I love using my Instant Pot on the regular for all of my meat dishes including:

• Instant Pot Chicken Breast

• Pot Roast

• Ribs
• Rump Roast

HOW TO MAKE MEATLOAF IN THE INSTANT POT

The key to this Instant Pot meatloaf is mixing your ingredients thoroughly, and using a piece of foil to form the loaf.

You could use a small loaf pan that fits inside the Instant Pot, but I think the foil worked perfectly and I didn’t want to have to buy a special pan.

The ingredients in this instant pot meatloaf are ground beef (I like to get mine from Butcherbox), grated onion, almond flour (I used my tutorial for how to make almond flour), heavy cream, egg, mustard powder, garlic powder, salt and pepper.

I used almond flour to keep this meatloaf keto, but you can definitely use breadcrumbs instead.

I combined all of the ingredients with the best tool…my hands!  I laid out a sheet of foil and put the meat mixture on top, then I formed the loaf.

I crinkled the foil around the meatloaf and I put it in the instant pot, on the rack.  I also added 1 cup of water into the pot.

I sealed the lid and I set the Instant pot to cook for 20 minutes at high pressure.  When the time was up, I let the pressure release for 10 minutes.

For the glaze on top of the meatloaf, I mixed together ketchup, soy sauce, sweetener, and apple cider vinegar.  I spooned it over the top and had some leftover for dipping.

If you want, you can put the meatloaf under the broiler for a few minutes.

I like to serve this Instant Pot Meatloaf with mashed cauliflower and blistered green beans…so good!!!
