Add potatoes to Instant Pot. Add the potatoes to the bottom of the instant pot. Place the wire rack on top and add 1 cup of water. Set aside.
5 medium potatoes, peeled and diced, 1 cup water
Combine the ingredients. In a large mixing bowl, combine the beef, pork, onion, red pepper, crackers, milk, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, sage, and salt. Using clean hands, mix well.
1 pound lean ground beef, 1 pound ground pork sausage, 1 small onion, minced, 1 small red pepper, diced, 1/2 cup crushed gluten-free crackers or breadcrumbs, 1/2 cup milk, 1/4 cup ketchup, plus additional for topping, 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce, 1/2 teaspoon dried sage, 1/2 teaspoon salt
⭐️Form the meatloaf and place it into the instant pot. Stack 2 large pieces of tin foil on top of each other and place the meat mixture in the center. Form the foil around the meat into a small rectangle shape. Place the formed meatloaf in the tinfoil onto the wire rack in the instant pot. Place the lid on and turn to seal.

Mashed Potatoes
⭐️Remove the potatoes and mash. While the meatloaf is baking, make the mashed potatoes. Drain the liquid from the potatoes and add them to a medium-sized bowl. Add about 1/4 cup of milk and 1-2 tablespoons of butter, along with salt to taste, adding additional milk to get to your preferred consistancy.
1/2 cup milk, extra butter and milk, optional
Notes
Ground Meat - you can use any ground meat such as turkey, chicken, pork or beef for meatloaf. Our recipe uses half lean ground beef and half ground pork, which can easily be substituted for 100% ground beef or pork.Make Ahead - follow the step-by-step instructions to make the meatloaf formed into the tinfoil. Then, wrap in plastic wrap and store in the fridge until the next day. When ready to cook, prep the potatoes on the bottom of the instant pot, remove the plastic wrap and place the meatloaf in the tinfoil on the wire rack in the instant pot.
