Expert Tips

You can substitute 1/4 cup barbecue sauce in place of the ketchup and brown sugar mixture for topping.
Serve this meatloaf with a side of mashed potatoes or Pillsbury™ biscuits.
Allow the meatloaf to stand 10 minutes before cutting to help keep slices intact when serving.
When forming the meatloaf, be sure to have an even thickness throughout so it cooks consistently.
Making a foil sling helps trap the fat drippings and makes it easy to remove the meatloaf from the insert of the Instant Pot™ after cooking.
