Instant Pot Meatloaf & Mashed Potatoes
Make the meatloaf AND the mashed potatoes all in one pot! A quick, easy, and delicious weeknight dinner.
This meal is one of my husband’s favorites. But I rarely make it, because it takes an arm and a leg and some actual forethought in order to have it ready in time for a weeknight dinner.
NEWSFLASH: not anymore!!
Thanks to my Instant Pot (remember this IP spaghetti that starts with FROZEN ground beef?? #mindblown), all the components of this meal cook at the same time, in the same pot, and it couldn’t be easier!
Here’s the basic rundown of how this recipe works:
1. Potatoes and chicken broth go in the bottom.
2. Next, add the insert (ON TOP of the potatoes).
3. Form the meat loaf, wrap it in foil, and place it on top of the insert.
4. Remove the meatloaf, and mash the potatoes right in the pot with what’s left of the broth.
Voila! That’s really all there is to it, besides a small matter of broiling the meatloaf for a minute or to with ketchup on top at the end. But that’s pretty optional.
I hope you enjoy this as much as my husband did!! 🙂
