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?
