Skinny Meatloaf & Mash (Instant Pot Dinner)
A one pot meal, in the Instant Pot, for under 350 calories? Yep! You got it dude. This lightened-up meatloaf AND mash is made in the Instant Pot in just 25 minutes. And you know what? I think I may just stick to cooking my meatloaf in the Instant Pot from this day forward. It’s quick and easy to do, plus it locks in all the moisture and juices so you don’t run the risk of ending up with a dried out meatloaf for dinner!
The mash and the meatloaf are both cooked in the Instant Pot together at the same time. Leaving you with a pretty hands-off dinner that everyone is sure to enjoy.
I’m calling this ‘mash’ because it’s not JUST mashed potatoes. I lightened them up by adding in a whole head of cauliflower. Trust me when I say that you likely won’t even notice. The cauliflower takes on the same flavors and texture that come along with the mashed potatoes. I used some plain fat-free greek yogurt and reduced-fat milk to fluff those potatoes and cauliflower up too.
Feel free to sub in any kind of ‘sauce’ for the tomato sauce too. BBQ sauce is a really good alternative to give your meatloaf a more smoky flavor.
I served my Skinny Meatloaf & Mash with a side of steamed green beans and had no complaints at the dinner table. Traditional comfort food with a healthified twist that you don’t have to feel guilty about. And for under 350 calories in a slice of meatloaf AND some good mash? It’s a win-win!
