INSTANT POT MEAT LOAF

Instant Pot Meat Loaf image

I used to make this pressure-cooker meat loaf a lot when my kids were growing up and I was working. It's easy to make and a family favorite. Several loaves can be made ahead and frozen for busy weeks. Thaw a loaf in the refrigerator overnight and then it's ready to cook. -Kallee Krong-Mccreery, Escondido, California
