This meatloaf and mashed potatoes takes about an hour to make from start to finish and serves four people.
To make this Instant Pot meatloaf and mashed potatoes, I started by chopping 2.5 lbs of russet potatoes into one inch chunks.
I left the skin on the potatoes but you could peel them if you prefer.
Then I poured some water into the bottom of the Instant Pot and dumped the potato chunks into the pot.
I dumped 2 pounds of lean ground beef into a large mixing bowl.
Then I placed some Ritz crackers into a large Ziploc bag.
I used a rolling pin to crush the crackers and then poured the crumbs on top of the ground beef in the bowl.
I added eggs, milk, dehydrated minced onion, garlic powder, salt and pepper to the bowl with the meat.
Then I used my hands to mix all of the ingredients together really well.
I scooped approximately 2/3 of the meat mixture into a greased 7 inch spring form pan.
I pressed the meat into the bottom of the pan and up the sides.
Then I scooped some Philadelphia Chive Whipped Cream Cheese on top of the meat and spread it out evenly.
I spread some BBQ sauce on top of the cream cheese.
Then I placed the remaining third of the meat mixture on top of the BBQ sauce and spread it out to cover the entire top.
I gently pressed the meat together at the seams around the edges to seal the meatloaf.
I placed a trivet on top of the potatoes in the Instant Pot.
Then I set the spring form pan with the meatloaf on top of the trivet.
I placed the lid on the Instant Pot, turned the steam release handle to the sealing position and set the Instant Pot to Pressure Cook High for 35 minutes.
Once the Instant Pot was done cooking I immediately turned the steam release handle to the venting position and did a quick release.
I removed the spring form pan from the Instant Pot and set it aside to let the meatloaf rest for a few minutes while I prepared the mashed potatoes.
I used a potato masher and mashed the potatoes up a bit.
Then I added some butter, salt, pepper and onion powder to the pot with the potatoes.
I continued mashing the potatoes until smooth.
Then I removed the meatloaf from the pan and sliced it.
This meatloaf is messy and the cream cheese and BBQ sauce will ooze out when you cut it.
