1 teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon black pepper
½ teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

Is there a better combination than meat and potatoes?! Especially when you can cook them together!
How Do You Make Meatloaf in an Instant Pot?
I was trying to find ground beef recipes for my Instant Pot (because that little gem makes my life SO much easier). This is hands down the best meatloaf recipe that I have ever made.
It’s a bonus that meatloaf includes just about every food group, so I know my family is getting a nutritious and hearty dinner.
Step 1
Place baby potatoes, chopped onion and chicken broth in the bottom of an Instant Pot.
Sprinkle seasoned salt over the top.
Be sure to use a mixing bowl that’s big enough for stirring and kneading the meat and ingredients.
Step 2
Combine all the meatloaf ingredients in a large bowl and mix together. Form into a loaf
that will fit into your Instant Pot.
Combine seasonings with the meat.
Step 3
Using a sheet of foil form a pan to cook the meatloaf.
Add foil between the meat and potatoes.
Step 4
Place the meatloaf on the trivet and add on top of the potatoes.
Step 5
Add meatloaf on top of trivet.
Use foil to catch the grease when you cook the beef in your Instant Pot.
Step 6
Cook on high pressure for 25 minutes with a 10 minute natural release.
Step 7
After the 10 minute natural release, manually release any remaining pressure.
Be careful removing the meat from the Instant Pot, the grease is super hot!
Step 8
Remove the lid and move the meatloaf to a cutting board and allow to rest for 10 minutes.
The best part of meatloaf is the glaze! Make your own with ketchup and dry mustard, or use barbecue sauce!
Step 9
Glaze meatloaf with ketchup and serve with the potatoes.
If you freeze your meatloaf, make sure you seal it well in an airtight container.
Can I Freeze Instant Pot Meatloaf?
Yes! You can make this ahead and meal prep your Instant Pot meatloaf for the the week. Just make sure you store it in an airtight container.
Double check the labels on your ingredients to ensure that your meatloaf is gluten free.
Is Meatloaf Gluten Free?
You can easily make gluten free meatloaf! Just use gluten-free breadcrumbs, and double check that your Worcestershire sauce is gluten free, too.
If you are cooking for someone who has a gluten sensitivity, allergy, or Celiac disease, double check all labels, to be sure they are gluten free.
Use ground turkey for a healthier version of instant pot meatloaf!
Instant Pot Turkey Meatloaf Recipe
If you’re trying to cut out red meat, try making this recipe with ground turkey, instead! It’s just as delicious and a bit healthier.
It’s so easy (and delicious!) to whip up a vegan meatloaf!
How Do You Make Vegan Meatloaf
There are so many yummy plant-based “ground beef” products at the market right now! They come in a package that looks just like a package of ground beef. You can use that, in place of the beef in this recipe, and use an egg replacer instead of eggs. Use a vegan chicken broth, or a vegetable broth, instead of the chicken broth listed in this recipe.
Yield: Serves 2-4
Nothing hits the spot on a cold night like a piece of meatloaf with a side of yummy potatoes!
