Instructions

Add saltines, milk, parsley, egg, onion powder, garlic powder, Dijon, Worcestershire, salt, pepper and meat to a bowl. Mix well with clean or gloved hands.
Spray egg bite mold with non stick spray. Scoop mixture into egg bite mold cups*. You’ll use about 1/3 cup of mixture for each cup. It will overflow a little bit.
Loosely cover the mold with foil. Pour 1 ½ cups water in the bottom of Instant Pot liner. Place mold on a trivet* and lower into the pot.
Cover the Instant Pot and secure the lid. Make sure valve is set to sealing. Set the manual/pressure cook button to 35 minutes. When time is up move valve to venting. Remove the lid.
Remove the trivet and mold.
Stir the ketchup and vinegar together. Spoon a little over the top of each mini meatloaf. Then place pan under your oven’s broiler for 3 minutes.
Serve and enjoy!

Notes

Recipe adapted from Mel’s Kitchen Cafe

You can make baked potatoes at the same time. Place washed potatoes of the same shape and size in a single layer on the trivet. Then place the mold on top of the potatoes. Lower into the pot and cook according to the recipe above.

Slow cooker instructions: Combine the ingredients. Form the meatloaf into the shape of a loaf pan that fits inside your slow cooker. Place the pan in the bottom of your slow cooker. Cover and cook on HIGH for 4 hours. Carefully remove the meatloaf. The meatloaf may not look done and bit watery on top. The broiler step helps this immensely. If you’re worried about doneness use a thermometer to make sure the middle of the meatloaf is 160 degrees F. Place pan under the broiler for about one minute to dry out the meatloaf a bit. Then baste it with the glaze and put it under the broiler for another minute.
