Instant Pot Meatloaf

After I tried this all-in-one meatloaf dinner in an Instant pot, I have never made it a different way since. You are going to love the way the potatoes and meatloaf cook all together, cutting down on pots and pans. It also frees up your oven and stovetop for other things if needed. It also eliminates heating up your kitchen to have this classic favorite meal. The family is going to love the taste and you are going to love how easy it is.

Using the instant pot infuses moisture and flavor into the meat, no more dry meatloaf! The flavor is customizable too. Add parmesan and more Italian seasoning and top with marinara for an Italian twist on this favorite. I used to avoid meatloaf because it was such a mess, but cooking it in the instant pot wipes that out. And being able to do the potatoes at the same time is such a plus. Perfect for a lazy Sunday dinner or even a quick weekday hearty meal. Enjoy!

How Long to Cook Meatloaf in an Instant Pot

You will probably never make meatloaf any other way after you have tried this! It’s perfect every single time!

1. Potatoes: Add the potatoes to the bottom of your instant pot. Pour the water on top.
2. Making the Loaf: In a large bowl combine beef, onion, parsley, Italian breadcrumbs, milk, Worcestershire sauce, eggs, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Use your hands to mix until combined being careful not to overmix.
3. Prep for the Instant Pot: Place a sheet of aluminum foil on the counter. Shape the meatloaf into a loaf and shape the sides of the aluminum foil around the meatloaf. Place on top of the potatoes in the instant pot.
4. Glaze: In a small bowl whisk together ketchup, vinegar, and brown sugar. Brush half of the mixture on the top of the meatloaf.
5. Cook: Cover and turn the instant pot to the sealing position. Pressure cook on manual high for 25 minutes. Release the pressure with the quick release. Check the meatloaf to see if it has reached an internal temperature of 155 degrees.
6. Let it Rest: Remove the meatloaf from the pan and let it rest.
7. Mashing the Pototes: Add the milk and butter to the potatoes and mash with a beater or hand masher until they reach the desired consistency. Salt to taste.
