Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 pounds ground beef
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 cup ketchup (for topping)
  • 1 cup water (for pot)

Instructions

  • Mix ground beef, breadcrumbs, egg, salt, pepper, and garlic powder in a bowl. Form mixture into a loaf on the Instant Pot trivet. Pour 1/2 cup ketchup over the top. Add 1 cup water to the Instant Pot. Lock the lid and set to high pressure. Cook for 15 minutes. Let the meatloaf rest with natural release for 10 minutes. Carefully remove and serve.

Notes

Use a trivet to prevent the meatloaf from touching the water, ensuring even cooking.
For extra flavor, mix 1 tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce into the meat mixture (ensure it's gluten-free if needed).
Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
