This flavorful, juicy Instant Pot Meatloaf is an easy instant pot dinner. The meatloaf is made with ground beef (or a combination of ground beef and ground turkey), breadcrumbs, spices, and eggs, and I usually add potatoes to the bottom of the instant pot to make mashed potatoes at the same time, for an all-in-one meal!

For the Meatloaf:

• 2lb ground beef (or ground turkey, ground pork or a combination)
• 2large eggs
• 4TBS ketchup
• 2TBS Worcestershire sauces
• 2tsp Dijon mustard
• 4cloves garlic, minced (or 1½ tsp garlic powder)
• 1tsp salt
• ½tsp freshly ground black pepper
• 1tsp dried sage
• ½cup yellow or sweet onion, minced (or 3 tsp dried minced onion)
• ½cup unseasoned breadcrumbs, regular or Panko
  

Meatloaf sauce:

• ½cup ketchup
• 6TBS light brown sugar
• 2tsp Dijon mustard
• ¼tsp ground nutmeg

For the mashed potatoes:

• 3lb Yukon gold potatoes, quartered
• 1cup water
• ½tsp salt
• ¼cup milk
• ¼cup sour cream or plain yogurt
  
• 3TBS butter

Special Equipment:

• Instant Pot and its Wire Rack
• Heavy duty aluminum foil

Total Prep & Cook Time: 60 minutes

Meatloaf Prep:

Add all of the meatloaf ingredients to a large bowl and gently mix everything to combine (without over-working the meat).

Form the meat mixture into a round loaf that will fit into your instant pot.

Place the loaf on a large piece of aluminum foil and fold the edges up to make a secure nest for the meatloaf to rest in. (You want the edges high enough that grease from the meatloaf won’t spill out onto the potatoes while cooking.)

Instant Pot:

Add the quartered potatoes, water, and salt to the bottom of the instant pot.

Lay the Instant Pot wire rack on top of the potatoes. Place the aluminum foil “nest” with the meatloaf on top of the rack.

Secure the lid on the pot and close the pressure release valve. Select manual/High pressure and cook at high pressure for 25 minutes. When the timer beeps, allow the pressure to naturally release for 10 minutes, then use quick release.

Sauce:

While the meatloaf cooks, make the sauce by combining all of the sauce ingredients in a bowl. Mix until smooth. Set aside.

Finish:

Remove the Instant Pot lid, and carefully remove the meatloaf. Check for an internal temperature of 155°F. If below 155°F, finish in a 350°F oven. Discard the aluminum foil and grease drippings.

Spoon the meatloaf sauce over the top (or serve on the side) and cut into slices.

Mashed Potato:

Add the milk, sour cream, butter, salt and pepper to the instant pot with the potatoes. Mash to combine. Taste and adjust seasonings, as needed.
Serve with your choice of vegetable.

A trick to ensuring your foil boat will fit on the rack, is to form it around the rack.
