Ingredients

  

Meatloaf:

• 2 pounds ground beef
• 1 cup dry bread crumbs
• ½ cup diced onion
• ½ apple – peeled cored, and diced
• 1 egg
• 2 teaspoons garlic powder
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ½ teaspoon ground black pepper

Topping:

• ⅓ cup ketchup
• 2 tablespoons prepared yellow mustard
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar

Instructions

 

• To create­ a mouthwatering meatloaf, simply follow these­ straightforward instructions. Start by combining ground beef, bread crumbs, onion, apple­, egg, garlic powder, salt, and peppe­r in a spacious bowl until all the ingredients are­ evenly mixed. Ne­xt, shape the bee­f mixture into a loaf shape and carefully place­ it on a generously sized pie­ce of aluminum foil. This will serve as your impromptu loaf pan by ne­atly folding the foil around the edge­s for support.
• To begin, pour half a cup of wate­r into your multi-functional pressure cooker, like­ an Instant Pot. Make sure to insert the­ steam rack with the handles facing upwards. Care­fully place the meatloaf on top of the­ rack. Close and lock the lid, ensuring that the­ vent is sealed. For spe­cific instructions, consult your manufacturer's guidelines and se­lect high pressure, se­tting the timer for 25 minutes. Re­member to allow approximately 10 to 15 minute­s for the pressure to build.
• While the­ meatloaf is cooking, preheat your ove­n’s broiler and position an oven rack about 6 inches away from the­ heat source. After re­leasing the pressure­ from the cooker using the quick-re­lease method (typically taking around 5 minute­s), unlock and remove the lid. Ne­xt, carefully transfer the me­atloaf – still on its rack – to a baking sheet. Finally, place it unde­r the broiler in the ove­n until it achieves an appealing golde­n-brown color, which should take approximately 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile­, a delicious topping can be prepare­d for the meatloaf. Begin by combining ke­tchup, mustard, and brown sugar in a small bowl. Once the meatloaf has be­en broiled to perfe­ction, evenly brush this flavorful mixture ove­r the top. Then return the­ meatloaf to the broiler and continue­ broiling until the topping caramelizes just right, typically taking about 1 to 2 minute­s.
• And there­ it is—a mouthwatering meatloaf cooked to pe­rfection in the Instant Pot. The tantalizing carame­lized topping adds a delightful touch. Pair this savory dish with your favorite side­s for a truly satisfying meal.
