When we tried meatloaf we used this recipe
CLASSIC MEAT LOAF
This meat loaf cooks in a cake pan that fits snugly in the Instant Pot. You can make it up to 10 hours before you're ready to eat, leaving it on the Keep Warm setting. Just before serving, pop the meat loaf under the broiler to warm the sweet and tangy glaze.
SERVES 4
1 pound lean ground beef (90 percent lean)
¾ cup dried bread crumbs
1 small yellow onion, finely chopped
1 large egg
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
½ teaspoon kosher salt
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 cup water
GLAZE
¼ cup ketchup
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

Lightly grease a 7-inch cake pan with olive oil or nonstick cooking spray. In a bowl, combine the beef, bread crumbs, onion, egg, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, salt, and pepper and mix well with your hands until all of the ingredients are evenly distributed. Transfer the meat mixture to the prepared pan, shaping it into an even layer. Cover the pan tightly with aluminum foil.
Fold a 20-inch-long sheet of aluminum foil in half lengthwise twice to create a 3-inch-wide strip. Center it underneath the pan to act as a sling for lifting the pan in and out of the Instant Pot. Pour 1 cup water into the pot and add the trivet.
Holding the ends of the foil sling, lift the cake pan and lower it into the pot. Fold over the ends of the sling so they fit inside the pot. Secure the lid and set the Pressure Release to Sealing. Select the Manual setting and set the cooking time for 20 minutes at high pressure. Perform a quick release by moving the Pressure Release to Venting.
While the pressure is releasing, make the glaze. In a small bowl, stir together the ketchup, sugar, and mustard, mixing well.
Open the pot and, wearing heat-resistant mitts, grasp the ends of the foil sling and lift the meat loaf out of the Instant Pot. Remove the foil covering the pan, then brush the glaze on top of the meat loaf.
Broil the meat loaf in a toaster oven (or a conventional oven) for a few minutes, just until the glaze becomes bubbly and browned. Cut into slices to serve.
