This is from Instant pot miracles. Cooking time for the meatloaf in an instant pot is 1 hour and 10 minutes. Seemed very long. I have to say for a turkey meatloaf, it was very tasty.
Ingredients:
8 oz. sliced bacon, chopped
1 medium onion, chopped
1 C water
1 egg
2 T barbecue sauce
1 T chili powder
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 t black pepper
1 C cheddar cheese
1/2 C quick0cooking oats
1-1 1/4 # ground turkey
1/4 C barbecue sauce
Directions:
- Select sauté on the Instant Pot and adjust to normal. When hot, add bacon and onion. Cook until bacon is crisp and onion is tender and browned, stirring occasionally, 4-5 minutes. Press cancel. Transfer bacon and onion to a small bowl using a slotted spoon. Carefully pour bacon grease from pot and discard. Place trivet in pot. Add the water to the pot.
- For meatloaf, in a large bowl which together egg and the 2 T barbecue sauce, chili powder, garlic and pepper.
- Stir in half the cheese and all the oats.
- Add turkey and bacon mixture; mix well.
- On a 12”X 8” piece of heavy foil shape meat mixture into an 8” long loaf in the center of the foil.
- Holding the ends of the foil, lower the meatloaf down into the pot until is rests on the trivet.
- Tuck foil into pot as needed to allow the lid to go on. Secure the lid on the pot. Close the pressure-release valve.
- Select meat/stew and set the time for 1 hour and 10 minutes. When cooking complete, use a natural release it depressurize.
- Carefully remove meatloaf from the pot by lifting the ends of foil. Transfer meatloaf to a platter. Spoon the 1/4 C barbecue sauce over the top of the meatloaf. Sprinkle with remaining 1/2 C cheese. Let stand 5 minutes before serving.
I served this with mashed potatoes and green beans.
