This Instant Pot meal is a comfort food classic made super fast and just what you need to get a home cooked meal on the table in a flash!
I know you have heard me say how much I love my Instant Pot (An electric pressure cooker)! But wow this recipe is AWESOME Y’ALL! If you have not gotten yours yet it’s time to take the plunge! Not only is it a time saver but everything I make turns out delicious!
The meatloaf was tender and potatoes always come out amazing! It’s my favorite way to make Mashed Potatoes too! And speaking of comfort Creamy Mac and Cheese is the bomb made in this!
How to make Meatloaf in the Instant Pot
- The best way to mix this up is getting those hands dirty! Well make sure they are clean first, but I find this the best way to put a meatloaf together. Grab all your meatloaf ingredients get to work!
- In the liner of your Instant Pot, place the potatoes in the bottom.
- Pour in chicken or beef stock. Sprinkle in salt and garlic.
- Mix. Place pats of butter on top.
- Put trivet with handles up on top of potatoes.
- Wrap foil around the meatloaf creating a pocket or “pan”.
- Don’t forget a little extra ketchup on top!
- Place the meatloaf in Instant Pot and lock on lid.
- Be sure pressure valve is closed.
- Set to manual high pressure for 30 minutes. Once it is finished cooking you can let it natural release or carefully open the valve to manual release. Once the pins drops open, carefully remove with tongs or pot holders.
- If desired, place on a baking sheet and cook under a broiler to caramelize the topping.
- Remove potatoes with a slotted spoon and serve this deliciousness!

January 28, 2019 at 3:18 pmThank you Tammy! It leaves the meatloaf so full of flavor and doesn’t dry out! I am thrilled he liked it! Now you can get him to eat it more often 😉

January 26, 2019 at 6:05 pmHey there Nikki, this looks fabulous!! Want to give it a try but I only have 1lb of meat on hand… do you think I should lower the time at all or stick with 30 minutes?
Nikki - Soulfully Made says
January 28, 2019 at 3:17 pmThank you Caitlin. I have not tested with just 1 lb, but I would start at 20 minutes and then increase time if needed.

January 14, 2019 at 6:49 pmI’m making with sweet potatoes this time and I also added bbq sauce this time! It was awesome the first time, I’m sure it will be this time!

January 5, 2019 at 3:10 pmThis looks wonderful! What adaptations would you use for turkey, if any? We don’t eat too much ground beef. This recipe looks delicious and easy!
Nikki - Soulfully Made says
January 6, 2019 at 5:18 pmI have not tried making a turkey loaf, we don’t eat a lot of ground turkey. I would give it a try as is and see how it works out. There is plenty of moist ingredients that my best guess is that it wouldn’t dry out and the cook time should suffice. Let me know how it works out, I would love to hear!
