Instant Pot Meatloaf and Potatoes
The Instant Pot meatloaf and potatoes dish is a delightful combination of savory flavors and hearty textures. The meatloaf, seasoned to perfection with a blend of herbs and spices, offers a rich and satisfying taste with every bite.
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds ground beef
- 2.5 pounds potatoes
- 4 oz cheddar cheese, shredded
- 4 oz Pepperjack cheese, shredded
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 3 tablespoons milk
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon dried oregano
- 1/4 cup milk
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 cup water
Instructions
- Start by dicing the potatoes and placing them in the Instant Pot along with 1 cup of water.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, eggs, breadcrumbs, 3 tablespoons of milk, and the specified seasonings. Add in the 4 ounces of shredded cheddar cheese and mix well.
- Lay out a sheet of waxed paper and spread the meat mixture evenly over it. Cut the cheddar cheese and Pepperjack cheese lengthwise, then place them in the center of the meat mixture.
- Roll the meat so that the cheese is enclosed in the center. If the meatloaf ends up too long, consider dividing it into two smaller loaves and placing them side by side.
- Next, create a bowl-shaped foil wrap and carefully place the meatloaf on top of the potatoes in the Instant Pot.
- Set the Instant Pot to manual high pressure and cook for 35 minutes. Once done, perform a quick release and carefully remove the foil with the meatloaf.
- While the meatloaf is cooking, prepare the mashed potatoes by mashing them with 1/4 cup of milk and 2 tablespoons of butter until smooth and creamy.
- Serve the meatloaf alongside the mashed potatoes, and enjoy this delicious meal with your loved ones!

Your recipes are awesome.. I can’t wait to try them all
I would definitely would love to try the One Pot instant pot Mashed Potatoes and Cheeseburger Meatloaf. I think it is a great plate, of which it’s on my menu later in the week.
Thank you for this delicious recipe. I made it tonight and it is a keeper for sure.
Glad you liked it 😉
I made the cheeseburger and mashed potatoes tonight but after 35 minutes the meat wasn’t done – not sure why. We put it on for another 10 minutes on high but still wasn’t done – we ended up microwaving it. Any ideas on why it didn’t get done? Thank you.
wow I have actually made this a few times and never needed more than the 35 minutes 🙁 I am so sorry
This is my first recipe using the instant pot. This may be a dumb question… 35 minutes from the time I put it in the pot or 35 minutes from the time it builds up pressure? The latter, right? Can’t wait to eat it!!
You type in 35 minutes. It’ll build to pressure and then begin the countdown on its own once it reaches full pressure.
Is it really over 1100 cals!
I was going to ask the same thing! Are those numbers based on eating the entire pot’s worth or one serving??
Hi This looks great, but i am confused. In the description it says that the meatloaf is stuffed with the mashed potatoes, but in the directions it says you are cooking the meatloaf on top of the diced potatoes at the same time and then serving mashed potatoes on the side? Am i missing something?
