Instant Pot Meatloaf

• servings: 4 servings
• active time: 15 minutes
• total time: 45 minutes

Ingredients

1 ½ pounds baby gold potatoes

1 cup chicken broth, (or water)

2 teaspoons minced garlic

4 Tablespoons ,salted butter (sliced)

1/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese

dried parsley (optional)

1 pound lean ground beef (93% lean)

3/4 cup milk

1 large egg

3 slices bread (cut up into small pieces)

1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

½ tablespoon onion powder

½ teaspoon salt

½ teaspoon dry ground mustard

¼ teaspoon black pepper

⅛ teaspoon garlic powder

½ cup ketchup

1 Tablespoon balsamic vinegar (optional)

Directions

Spray the bottom of a 6-quart electric pressure cooker (Instant Pot) with nonstick cooking spray or wipe with a bit of butter. Add baby potatoes into the bottom of the insert.

Pour chicken broth on top of potatoes. Stir in minced garlic.

Top potatoes with pats of butter. Place rack insert on top of Little Potatoes.

In a bowl, combine all the meatloaf ingredients. It really is best to use your (very clean!) hands to mix this up.

Place meatloaf mixture onto a sheet of nonstick aluminum foil. Shape the loaf into a rectangle and fold up the sides of the foil so it makes a little meatloaf boat.

In a small bowl, combine meatloaf glaze ingredients and stir well.

Spread half of this glaze mixture onto the meatloaf (we'll use the rest later). Place meatloaf on top of rack insert.

Place lid onto pressure cooker and lock it into place. Make sure the valve on the lid is turned to "Sealing".

Set to manual high pressure for 30 minutes. Note: If using a different pressure cooker, then you may need to increase the cooking time.

After it is done cooking, move the valve setting to "Venting" (this is called a quick release). Be VERY careful of the steam that will quickly come out.

Allow all of the steam to fully release before unlocking lid.

Optional: Using oven mitts, carefully remove your 'meatloaf boat' and place it on a baking sheet. Set your oven to "High" broil. Spread the rest of the meatloaf glaze on top of the cooked meatloaf. Then slide meatloaf under the broiler for a couple of minutes just until it starts to bubble.

Meanwhile, add Parmesan cheese to cooked potatoes in Instant Pot. Sprinkle with dried parsley (optional) and stir well.

Remove meatloaf from the oven. Carefully place meatloaf on a serving plate using a large spatula. Then, gently remove the insert from the Instant Pot (using oven mitts) and carefully drain any excess broth from the bottom. Spread Little Potatoes around meatloaf.
