PREP

For meatloaf, in a large bowl whisk together eggs, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, garlic, salt, thyme, and pepper. Stir in onion, celery, and bread crumbs. Add beef and pork; mix well. On an 18×12-inch piece of heavy foil shape meat mixture into an 8-inch-long loaf in the center of the foil. Wrap foil up around mixture to completely enclose the loaf. Poke several holes in the foil on top of the foil to allow steam to escape. Set aside.

For mashed potatoes, add potatoes, the water, and ½ teaspoon salt to the Instant Pot®. Set wrapped meatloaf on top of potatoes in pot. Secure the lid on the pot. Close the pressure-release valve.

COOK

Select manual and cook at high pressure for 30 minutes. When cooking is complete, use a natural release to depressurize.

SERVE

Remove the lid; carefully remove meatloaf from the pot. Unwrap meatloaf and place in a 2-quart shallow broilerproof gratin dish or baking dish. Make the Sweet & Tangy Topper* and spread it evenly over the whole surface.

Broil the meatloaf 8 inches from the heat for 5 to 6 minutes or until topper is heated through and just starting to bubble.

Meanwhile, drain off most of the liquid from potatoes in the pot. Add milk and butter to potatoes in pot. Use a potato masher to mash potatoes to desired texture. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Slice meatloaf crosswise and serve with potatoes.

*Sweet & Tangy Topper: In a small bowl whisk together ½ cup ketchup, 1 to 2 tablespoons packed brown sugar, and 2 to 3 teaspoons spicy brown mustard.
