Ingredients

For the Meatloaf

2 lbs. lean ground beef or use ground beef, turkey, chicken, and/or pork
½ cup panko breadcrumbs
½ onion diced
4 cloves garlic minced
2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
2 large eggs beaten
2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1 tsp kosher salt
½ tsp ground black pepper
½ tsp dried ground sage

For the Glaze

½ cup ketchup
2 tbsp brown sugar
2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
2 tsp Dijon mustard

Instructions

In a large bowl, gently mix all of the meatloaf ingredients together.
2 lbs. lean ground beef, ½ cup panko breadcrumbs, ½ onion, 4 cloves garlic, 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley, 2 large eggs, 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce, 1 tsp kosher salt, ½ tsp ground black pepper, ½ tsp dried ground sage
Transfer the meatloaf mixture to a large piece of heavy-duty aluminum foil. Form the meatloaf into a 5x8-inch log.
Fold up the sides of the foil to make a secure basket for the meatloaf. Fold the sides of the foil high enough so the juices don’t spill out while cooking.
In a medium bowl, whisk the glaze ingredients together. Brush half of the glaze over the meatloaf.
½ cup ketchup, 2 tbsp brown sugar, 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar, 2 tsp Dijon mustard
Pour 1 cup of water into the bottom of the Instant Pot. Place the wire rack into the pot and gently lower the meatloaf in the foil onto the rack.
Attach the Instant Pot lid and ensure the valve is in the “sealing position.” Set the Instant Pot to Pressure Cook – Manual for 25 minutes and cook.
Once the Instant Pot has finished, allow the pressure to naturally release for 10 minutes.
Remove the lid and use the rack to carefully lift the meatloaf out of the Instant Pot and transfer it to a serving platter. Let the meatloaf rest for 15 minutes. Insert a meat thermometer into the middle of the meatloaf. Internal temperature should reach 160°F.
Top with remaining glaze and serve.

Notes

To bake in the oven: Place the meatloaf in a 9×4-inch loaf pan and place it on a baking sheet, spread with half of the sauce, and bake at 375°F for 45-50 minutes, or until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center reads 160°F.
