𝑲𝒆𝒕𝒐 𝑰𝒏𝒔𝒕𝒂𝒏𝒕 𝑷𝒐𝒕 𝑴𝒆𝒂𝒕𝒍𝒐𝒂𝒇

𝙄𝙣𝙜𝙧𝙚𝙙𝙞𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙨:
1 pound ground beef
2 ounces pork rinds, crushed very fine
1 egg
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1 tablespoon dried minced onion
2 tablespoons sugar-free ketchup

𝘿𝙞𝙧𝙚𝙘𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣𝙨:
• In a large bowl, combine all of the ingredients and mix until well combined.
• Form the meatloaf mixture into a loaf shape and place it in a pan that fits inside your Instant Pot.
• Pour 1 cup of water into the Instant Pot.
• Place the trivet in the Instant Pot and then place the meatloaf pan on top of the trivet.
• Close the lid and seal the valve.
• Cook on high for 35 minutes.
• Quick release the pressure.
• Remove the meatloaf from the Instant Pot and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.

𝙏𝙞𝙥𝙨:
• To crush the pork rinds, place them in a zip-top bag. Pound them with your fist, or use a rolling pin or the bottom of a heavy pan to crush them into a fine powder.
• If you don't have a pan that fits your Instant Pot, you can make a makeshift pan by folding a large piece of aluminum foil into a loaf shape. You can also deform a foil pan to fit.
