Welcome to my Instant Pot easy meatloaf recipe. Enjoy a traditional tomato ketchup based meatloaf recipe in half the time when cooked in your Instant Pot. Let the smell of the meatloaf aroma fill your kitchen and enjoy an easy family meal.
Did someone mention the word “meatloaf”?
Well if they did I am there and waiting for some! I love meatloaf and it is one of the easiest meals to make that your entire family will love. Mix the ingredients in a mixing bowl, place them into a container in your Instant Pot and then you have dinner ready to go.
There are no hidden marinades to make, no difficult ingredients to source and it is so easy that you could give the recipe to your 8 year old to do and they would excel over it.
In fact this is the easiest meatloaf recipe we have made. We have done a black peppercorn meatloaf before and there is also our Mediterranean meatloaf but nothing bets one that is ready this quick.
Dominic and I often work long hours. There is lots of work on RecipeThis.com (which you wouldn’t believe the hours even if we told you!) and then there is looking after 3 kids, then there is the house to clean, the dog to walk and then we have 2 attention seeking cats.
Then we also want to eat cooked meals from scratch everyday. So the conversation some days starts the same:
- What do you want for dinner?
- Something quick as I’m too tired to cook
- Okay then lets make meatloaf
It is clearly our “go to” meal!
And if like many Instant Pot newbies you are not confident using the Instant Pot (I am slowly get there thanks to Dominic for always sealing it for me) then this is one of those quick and easy meals while you build up your confidence.
