Ingredients

Mashed Potatoes

  • 4 med/lg Russet Potatoes peeled
  • 1 cup Chicken Broth I use water with 1 tsp Better than Bouillon
  • 3 tbsp Butter to taste
  • 1/4-1/2 cup Milk or Half and Half to taste
  • Salt and Pepper to taste

Meatloaf Cupcakes

  • 1 lb Ground Beef at least 80/20
  • 1 tbsp Minced Garlic
  • 1/4 cup Milk
  • 1/3 cup Panko bread crumbs
  • 1 tbsp Dried onion flakes (or fresh)
  • 1 tsp Dijon Mustard
  • 1 tbsp Soy Sauce
  • 1 Egg
  • 1/4 tsp Crushed Red Pepper Flakes

Teriyaki Glaze

  • 1/2 cup Ketchup
  • 1/2 cup Brown Sugar
  • 1/4 cup Soy Sauce
  • 1/2-1 tsp Sriracha hot sauce optional
  • 1/4 tsp Crushed Red Pepper Flakes
  • 1 tsp Minced Garlic

Instructions

  • Wash and Peel potatoes, then dice into large chunks. Add them to the Instant Pot liner with 1 cup chicken broth.
  • Gently mix together all the meatloaf ingredients and divide between 7-8 silicone muffin liners (or one small loaf pan/cake pan/aluminum foil bowl that fits inside the Instant Pot).
  • Place a trivet, silicone pressure cooking sling, or rack on top of the potatoes and place the meatloafs on top. 
  • Lock the lid, turn the knob to sealing, and cook on manual high pressure for 12 minutes. Allow a 5 minute natural pressure release, then a quick release to release any remaining pressure.
  • While pressure cooking, prepare the teriyaki glaze by combining all ingredients in a small pot on the stove. Bring the sauce to a boil, then simmer for about 5 minutes, or until thick. Add additional brown sugar if it's not sweet enough for your taste.
  • Carefully remove the meatloaf from the pot, and carefully drain any liquid out of the liners into a heatproof, greaseproof container in the sink. Cover each meatloaf with about a tablespoon of teriyaki glaze.
  • Add butter, milk, salt, and pepper to taste to the Instant Pot potatoes, then mash with a potato masher or whip with a hand mixer. Pipe or spoon the potatoes on top of the meatloaf. Broil in the oven for a couple of minutes to brown the potatoes, if desired. Serve with additional potatoes, sauce, and green vegetable of your choice!
