How to make meatloaf in the Instant Pot:
- The first thing you will want to do is combine ground beef, bread crumbs, tomato paste, onion, garlic, egg, oregano, Worcestershire sauce, salt and pepper in a mixing bowl. Mix well with a spoon or use your hands.
- Place a piece of foil into the bottom of the instant pot and shape it so it molds into a circle. Place the ground beef mixture into the instant pot, and flatten and shape it into a circle. Grab the sides of the foil and remove the meatloaf from the pot.
- Place 1 cup of water, potatoes, and carrots into the bottom of the instant pot. Place the steamer basket on top of the vegetables, making it as level as possible.
- Wrap the foil around the meatloaf as best as you can and place it on top of the steamer basket.
- Seal the instant pot and close the pressure release. Set the pot to manual high pressure for 15 minutes. Once the cycle is complete, let the pressure release naturally for about 10-15 minutes.
- Open the instant pot, and carefully remove the meatloaf by removing the steamer basket from the pot. Place meatloaf onto a serving dish and top with shredded cheese and dried parsley.

Was this recipe cooked in 6 or 8 qt? I didn’t use any veggies because I made mac and cheese so I just added 1½ cups water to bottom and did everything else as per your recipe.
Norma Peters says
Well meatloaf in foil pressure cooked on high in my 8 qt for 15 minutes then I let it naturally release for 15 minutes. I had to hit the QR and it took about 10 seconds before botton dropped. Opened and checked it, not cooked at all, didn’t even begin to cook. So I added a little water and restarted it. Where did I go wrong?
