  • Place Ground beef or turkey into a large bowl and add all ingredients for meatloaf into bowl
  • Mix with hands (If mixture looks too wet add more oats, if it looks too dry add another egg)
  • Place meatloaf mixture on aluminum foil and fold aluminum foil up on each side and shape your meatloaf how you like OR place in egg molds (This recipe yields two molds worth)
  • Place meatloaf on trivet and place lid on instant pot making sure valve is sealed
  • Push manual or pressure cook and set time to 30 minutes.
  • Let it naturally release for 10 minutes then let out rest of pressure

  • Optional: You can put extra ketchup on the top of the meatloaf and place the meatloaf into a pan (pop out of molds if using and place onto a pan) and place in broiler for a few minutes but Keep an eye on it because it doesn't take long.

Time to make your mashed potatoes!

  • Add your butter, sour cream (or Greek yogurt), salt and pepper to your potatoes and mix In the Instant pot! No need to dirty up another dish. Add milk a small amount at a time (if they are too dry add more milk)
  • Slice meatloaf (or pop out of molds) and serve!

Notes

You can use Green peppers as well with this recipe we have used them almost every time. Just dice them up and place them in the meatloaf mixture with all the other ingredients. To make this Weight Watchers friendly swap out the sour cream with 0% Greek yogurt, Make sure your broth is low sodium, use sugar free ketchup, use skim milk instead of 2%, use whipped butter instead of stick, either use ground turkey or 93% and above ground beef.
