    Instant Pot Meatloaf and Mashed Potatoes - Never did I think that meatloaf and mashed potatoes could be a one pot meal, but here it is.  Meatloaf and mashed potatoes, cooked at the same time, in the same pot.

    Instant Pot Meatloaf

     

    You are not reading the title wrong.  It's correct.  Yep, all in one pot, at the same time.  I couldn't believe it either. 

    Meatloaf is something that even my kids will eat.  Well, two out of three.  Majority rules here in my house.  If the majority will eat it, I make it on the regular. For the record, there are not many recipes that fall into this category. Some of the recipes that have made it into kid approved status are Taco Meatloaf, Taco Pasta, Chicken Broccoli Ziti and Instant Pot Mac & Cheese.

    The problem I have is, once the warmer weather comes, I don't like having my oven on for upwards of an hour. 

    The answer is simple.  The trusty Instant Pot.

    I know it probably seems like I've been shoving this Instant Pot down your throats lately.  I know.  I am a little guilty, but the reality is, I'm using it pretty much on a daily basis.

    Take my advice or don't but just know, life with an Instant Pot is an easier life.  Schpeel officially over.

    Okay, so here's how I did it.

    First, I mixed together my meatloaf ingredients and wrapped it in foil.  Next, I quartered a few potatoes and placed them on the trivet that came with my Instant Pot, over 1 cup of water.  Then, I put my foil wrapped meatloaf on top of the potatoes and set my timer.

    After 35 minutes cooking time, I did a quick release.  I removed the meatloaf and poured out most of the water and ditched the trivet.  I set my pot to saute for a minute or two to get the excess water out of my potatoes.  I then mashed them right in the Instant Pot with butter, heavy cream, salt and pepper.

    As a finishing touch, I brushed a little steak sauce over the top.  That is optional though.

    Tried this recipe?Let us know how it was!

    Per my husband's taste preference, I brushed my Instant Pot Meatloaf with a bit of steak sauce after it was cooked.  However, you can "glaze" your meatloaf prior to cooking with BBQ sauce, chili sauce, ketchup, steak sauce or sauce of your preference prior to cooking as well.

      I added some green pepper & red onion. Potatoes were great but the meatloaf was not cooked at 35 minutes (160°). I had to cook it further for 20 minutes in 400° oven.

        Really? This surprises me, I've always had luck w/ the time. What shape did you form it into? I wonder if you formed yours into a thicker shape? I'd be curious to hear the details further.

          I honestly don't think it was too thick. I will make this again, though. And I'll try to make it even thinner than before.

      This was amazing. Used a meatloaf mix (beef/veal/pork) and it came out perfectly. Instead of carrots I squirted a Tbs of tomato paste. Cooked peas separately for a manly man’s mid-day dinner.
