If I were to make this in the oven in a 9×13″ dish, about how long would you say to cook it? 350 degrees for 45 minutes? This looks great! Thank you!
-
Hmmm, Emily, I’m not sure. I’ve never made it in the oven, but it seems that most meatloaf-in-the-oven recipes call for baking at 350 for 1 hour. My two concerns with making this meatloaf in the oven are: 1) You might need to add more liquid to keep it from drying out and 2) You want to make sure the sweet potatoes are well cooked. It’s definitely worth a shot! Let me know how it goes…

THIS IS PERFECTION!!! I made this for dinner and we devoured it! (Actually was hoping for leftovers tomorrow, but…Derek…) It’s packed with flavor despite the very simple ingredient list! We used grass fed beef and yum yum yum! Thanks Kathleen!

Y E S I need a second crockpot..is that what you do regularly to keep up with hungry boy hippos? Going to make this again but freeze after I prep!
-
Hi there, how might you make this in an instant pot? I really want to make it but only have an instant pot now. Thanks
-
I don’t have an IP, Jen, but according to these tips for converting crock pot recipes to instant pot recipes, you can try cooking the meatloaf for 25 minutes. Use the meat/stew button and set the vent to “sealing”. Also add about 1 cup liquid (broth seems best, water may work too). I’d love to hear how it works in your instant pot!
-
Okay thank you so much! Thinking tomorrow I will try it, fingers crossed!

Did you Brown the beef before mixing it in the crock pot? Ours was in nearly 8 hours and still appeared on the pink side!
-
I don’t brown the beef in advance, Lindsey. Are you using a 6-quart oval crock pot?
