Can You Instant Pot It?

In the spirit of

Good Mythical Morning, 

who love to ask if you can 

(insert word that is not a verb)

it.

Meatloaf.
Can you?

(Photo disclaimer, I am not a food photographer
and don't ever claim to be. Those colors are horrific!)
Nonetheless,

Why, YES! You can!

I looked around to figure out the method

people were using and

determined I could

use my family recipe for meatloaf.

It seems 2 pounds of meat was the 

consistent amount used.

Most of the recipes I found have you cook

potatoes in the pot at the same time

and then mash them.

I imagine, 

in my limited knowledge of all things Instant Pot,

part of the reasoning is, 

you have to have some liquid in the pot 

to achieve pressure cooking status.

I think.

I added 3 smashed cloves of garlic along with

one cup of chicken stock

to about 6-8 quartered potatoes.

I put a piece of foil over 

the rack and built my meatloaf on that

and then placed that right on top of the potatoes.

The recipes I found said to cook on high for 25 minutes.

Mine took more like 30 minutes.

(and do a quick release)

It was also suggested you throw it under the 

broiler for 5 minutes.

The meat is a little pale right out of the pot.

Given that you've cooked it on the foil lined rack, 

transferring it to a sheet pan is not problem

and no mess.

And!!! It slices!!!

I was afraid it would be mushy, all the meat I've

cooked so far has been fall apart tender. 

And the potatoes were amazing!

I may be being won over.....
