  • 1/3 cup milk

  • 1 tablespoon packed brown sugar
  • Chopped fresh Italian (flat-leaf) parsley, if desired

    In large bowl, mix Meatloaf ingredients until mixed well. Form mixture into small loaf, and place in center of foil square. Pull corners and sides of foil up, but do not seal. Place on top of rack inside insert.

    Secure lid; set pressure valve to SEALING. Select MANUAL; cook on high pressure 30 minutes. Select CANCEL, and release pressure naturally for 10 minutes.

Tips from the Pillsbury Kitchens

  • tip 1
    You can substitute 1/4 cup barbecue sauce in place of the ketchup and brown sugar mixture for topping.
  • tip 2
    Serve this Instant Pot® Meatloaf with a side of mashed potatoes or Pillsbury™ Biscuits.
  • tip 3
    Allow your pressure cooker meatloaf to stand 10 minutes before cutting to help keep slices intact when serving.
  • tip 4
    When forming the meatloaf, be sure to have an even thickness throughout so it cooks consistently.
  • tip 5
    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.
