What you need:

1 egg, beaten

1/2 onion diced, 3-4 garlic cloves minced

1/2 cup pizza sauce(Tomato sauce with Italian Seasoning works)

1/4 cup seasoned bread crumbs

1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning

1 1/2 lbs ground beef

1 1/2 cups part-skim mozzarella cheese block cut into small chunks

additional pizza sauce (optional)

You need a bread pan or something that size, spray lightly with some Olive oil spray

Heat oven to 375 degrees

How to make it:

In a bowl, combine the egg, pizza sauce, onions, garlic, bread crumbs & Italian seasoning.

Fold beef into mixture and mix well

Put half of the mixture into loaf pan spread smoothly in bottom,  fill center with cheese chunks

pressed slightly into meat mixture, top with the rest of the mixture smooth evenly in pan. I put a few

more chunks on top. The last 10 minutes I top with the rest of the sauce and continue baking.

Bake at 375°F for 30-40 minutes or until meat is no longer pink.

Serve immediately with additional pizza sauce and cheese if desired.

Instant Pot Meatloaf & Mashed Potatoes

Delicious Meatloaf and Potatoes all in your Instant Pot, amazing, easy peazy too
Serves 3-4

Ingredients for Meatloaf
2 pounds ground beef
1 egg
1 cup Italian breadcrumbs
1/3 cup ketchup or BBQ sauce
splash of Worcestershire
2 tablespoons minced garlic, fresh
2 tablespoons dried minced onion or 1/2 cup finely minced onion
2 teaspoons dried parsley
extra ketchup or BBQ sauce for topping, if desired

Ingredients for Potatoes
2 lbs. potatoes, chopped (I used Yukon Gold potatoes with skins left on)
1/2 cup half and half cream
1/2 cup or more chicken broth
2 tablespoons butter
Salt & Pepper to taste

Directions:
Mix ingredients for meatloaf in a large bowl.
Transfer to a disposable foil loaf pan or make your own loaf shaped pan out of tin foil.
Cut potatoes into smaller pieces and place at the bottom of Instant Pot. Arranged them in an even layer. Add 1 cup broth or water over potatoes.
Place the rack that comes with your Instant Pot over potatoes and set the meatloaf on top. (I had to squish the pan a little for it to fit, but that’s fine.) The rack will make it easy for you to take loaf out when it’s done.
Secure lid and set at Manual (high pressure) cook time to 25 minutes. Make sure steam release is closed.
When finished, do a quick release on the pressure.
Top with a little additional ketchup and place under the oven’s broiler for a few minutes to caramelize. (Optional, but yummy step!)
Meanwhile to make potatoes, mash them in the Instant Pot with half & half, broth, butter, salt, and pepper until creamy.

This version has cheese added in the meatloaf

Make it easy, wash potatoes and leave skins on
