Hey, you. Yeah, you! Did you know that you can make meatloaf in the instant pot? Well you absolutely can! I took one of my favorite meatloaf recipes that I already make in the instant pot and turned it into mini individual meatloaves. One of my favorite things about these meatloaves is that they are perfectly portioned and loaded up with sneaky hidden veggies!

Another thing that I like about these meatloaves is that they are great for making ahead as a meal prep for the week or for lunches! They also freeze and either reheat or cook up pretty well when you’re ready to enjoy them.

These mini meatloaves cook up in just 20 minutes in the instant pot and it gives you a whole 14 mini meatloaves! And if you have two per serving, that gives you 7 servings of tasty meatloaf goodness that everyone is sure to enjoy; kids and adults alike!

I served mine with a side of homemade mashed potatoes and some steamed peas.
