Instant Pot Bacon Mini Meatloaf
One of the things I love about Instant Pot silicone egg bite mold recipes is how they make perfect individual portions. This Instant Pot mini meatloaf recipe makes 7 or 8 mini meatloaves (depending on the size of your mold), which easily serves 4 people. Because I love any excuse to eat bacon, these Instant Pot mini meatloaves includes bacon, however if you don’t have any, the recipe works out just fine without it.

Ingredients
Instructions
  1. In a medium-sized bowl mix together the ground beef, bacon bits, breadcrumbs, egg, minced onion, salt, pepper, and garlic powder until the ingredients are thoroughly mixed together.
  2. Divide the meat mixture evenly into the cups of a silicone egg bite mold (the mixture may overflow the cups a little; this is OK, just mound the extra meat on the top of each mini meatloaf). Cover the mold loosely with foil.
  3. Pour the water into the pressure cooker pot and place a steamer rack trivet in the bottom. Place the egg bites mold on top of the trivet.
  4. Close and lock the pressure cooker lid, make sure the pressure/steam release switch is set to sealing, and set the cooking time to 35 minutes at high/normal pressure. It will take about 6 minutes for the pot to come to pressure before the cooking time begins.
  5. After the pressure cooking time ends release the pressure using the manufacturer’s quick release method. Open the pressure cooker lid and carefully remove the silicone mold from the pot to cool on the counter for a few minutes.
  6. Preheat your oven’s broiler. In a small bowl, mix the tomato sauce, oregano, and seasoning salt together.
  7. Remove the mini meatloaves from the mold and place them standing up in a single layer in a small baking dish. Spoon some of the tomato sauce on top of each of the mini meatloaves.
  8. Place the baking dish under the broiler until the sauce is set, about 3 minutes.
Recipe Notes

Ingredient notes: you can also use diced real onion and make fresh bacon and chop it, but for shortcuts I use dry minced onion and the real bacon bits from a pouch (the fresh, soft kind; not the hard, dehydrated kind in the bottle).
