What you Need:

1.5 Pound Beef Roast cut into 1 inch pieces
1 Tbsp Butter
1/2 Onion diced
4-5 garlic cloves minced
3 cups beef broth
2 Bay Leaves
1/2 tsp Dried Thyme Leaves or 2 tsp fresh
1/2 tsp Salt
1 tsp Pepper
1 Tbsp Cornstarch
1/4 cup Cold Water
12 oz Extra Wide Egg Noodles

How to Make it:

Heat a large skillet over medium heat.  Add in the butter and onion, and sauté until the onion is translucent (3-4 minutes). Next add garlic cook another 3 minutes.

Add in the beef and brown the beef in the skillet with the onions (8-10 minutes) over medium heat.

Then pour 2 cups of the beef broth into the skillet and add in the seasoning.  Stir to combine and bring the mixture to a boil.  Reduce the heat, cover and simmer for 20-30 minutes until the beef is tender. Watch closely and slowly add in the last cup of the beef broth as the broth starts to cook off.

Mix the cornstarch into the ¼ cup cold water in a separate bowl.  Stir this mixture into the skillet mixture and allow this to cook for 10 minutes or until the sauce has thickened.

While the sauce is thickening, cook the egg noodles in a separate pot based on the package instructions.

Serve the beef mixture over the egg noodles and enjoy!

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
