This is a great meal with meatloaf, potatoes and carrots. A one pot, good tasting meal, ready in 10 minutes!
YOU MUST HAVE AT LEAST A 6 QUART PRESSURE COOKER TO MAKE THIS !!
Cooking spray or oil for preparing the steaming basket
2 large eggs
1-1/2 pounds meatloaf mix or 8 oz. each ground beef, veal, and pork OR ALL ground chuck.*** Do not use very lean meat. It will result in a dry loaf.***
1 cup finely chopped onion
1/2 cup finely chopped flat leaf parsley (fresh) OR 1/4 cup dried parsley flakes
3/4 cups rolled oats (old fashioned or quick cooking)
1/2 cup catsup or chili sauce plus 1 or 2 tblsp. to coat the top of the meatloaf
1 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. garlic powder or granulated garlic
freshly ground pepper to taste
2 eggs beaten
5 long carrots, peeled or scrubbed
3 lbs. russet potatoes, peeled or scrubbed, cut into 1 inch chunks
1-1/2 loosely packed cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese (if making cheese potatoes)
1/2 cup milk or more to taste if mashing potatoes
Salt & freshly ground pepper (for potatoes)
Coat the bottom and sides of the steaming basket lightly with cooking spray.
Beat eggs in a large bowl. Add the ground meat, onions, parsley, oats, garlic, catsup, salt and pepper to taste. Mix with hands until blended. The mixture will be fairly moist.
Transfer the mixture to the steaming basket in a uniform shape (work around the center lifting post if there is one. Put a thin coat of catsup on top of the meatloaf.
Pour 2 cups of water into the pressure cooker and dump in the cubed potatoes. Nestle in the steaming basket with the meatloaf in it. Place 5 long carrots, 1 pat of butter and 2 tblsp. brown sugar in aluminum foil. Wrap the foil tightly being careful not to tear the foil, around the carrots and nestle on one side of the meatloaf.
Lock the lid in place, make certain the pressure knob is closed. Set the timer to 15 psi or high for 10 minutes. When time is up, quick release the pressure and test the meatloaf. It MUST read at least 155 degrees (done) If under 155, remove the potatoes and carrots, set aside to keep warm. Put the steam basket back in the cooker to steam, with lid on but not locked and NOT on pressure. Test for doneness again after 5 minutes. When done, let it rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!! ***avoid very lean meat as it will produce a dry loaf.
