FAQs about meatloaf
You will use the same method of creating an aluminum foil pan and resting it on the rack. Just skip the part of the mashed potatoes on the bottom.
Simply substitute the breadcrumbs for a gluten free version. You can also use other substitutes like rice flour, almond flour, crushed potato chips, or even crackers. I have not tested any of these ingredients in this recipe, so test at your own risk!
Eggs are essential to keeping meatloaf moist. Most recipes will call for at least 2-3 eggs. Some methods of making meatloaf require soaking whole slices of bread into milk then tearing.

Instant Pot Meatloaf with Garlic Mashed Potatoes
Equipment
- Instant Pot
Ingredients
For the Meatloaf:
- 1 lb lean ground beef
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup Italian bread crumbs
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- 1 teaspoon dried onion flakes
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
For the sauce:
- 1- 15 ounce can of tomato sauce
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
For the mashed potatoes:
- 8 Yukon gold potatoes chopped
- 6 cloves garlic
- 1 cup water
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 4 tablespoons salted butter
- 1/2 cup whipped cream cheese
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
Instructions
- Mix all the ingredients for the meatloaf together and set to the side.
- In a bowl mix together a can of tomato sauce with brown sugar. Whisk until incorporated, set to the side.
- Rinse and chop the potatoes. Place in the Instant Pot along with garlic cloves, water, and salt. Place a metal rack on top of the potatoes making it as even as possible.
- Create an aluminum foil pan and place on top of the rack. Then, carefully transfer mixed meat into the foil pan. Shape into a loaf and pour 1/4-1/3 cup of the sweet tomato sauce on top.
- Close lid making sure the steam valve is closed. Set on “manual” for 15 minutes. Once it’s done cooking let it naturally release for 15 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to broil on low.
- Force any remaining pressure out and carefully remove the lid. Carefully pull the meatloaf out of the Instant Pot.
- Then, drain any remaining water from the potatoes. Add potatoes back to Instant Pot with butter. Using a potato masher, mash potatoes. Then mix in the milk and parsley until desired consistency.
- Place the meatloaf on a sheet pan, and place in the oven for 2 minutes or until crisp on top.
- Once done you can slice the meatloaf and serve with additional tomato sauce. Divide mashed potatoes and meatloaf evenly among plates and enjoy.
Notes
- While the meal is cooking work on cooking 1-2 vegetables as a side to go along with dinner.
- You can skip the broiling part of the meatloaf if you don’t care about having a crunchy top. That’s all for texture.
