Instant Pot Meatloaf is comfort food at its finest! Using an egg bite mold, pan or foil… the possibilities are endless!
Making it in the Instant Pot makes it even easier. Simple, tasty and ready to put on the table within the hour. Meatloaf is a traditional meal that many have grown up eating. It is a comfort food that we love. Mashed potatoes and sweet potatoes are a favorite side dish to go with it. We loved how moist this loaf turned out in the pressure cooker. The steam helps it cook while preventing it from drying out.
Since this is a favorite, we have tried it three different ways and love all the ways depending on what we are going for. The traditional meatloaf is easy and I just used a foil boat and a steamer basket. If you want a side or small meal, mini meatloaves in the egg bite mold are so fun. Lastly, if you have a push pan, this is an easy way to make a meatloaf because you just push it right out and can cut it up in triangles like a pizza and serve with your favorite sides.
How to make Instant Pot Meatloaf
- Mix together your ingredients except for the extra ketchup topping and water.
- Make a loaf mold and place onto aluminum foil. Fold into a boat shape so that all sides of the aluminum are above the meat.
- Top loaf with ketchup.
- Pour water into the Instant Pot. Place a trivet into the Instant Pot and place the meatloaf on top of the trivet.
- Pressure cook for 30 minutes with a 15 minute natural release. If desired, place the loaf on a cookie sheet and broil for 1-2 minutes to crisp up the edges.
- You could also use a push pan instead of aluminum foil. Everything else is the same, just form it into the push pan.
The Fat Daddio pans are my favorite. Push pans are great for the Instant Pot especially for desserts like cheesecake or even meatloaf or lasagna. So many possibilities and easy cleanup. You will sit it on a trivet, put water in the bottom and your meal is all in the push pan. If you are like me, cleanup matters and the less the better.

Need an egg bite mold? I recommend one with a silicone lid so that you can use it in the Instant Pot. Below you will find a set of two with a silicone sling. These are great quality and perfect for a 6 or 8qt Instant Pot.
