Equipment

Ninja Foodi or Instant Pot with crisper lid

Ingredients

Meatloaf

⅔ cup breadcrumbs
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 eggs beaten
⅓ cup whole milk
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 cup shredded cheddar
2 pounds ground beef
1 cup water

Glaze

½ cup ketchup
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
1 tablespoon soy sauce

Instructions

In a large bowl, stir together the breadcrumbs salt and pepper.
Add the eggs, milk, soy sauce, and garlic.
Add the cheese and meat to the bowl. With clean hands, mix until everything is throughly combined.
Pour the water into the bottom of your Ninja Foodi, and place the trivet on top of the water.
Prepare a foil sling by layering two sheets of aluminum foil in opposite directions. Place the meat mixture on top of the foil and form into a loaf.
Transfer the meat in the foil to the prepared Ninja Foodi.
Place the lid on, and set the valve to sealed. Cook at high pressure for 35 minutes. When the time is done, allow the pressure to release naturally (10 to 15 minutes), before carefully opening the lid.
While the pressure is releasing, make the glaze by whisking together the ketchup, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, and soy sauce.
Brush the sauce on top of the meatloaf, and set your Foodi to broil. Broil until the sauce is lightly caramelized
Let the meatloaf rest for at least 5 minutes, and then serve warm.
