Meatloaf has always been a comfort food to me. My dad used to come up with a million different ways to make meatloaf, but he never used his pressure cooker. When I first made this recipe, I was scrambling trying to find new recipes for the seemingly endless supply of ground beef I had in the fridge. Instant Pot ground beef recipes are perfect for busy nights when we need something on the table that everyone is going to enjoy.
Let’s be honest, our kids don’t always like what we tell them is for dinner. Luckily, I have plenty of Kid-Friendly Instant Pot meals for my family. They love this Instant Pot Meatloaf especially when we pair it with Instant Pot mashed potatoes.
