Best 3 Pressure Luck Meatloaf Potatoes Recipes

PRESSURE-COOKER MEATLOAF & POTATOES

Steps:

• Heat 1 tablespoon butter in a multicooker on sauté mode until melted. Add bell pepper and onion. Cook, stirring, until softened and beginning to brown, 4 to 6 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl, wipe out the insert and let cool slightly.
• Meanwhile, stack 2 16-inch-long pieces of foil. Coat the top layer with cooking spray.
• Add beef, breadcrumbs, egg, Worcestershire, mustard, garlic powder, 1/4 teaspoon salt and pepper to the bowl with the vegetables. With clean hands, gently knead the mixture to combine; do not overmix. Pat the meat mixture into a loaf shape (about 7 by 4 inches) and transfer to the center of the prepared foil. Fold the edges of the foil up until just touching the loaf and crimp the corners to form a foil "pan" for the loaf to cook in. (The sides of the "pan" should be about 1 to 1 1/2 inches high and no longer than 8 inches, so it can fit in your multicooker.) Spread barbecue sauce on top of the meatloaf.
• Place potatoes in a single layer in the multicooker. Pour broth (or water) into the pan and sprinkle with the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt. Place a trivet, with the handles facing up, on top of the potatoes. Place the meatloaf on top of the trivet. Close and lock the lid. Cook at high pressure for 20 minutes. Release the pressure and carefully lift the meatloaf out of the pan using the trivet handles. Set aside to rest.
• Remove the potatoes to a medium bowl with a slotted spoon. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon butter and parsley and stir gently until the butter has melted. Gently lift the meatloaf out of the pan and transfer to a cutting board. Cut into 6 slices and serve with the potatoes. (Discard the liquid left behind, or drizzle it over the slices for serving.)

INSTANT POT BEST MEATLOAF & MASHED POTATOES

Steps:

• In a large bowl, mix together all the meatloaf ingredients by hand for about 2 minutes until it clumps together and stays in a giant meatball formation. Spray a bundt pan (use this one for best results) with non-stick cooking spray and pack the meatloaf mixture into it. Cover with non-stick foil or spritz non-stick spray on the foil and puncture a hole in the middle of the foil so the steam can go through the bundt pan's center - DO NOT forget to do this (NOTE: If you don't want to use the bundt, you can shape the meat into a rectangular loaf and rest it on non-stick aluminum foil with the sides of the foil folded up so it covers all sides of the meatloaf with the top fully exposed. Just make sure the loaf is even in terms of shape or it may not cook evenly - which is why I suggest using this fabulous bundt pan for guaranteed even cooking results and a lovely ring shape)
• Add the potatoes, chicken broth and garlic cloves to the Instant Pot. Rest the trivet on top of the potatoes and garlic (press it down good so the trivet rests flat) and then rest the bundt pan on top of the trivet. Secure the lid and hit "Manual" or "Pressure Cook" at High Pressure for 35 minutes (NOTE: I did this in a 6qt and it fits absolutely perfectly)
• While the meatloaf's cooking, mix together all the ingredients for the meatloaf glaze in a bowl until well combined. Set aside when done
• Once the Instant Pot has finished cooking, perform a quick release. Pre-heat the oven to 400 degrees while the steam's releasing
• Using some tongs and a dish towel/oven mitt, remove the bundt from the pot. Pour out any excess drippings from the bundt into a hot-oil proof container over the sink, carefully securing the meatloaf in place with a spatula or dish/paper towel so it doesn't slide out (that would be a shame)
• Line a baking sheet with non-stick foil or spray some non-stick cooking spray on regular foil. Place the foil-lined baking sheet over the bundt and, firmly holding them together with your hands protected from the heat, quickly flip upside down. The meatloaf will slide right out of the bundt and onto the foil. (If it breaks apart a little since it's super moist and tender, that's okay and you can easily place it back into formation). Brush the meatloaf glaze all over the meatloaf and pop it into the oven for 5-10 minutes until the glaze caramelizes (I went for 7 minutes). Keep an eye on it as all ovens vary! (NOTE: If you didn't use the bundt pan, just fold the foil sides down around the meatloaf, drain the drippings into a hot-oil proof container over the sink and then place the meatloaf on a baking sheet with the non-stick foil under it)
• While the meatloaf's in the oven, use a potato masher to mash the potatoes to the desired consistency and then add in all the "Potatoes After Mashing" ingredients. Stir until well combined and adjust any seasonings to taste
• Remove the meatloaf from the oven and carefully transfer to a serving dish or cake platter using two spatulas supporting the bottom. Place some of the mashed potatoes in the center of the ring (for presentation) and place the rest in a serving dish
• Enjoy this epic feast!

INSTANT POT® MEATLOAF AND POTATOES

Steps:

• Mix together ground beef, crushed cornflakes, bread crumbs, onion, eggs, garlic powder, parsley, salt, and pepper until well combined. Shape mixture into a loaf.
• Place potatoes evenly around the bottom of a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®). Pour chicken broth over top. Place the Instant Pot® rack over the potatoes.
• Place meatloaf on a small tray that will fit inside the Instant Pot® (or make one out of foil) and place that on the rack. Close and lock the lid. Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 25 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.
• Release pressure carefully using the quick-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, about 5 minutes. Unlock and remove the lid.
