Equipment

  • Instant pot pressure cooker

Ingredients
  

  • 1 ½ lb lean ground beef and ground pork
  • 1 large onion grated
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 Beef OXO bouillon cube
  • 1 teaspoon garlic granules
  • 1 tablespoon mixed herbs
  • 1 tablespoon dried parsley
  • 2 medium eggs
  • Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 tablespoon ketchup
  • 1 teaspoon yellow mustard

Meatloaf glaze

  • ⅓ cup ketchup
  • 2 tablespoon brown sugar

Mashed potato ingredients

  • 3 lb potatoes
  • 1 cup vegetable broth or water
  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • ⅓ cup milk
  • ⅓ cup cheddar cheese shredded
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

Prep

  • Grate the onion using the large hole of a box grater (see listed tool above for the exact one I used) Peel and rinse the potatoes and soak in water until you are ready to use. Grate the cheddar cheese using the large hole of the box grater just as you did with the onion and set aside for later.

Make the meatloaf

  • Into a mixing bowl add ground beef, ground pork, breadcrumbs, parsley, mixed herbs, Worcestershire sauce, ketchup, mustard, grated onions then crumble the beef bouillon over it. Lastly, lightly whisk 2 eggs in a separate bowl and pour over the beef content.
  • Mix thoroughly to combine and transfer into a prepared tin then set aside. In the meantime, mix the glaze ingredients together and set aside
  • Add the chopped potatoes to your instant pot, then add 1 cup of vegetable broth. Place a trivet over the potatoes. Place the meatloaf on top of the trivet and spoon some glaze on top of it reserving the rest for later.
  • Lock the instant pot to safety and turn valve to the sealing position. Select the manual or pressure cook button and cook on high pressure for 25 minutes, once the cooking cycle is completed, leave it to do a 10 minutes natural pressure release (a quick release might toughen the meatloaf) and carefully do a quick release.
  • Carefully remove the cake pan from the instant pot, there might be some liquid in the pan, do not fret, you can carefully tip the liquid out or leave it as it is if you would be baking the meatloaf in the oven for caramelised topping. Transfer the meatloaf to a lined baking tray (this can be tricky to do but it is achievable, if you are unable to tip it on the side, use 2 spatulas to get it out)
  • Spoon the remaining glaze over the top of the meatloaf and place in the middle shelf of the oven and bake at 180C/360F for 5 to 10 minutes for caramelised glazed topping. While the meatloaf is baking in the oven, go ahead and make the mashed potatoes

Make mashed potatoes

  • Add butter, milk and shredded cheese to the potatoes and mash using a potato masher until smooth, season with salt and black pepper, give it a good mix and set aside.
  • Bring out the meatloaf from the oven, slice and serve with the creamy mashed potatoes.
