Make this delicious recipe for instant pot meatloaf with potatoes and carrots for dinner tonight! The meatloaf is made perfectly with a blend of ground beef and spicy Italian Sausage while the potatoes and carrots cook at the same time in the same pot.

Today’s recipe for Instant Pot Meatloaf with Potatoes and Carrots is adapted from my very favorite meatloaf recipe. It’s a recipe I’ve mentioned several times over the time I’ve had this blog – including my very first blog post. This recipe for instant pot meatloaf features the pot-in-pot method. The baby carrots and baby potatoes are cooked on the bottom, while the meatloaf is cooked on top of a trivet and inside a steamer basket. (This post contains affiliate links.)

I know it sounds complicated, but it’s really quite easy (and awesome that you can make all of this in one pot). Yay for less dirty dishes (and less work)!

Start by sauteing the veggies in your instant pot on Saute.

Cover and let cook until the carrots are soft. Mix in ketchup, Worcestershire, and seasonings. Remove the cooked vegetables and set aside. Pour in 1 cup of chicken broth and deglaze the bottom (scrape all of the brown bits from the bottom). This does two things. Anything stuck to the bottom of the inner pot within the instant pot could prevent it from coming to pressure. Plus those little brown bits will add tons of flavor to your potatoes and carrots.

Turn your instant pot off. Place the carrots and potatoes in the inner pot with the chicken broth.

Place a tall trivet into the pot (this is the one I used) and top with a steamer basket, making sure the center piece has been unscrewed and removed (this is the steamer basket I used).

Mix together your meatloaf ingredients in a medium bowl.

Form your meatloaf into a round loaf inside a large piece of foil. Place into the steamer basket within the instant pot. Cook on high pressure for 35 minutes.

Enjoy your delicious and comforting meatloaf and these yummy fork-tender potatoes and carrots.
