One Pot Instant Pot Meatloaf, Mashed Potatoes, and Gravy

April 9, 2018 by predominantlypaleo 40 Comments

 

One Pot Instant Pot Meatloaf, Mashed Potatoes, and Gravy may win the award for longest title ever, but that’s not all! You’ll love the simplicity of this meal as well as the inclusivity, ALL IN ONE POT!!

One Pot Instant Pot Meatloaf, Mashed Potatoes, and Gravy


Here’s the bottom line: I married a Midwesterner and while I give him props for his adoration of fruits and veggies; ultimately he loves his meat and potatoes. And he’s not alone. As a Texas girl, I do too! So between the two of us, guess what we created? You guessed it – 3 meat and potato loving kids. 

I’m all for it and quite frankly, I’m grateful that I have an omnivorous family who doesn’t demand pizza and chicken nuggets. Call me the meanest Mom ever but dinner = what I serve. You don’t have to love it, or even eat it, but it’s the only option up in hurrr. 

One Pot Instant Pot Meatloaf, Mashed Potatoes, and Gravy

Ok reeling back in from that tangent…

We love meat and potatoes. All of us. Any dang day. And so dinner usually looks like that for us, with some spinach leaves or Brussels sprouts thrown in for good measure. It’s how we do supper and call us basic if you will, but we dig it. 

With this one pot wonder, you’ll throw errthang into that Instant Pot and when you take the lid off, you have a fully prepared meal. Ok not quite, you have to do a few more steps, but seriously, it doesn’t get much simpler. Stack those ingredients up, cook em, and a couple steps later you are serving dinner with minimal effort, my favorite method!

Ingredients

Scale

For the Meatloaf:

  • 2 pounds ground beef
  • 2 tablespoons gluten free Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 tablespoons tapioca starch or cassava flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 tablespoon dried parsley
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

For the Potatoes/Gravy:

  • 2 pounds peeled (or partially peeled) Yukon Gold potatoes
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 1/2 cup ghee or avocado oil, divided
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt, divided
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2  cup dairy free milk

Instructions

  1. Start by combining all of your meatloaf ingredients in a mixing bowl. Mix by hand and then form into a loaf.
  2. Now wrap the uncooked meatloaf into a sheet of foil and set it aside.
  3. Now pour in the beef broth, 1/2 teaspoon sea salt, 1/4 cup ghee/oil, onion powder, garlic powder and place all the potatoes into the stainless steel bowl of your Instant Pot.
  4. Next, lower in the trivet that your IP came with directly on top of the potatoes. Place your foil-wrapped meatloaf on top of the trivet and secure the lid.
  5. Press the Pressure Cook/Manual button and then use the +/- buttons to adjust the time until it reads 35 minutes on high pressure.
  6. Allow the cooking cycle to complete and then quick release the pressure valve, removing the lid once safe to do so.
  7. Carefully remove the hot foiled meatloaf and set aside. Now remove approximately 1.5 pounds of the potatoes, leaving behind around 10 ounces of potatoes in the broth (slightly more than a cup left behind)
  8. In a mixing bowl, mash the 1.5 pounds of potatoes with the cup of dairy free milk, remaining 1/4 cup of ghee/oil, and  salt. You can do this with a potato masher or with an immersion blender if you prefer creamier mashed potatoes.
  9. Now blend the broth and potato left behind in the IP bowl with either a vertical blender or your immersion blender until a gravy consistency results.
  10. Slice the meatloaf and serve over mashed potatoes with ladled gravy. Perfect with my Brussels sprouts recipe from Paleo Kids Cookbook!

    I’ve been skeptical about making meatloaf in the IP, but I trust Jen’s recipes so decided to try it and it worked perfectly!
    I did a few embellishments (for what I had in hand):
    I used half beef, half pork and added some sauteed onion, mushrooms, bell peppers and garlic to the loaf. For the gravy step, I labeled out about a cup of broth with some potato into my immersion flask and mashed the remains in the IP pot (skipped the milk).
    I was very skeptical about no egg in the loaf and almost added one but decided I better try it as written and I’m so glad I did. It’s perfectly moist and the wanna be Top Chef judge husband completely approved!
    Thanks!

    Could you use maybe Hannah yams instead of the Yukon gold potatoes?

      Sure! Your gravy will have a sweet undertone just so you know in advance!

        I did it with sweet potatoes and it was amazing!!! there was a lot of broth so i just drained off all broth. I pureed about a cup of broth with a big chunk of sweet potato (for the gravy – yum!) and pureed the rest of the potatoes in a bowl.
        The meatloaf was delicious as is. Next time I will add some finely chopped mushrooms and onion for fun!
        I will definitely make again!

    can you wrap the meatloaf in parchment paper instead of foil?

      You could try, just make sure it can be wrapped tight and won’t come apart.

    Do you think you could do this in one of those stackable instant pot things? They have them on Amazon and I’ve been thinking of getting one.

    Any ideas on an alternative to worcestershire sauce since it has soy as an ingredient?

    Would there be any chance in cooking time or anything, if I used white sweet potatoes? I’m new to instant pot cooking and don’t want to ruin the recipe.

    Tried this recipe for the first time today. I wanted to point out that while the ingredients list 1/2 cup of milk for the potatoes, the directions (step 8) state to mash the potatoes with “the cup” of milk. Being in a bit of a rush, I didn’t think through it or double check the ingredients, so ended up with a thick potato soup.

    For that reason I won’t rate the recipe just yet. Definitely a quick and otherwise simple meal to throw together! Flavors seemed really good. Look forward to trying it again.

    This is so good! Cooking the potatoes in the seasoned broth is genius! I used chicken broth because I didn’t have beef broth and I did put sour cream in them because that’s what I do when I make mashed potatoes. Lol. The meatloaf is very tasty as well. I added sautéed onions to mine. This will be in regular rotation around our house!

About

Jennifer is a wife and mother of 3 in pursuit of better health for her family.
After being gluten free for 4 years, and having a multitude of chronic health issues, she realized there was still too much processed “food” in her pantry and change was needed. Jennifer began feeding her family more meals from WHOLE foods and less from boxes. Her recipes are predominantly paleo, meaning they are free of grain, gluten, dairy, and refined sugar, but make allowances for a few treats and sweets. She believes food can be medicine when used appropriately and that a few changes now can equate to huge benefits later. Healthy food does not need to be flavorless and void of personality, which she aims to accomplish through her many recipes.
