How to Make BBQ Bacon Meatloaf in an Instant Pot or Electric Pressure Cooker<\/b><\/h2>\n

This Instant Pot meatloaf recipe<\/strong> will work in any brand of electric pressure cooker, including the Instant Pot, Ninja Foodi, or Power Pressure Cooker XL.<\/p>\n

This is my family\u2019s favorite meatloaf recipe<\/a>, updated for the pressure cooker. I love cooking meatloaf in the pressure cooker! The steam created while pressure cooking helps keep it from drying out.<\/p>\n

How to Fit Your Meatloaf in Your Cooking Pot<\/b><\/h2>\n

It’s important to shape the meatloaf so that it will fit in your pressure cooking pot. My meatloaf was about 6-inches wide by 7-inches long, and it fit perfectly in my Instant Pot Duo.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019ve shaped your meatloaf differently (round and domed or tall instead of wide) or if you\u2019ve switched out or doubled the ingredients, your meatloaf may need a few minutes more to cook.<\/p>\n

How Do I Know If My Meatloaf Is Done Pressure Cooking?<\/b><\/h2>\n

The best way to tell if your meatloaf is done is when an instant-read thermometer<\/a> inserted in the center reaches reads 155 to 160F.<\/p>\n

Also, keep in mind that some brands of barbecue sauce can leave a pink coloring on your meatloaf, even after its reached the proper internal temperature.<\/p>\n

\"Crisping<\/p>\n

Finishing the Meatloaf with an Air Fryer Lid<\/b><\/h2>\n

The meatloaf will be completely cooked through once you finish pressure cooking.<\/p>\n

However, in order to get that beautiful color and flavor from the caramelized BBQ sauce, you will need to broil your meatloaf for a few minutes.<\/p>\n

In the recipe, I give instructions for both broiling it in the oven and using an air fryer lid. <\/b>(It doesn\u2019t matter whether it\u2019s a two-in-one like the Ninja Foodi<\/a> or the Instant Pot Duo Crisp<\/a> or a standalone lid like the Mealthy Crisp Lid<\/a> or the brand-new Instant Pot Air Fryer Lid\u2014review coming soon!)<\/p>\n
