One of your favorite comfort food meals can be ready in under an hour with this easy Instant Pot Meatloaf and Mashed Potatoes recipe!
If you’ve ever wondered how to cook meatloaf in an electric pressure cooker, wonder no more! This Instant Pot Meatloaf recipe is so easy and delicious!
Meatloaf was one of those meals that I never really liked growing up. It seemed to be on our regular rotation of dinners, and I wouldn’t say I hated it, but it definitely was not in my top 10 favorites. I loved meat in it’s true form (ie chicken breast, steaks, pork chops,) and meat in a “loaf” form just did not sound appealing to me.
However, as I’ve gotten older, I’ve truly learned to love it! After years and years of tweaking the recipe to get it just right, I finally have a meatloaf that I love. I make it for my family quite often, and it seems to always get rave reviews.
We have meatloaf even more often now that I’ve come up with an Instant Pot version. Comfort food made easy has been my mantra lately, and this recipe is no different. You can have it on the table in under an hour, complete with a side dish!
I usually serve my meatloaf with a side of mashed potatoes. The two just go hand in hand in my opinion. But if you’ve ever made mashed potatoes, you know they are a labor of love. You have to peel the potatoes, cut them, boil them, and THEN mash them. That’s a lot of work when you’re trying to get dinner ready in a hurry.
That’s what I love the most about this Instant Pot Meatloaf and Mashed Potato recipe! The meatloaf and mashed potatoes cook AT THE SAME TIME, IN THE SAME POT. How cool is that??
So needless to say, this pressure cooker meatloaf will be added to our regular dinner line up, and I hope it makes your line up too!
