How to make Instant Pot Meatloaf And Mashed Potatoes

Step 1: Combine the meatloaf ingredients in a large bowl. In the end, add the ground pork, beef, and cheese. Mix well, then shape the mixture into an oval, making sure that it will fit into the Instant Pot.

Step 2: Grab a foil and make a boat. Place the meatloaf inside. Ensure that the boat is nicely hugging the meatloaf. Keep the foil open on top.

Step 3: To the bottom of a 6-quart Instant Pot, add the diced tomatoes. Pour in the broth, season with salt and pepper, then the butter. On top, place a long-legged trivet.

Step 4: To the pot, add the aluminium boat with the meatloaf. Cover the pot and seal the valve. Set on High Pressure and cook for 20 minutes. Then, do a Natural Pressure Release for 10 minutes, releasing the remaining pressure naturally after.

Step 5: In the meantime, prepare the oven. Preheat it to 375 degrees F.

Step 6: Carefully take the aluminium boat with the meatloaf out of the pressure cooker and transfer it to a baking sheet. Push the foil down to ensure that the sides of the meatloaf are not covered.

Step 7: Mix the glaze ingredients in a medium bowl. Pour half of the glaze over the mixture, brushing the top and sides to cover the meatloaf.

Step 8: Place inside the preheated oven and bake for about 10 to 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and brush the rest of the glaze on the meatloaf.

Step 9: Meanwhile, set the Instant Pot to Saute. Add the potatoes, mash, then add the cream. Stir well to combine. Turn the Instant Pot off, then stir in the sour cream. Season with salt and pepper according to taste.

Step 10: Slice the meatloaf before serving. Enjoy over mashed potatoes and extra glaze. Sprinkle with some freshly chopped parsley.
