Make It Now Cooking Directions

These directions are for cooking this recipe to serve immediately and NOT to freeze for later.

  1. **Due to the nature of pressure cooking there is always room for inconsistency. The times given here are based on 4 servings fresh. If you are using more servings you may need to increase your cooking time.**
  2. In a large bowl, combine all ingredients except the bbq sauce #2.
  3. Shape the meat into a loaf that will fit into the Instant Pot with 1/2 inch margin on each side.
  4. Place the meatloaf on top of a large piece of foil. This will support the meatloaf in the Instant Pot and also act as handles for removal.
  5. Pour 1 cup water into the Instant Pot and place trivet into the bottom.
  6. Place the meatloaf inside the Instant Pot and top with bbq sauce #2.
  7. Lock lid into place and seal steam nozzle.
  8. Cook on high pressure for 20 minutes.
  9. Quick release pressure.
