If you know me at all then you know I’m the LAST person who wants to spend hours in a kitchen cooking. I have one special dish my family looks forward to me making, and I have found a way to make the cooking timeless and the clean up even easier! I now make Quick Cooker Meatloaf and Homemade Mashed Potatoes using the Pampered Chef Quick Cooker.
How to Make Quick Cooker Meatloaf
Quick Cooker Meatloaf
Ingredients
Equipment
Notes
Mix all ingredients well using your hands preferably. Please note the number of spices may be less or more depending on your taste. I honestly don’t measure it when I put it in so I’m guessing the amounts I typically use.
Then you take two pieces of aluminum foil and spread it out and spray it with Pam spray. Then take the meatloaf and form a small tight ball. Wrap it in foil.
Place your half of a bag of peeled potatoes on the bottom of the cooker with one cup of water. Then add a metal rack. Place your meatloaf on top of the rack.
Then turn your cooker on. Select custom time and set it for 45 minutes.
When it’s done, release the pressure manually. Then take meatloaf in aluminum foil and place it into a broil safe pan. Add the coating on top of it. Place in oven on high broil for 7-10 minutes.
While that is cooking make the homemade mashed potatoes by adding a stick of butter and a couple of tablespoons of milk, using a mixer.
We have used the Pampered Chef Quick Cooker almost every day since I got the first one. Since it was only a few dollars more to get the Ultimate Kit that included another Quick Cooker, I became a Pampered Chef Independent Consultant. I was one in 2004-2005 LONG before I became active on the Internet. I did well with it then, and I have always been a hermit crab. I have decided to take the chance on doing it again.
Now that I can make homemade meals from home with plenty of quick and easy recipes, we have definitely put more money in our pockets! By using the cooker, the clean up is done in no time at all.
What are some foods you like to make in an instant pot/pressure cooker?
oh yes!love this recipe!
especially love the video.
thank you for sharing!
Thank you. I was so nervous making this video, and that slap on my leg drives me totally nuts when I watch it. However, I couldn’t redo the video. As you can see, it was hard enough getting that one done. 🙂

I’ve been looking for some easy recipes to make at home without all of the extra work/ingredients. This one is so helpful. Thank you for sharing – Josie xxx

This looks absolutely delicious! I didn’t think of making meatloaf in a quick cooker
Honestly, I didn’t either till I went on the hunt for meals to use in my Quick Cooker. I have tried various recipes now, but this is still our favorite.

I found it to be TOOO salty. I followed the recipe but I used ground turkey instead, so Im not sure if that makes a difference.
I appreciate your feedback. I doubt seriously if you using turkey versus hamburger would have made that much of a difference. But in my experience, ground turkey has no flavor so it coming out to salty is quite interesting. But the good news is you can adjust the salt amount to your liking.

I think you meant to put teaspoon, not tablespoon for the salt. It was probably the saltiest thing I’ve made but the flavor was good. Next time I’ll probably at least half the salt, maybe more.
Thank you for pointing this out to me!! I have updated it. Like I stated, I really don’t measure the stuff. 🙁

Hi. Can I use the ceramic insert for the meatloaf instead of fo?
You can, but definitely make sure that you make it smaller.

I haven’t made meatloaf in ages! My grocery store is always out of 93% ground beef. Next time I can get this, I want to try it, and the mashed potatoes, too.
It is getting hard to find 93% lean hamburger for sure. I hope you get the chance to find it soon.

I’m totally intimidated by my pressure cooker. I’ve had it for some time now and haven’t tried it. Hope to work up the patience and courage to learn how to use it soon.
