Mom's Greaseless Meatloaf

This recipe is especially for Woofie who knows a pressure cooker is a faster way to make most recipes but... LOL Sorry could not resist that. Anyway heres a TNT recipe for meatloaf in your pressure cooker. This was written for stovetops but can be made in the CE digitals or other digital cookers as is. This is a great meatloaf for those that want to reduce the grease consumption as the grease is not in the meat but drops into the water in the pc.

Yield: 6

Mom's greaseless meatloaf. Using a pressure cooker removes the grease from the meat and leaves it in the cooker.

* 1 1/2 pound of ground beef ( I used 85% lean or better ) * 1 large egg * 1/3 cup finely chopped onion * 1/4 cup finely chopped bell pepper * 1 tsp dried mustard * 2/3 cup ketchup * 1 cup (more or less) Quaker quick oats * a dash of salt and pepper

Take ground beef and place in a large mixing bowl. In a separate bowl mix, ketchup, egg, salt, pepper, and dried mustard. Combine ground beef and the mixture. Best if kneaded by hand. Once it is well mixed add the onions and bell peppers. Best if kneaded by hand again. Then add oats a little at a time continuing to knead oats into the mixture, until the combination is firm enough to form 1 or 2 small football shapes (about 6-8 inches long and around 3-4 inches round).

Place the footballs into a skillet on med heat and brown lightly on top and bottom (turning carefully as needed do not burn). Once browned, remove from skillet and place into a pressure cooker with cooking grate in bottom. Add enough water to pressure cooker to cover over the grate by about 1/2 inch. A little bit of ketchup may be placed along the top of the meat. Use pressure cooker per manufacturers instructions. Once the pressure cap begins to rock, lower temp to just enough heat for rocker to rock slowly. Allow rocker to go for 25-30 minutes. Remove from heat; allow cooling enough to safely remove the lid. You will have the best meatloaf without all the grease of oven-baked meatloaf.
