Pressure Cooker Sunday Gravy by Foodiewife

Being a native California, with a combination of German and Mexico roots, I'd never heard of-- yet along-- tasted "Sunday Gravy". From my research, I've learned it's an Italian-American dish.

This my family's favorite meatloaf recipe, of all time! What makes this taste so good is a combination of beef, veal and pork-- pricier, but it doesn't taste like a giant hamburger!

This recipe originally was posted on "Witty in the City" and went viral on Pinterest. It was adapted from the "I Love Trader Joe's" cookbook. I can see why this recipe is popular, because it's absolutely delicious! My husband, and adult son, love this dish and I've made it several times. The sauce is a savory/sweet blend of Dijon…
