PREP

Select sauté on the Instant Pot® and adjust to normal. When hot, add bacon and onion. Cook until bacon is crisp and onion is tender and browned, stirring occasionally, for 4 to 5 minutes. Press cancel. Transfer bacon and onion to a small bowl using a slotted spoon. Carefully pour bacon grease from pot and discard. Place trivet in pot. Add the water to pot.

For meatloaf, in a large bowl whisk together egg, the 2 tablespoons barbecue sauce, chili powder, garlic, and pepper. Stir in half the cheese and all the oats. Add turkey and the bacon mixture; mix well. On a 12×8-inch piece of heavy foil shape meat mixture into an 8-inch-long loaf in the center of the foil. Holding the ends of the foil, lower the meatloaf down into the pot until it rests on the trivet. Tuck foil into pot as needed to allow the lid to go on. Secure the lid on the pot. Close the pressure-release valve.

COOK

Select meat/stew. When cooking is complete, use a natural release to depressurize.
