, leaving a generous amount over the sides. Pack in the meatloaf and then pull the wrap to cover. Place in the fridge for at least two hours.
- 5. Preheat oven to 400-425. Take a roasting pan and line with foil. Get the meatloat, pull back the wrap and place a finely wired rack on top. Then invert, and place the rack in the baking dish.
- 6. Slide off the loaf pan and pull off the saran wrap. Place in oven for 1 hour.
- 7. Remove from oven, and with a metal spatula, losen and slide to a serving plate. Meatloaf is free of any grease and is nicely crusted on all sides.
- 8. Feel free to add any other ingredients you like or subtract any, except the unflavored gelatin. This is more about technique than ingredients.
Tips:
- Use a combination of ground beef and ground pork: This will give your meatloaf a richer flavor and keep it moist.
- Don't overmix the meatloaf mixture: Overmixing can make the meatloaf tough.
- Add some bread crumbs or oats to the meatloaf mixture: This will help to absorb excess moisture and keep the meatloaf from becoming too dense.
- Season the meatloaf mixture well: Use a variety of spices and herbs to give your meatloaf flavor.
- Use a meatloaf pan or baking dish that is just the right size: If the pan is too big, the meatloaf will be too thin and dry. If the pan is too small, the meatloaf will be too thick and may not cook through.
- Bake the meatloaf at a moderate temperature: This will help to prevent the meatloaf from drying out.
- Let the meatloaf rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving: This will help to keep the juices in the meatloaf.
Conclusion:
With these tips in mind, you can make a delicious and moist meatloaf that your whole family will enjoy. Meatloaf is a classic comfort food that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you are looking for a hearty and satisfying meal, give meatloaf a try. You won't be disappointed!
