Anytime that I can get Hayden (my 7 year old) to eat red meat (beef, pork etc) is a win for me! Anytime I’ve made meatloaf before, he’s hated it and since he loves everything I make in the Instant Pot, I decided to give it a shot! Well, it was a HUGE success… the only problem? I didn’t make enough, apparently. haha!
If you’re new to the Instant Pot, start here:
Instant Pot 101: Tips, Tricks and Must-Have Accessories.
Okay okay, this is a relatively easy dinner to prepare, so I had my sons help me out! Grab your ingredients and let’s go!
Start by washing, peeling and dicing the potatoes. Place them in the Instant Pot. Add the chicken broth, butter, salt, pepper and onion/garlic.
Mix the ingredients for the meatloaf together. Spray your pyrex dishes or 7-inch springform pan with non-stick cooking spray.
Add the meatloaf to the dishes or pan.
Mix the ingredients for the meatloaf sauce and then spoon the sauce over top.
You can make this all in one pot by placing the trivet on top of the mashed potatoes and then placing your dishes or springform pan on top. You can also cook them separately if you have two Instant Pots.
If you are making the meatloaf and potatoes separately: add 1 cup of water to the bottom of the pot and place your dishes or springform pan on the trivet inside the pot. Cook for the same amount of time.
If you’re making the meatloaf and potatoes in the same pot: Close the lid, adjust the venting knob to “Sealing” and cook on HIGH pressure for 20 minutes. Quickly release the pressure and remove the meatloaf.
Mash the potatoes and add more butter, heavy cream and cheddar cheese if you’d like.
Enjoy! 🙂
The kids went crazy for it, they ate every bite and begged for more! Mom win! 🙂
