Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs ground beef
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 onion, finely chopped
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/2 cup ketchup
  • 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper

  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
  • Glaze: 1/2 cup ketchup, 2 tbsp brown sugar, 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 cup water (for Instant Pot)

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine the breadcrumbs and milk. Let soak for 5 minutes.
  2. Add the ground beef, eggs, onion, garlic, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper, oregano, paprika, and parsley. Mix until just combined.
  3. Shape the mixture into a loaf and place it on a piece of foil, folding the edges up to form a packet.
  4. Pour 1 cup of water into the Instant Pot and insert the trivet.
  5. Place the foil-wrapped meatloaf on the trivet.
  6. Seal the Instant Pot lid and set to High Pressure for 35 minutes.
  7. Once cooking is done, allow a 10-minute natural release, then quick release the remaining pressure.
  8. Carefully remove the meatloaf and discard excess liquid.
  9. In a small bowl, whisk together ketchup, brown sugar, and Dijon mustard for the glaze.
  10. Spread glaze over the top of the meatloaf.
  11. Optional: Place under the broiler for 3–5 minutes to caramelize the glaze.
  12. Let rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

For added flavor, try mixing beef and pork. Use the broiler step for a sticky, caramelized glaze.
