  • 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.

Notes

  • Use certified gluten-free breadcrumbs or oats for making gluten-free meatloaf.
  • Once it is transferred to a serving plate, let it rest for 15 minutes or else it may crumble or fall apart.
  • Half the ingredients if you are using 3qt instant pot due to its capacity.
