Equipment
- Instant Pot (6qt or 8 qt)
- 2 small Instant Pot Mini Bread Pans (or large pan that fits easily inside the Instant Pot)
- A silicone sling (or aluminum foil sling)
- Aluminum Foil
Ingredients
Meatloaf Mixture
- 1 1/2 lb Ground Beef
- 1/2 cup Almond Flour or leftover 5 Ingredient Biscuits crumbled
- 1 tsp Onion Powder
- 2 large Eggs
- 1/4 tsp Ground Black Pepper
- 1 tsp Salt or use my Copycat Red Robin Seasoning for more flavor
- 1 Tbsp Worcestershire Sauce
- 1 1/2 cup Shredded Cheddar Cheese
Meatloaf Topping
- 2/3 cup Sugar Free Ketchup
- 1/2 cup Keto Brown Sugar or use my Keto Mock Brown Sugar
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350F. In a large bowl, add your ground beef, almond flour, onion powder, eggs, salt, pepper and Worcestershire sauce. Mix well with a wooden spoon or put on some kitchen gloves and blend well with your hands.1 1/2 lb Ground Beef, 1/2 cup Almond Flour, 1 tsp Onion Powder, 2 large Eggs, 1/4 tsp Ground Black Pepper, 1 tsp Salt, 1 Tbsp Worcestershire Sauce
- Now stir in or mix in the shredded cheese very well. This acts as a binder in the meatloaf to reduce the amount of almond flour you use.1 1/2 cup Shredded Cheddar Cheese
- Get out your small loaf pans and divide the meat mixture in half between them. Set aside for now.
- Get out your Instant Pot and add 1 cup of water to the bottom. Place in your trivet and get out your silicone sling.
- In a small bowl, stir up the sugar free ketchup, mustard and keto brown sugar. Spoon half of the ketchup topping onto each loaf in the pan. Now cover each with aluminum foil.2/3 cup Sugar Free Ketchup, 1/2 cup Keto Brown Sugar
- Place them in the silicone sling or onto a trivet in the Instant Pot if you do not have a sling. Lower them into the Instant Pot or place directly on the trivet. Close the lid and make sure the valve is set to sealing.
- Pressure cook at HIGH Pressure for 25 minutes.
- Once the cooking time is up, do a quick release on the pressure cooker's pressure valve avoiding the steam that comes out. Now remove the lid and lift out your silicone sling or carefully remove the pans from the trivet.
- Now set onto a heatproof surface and carefully remove the foil away from you as there will be hot steam released. You may see that your ketchup topping has cooked into the meatloaf. This is fine, just top with additional ketchup upon serving.
- Alternately you can place the pans uncovered and topped with additional ketchup sauce into the oven under broil for 5 minutes. Store any leftovers in an airtight container once it has cooled, up to 5 days in the fridge.
- To reheat the meatloaf for a quick meal, place in a foil packet or covered oven dish with 2 tablespoons of water. Bake at 350F for 8-10 minutes.

Notes
- Choosing the right type of ground meat is crucial for the flavor and texture of your keto meatloaf. You can use lean ground beef, ground turkey or ground chicken for a unique taste.
- To infuse your meatloaf with flavor, you can add ingredients like sautéed red pepper, bell pepper or green onions.
- If you do not have 2 small Instant Pot bread pans, you can always use a 7-inch springform pan if you don't mind triangle meatloaf cuts. Most Instant Pot recipes are interchangeable with cooking vessels as long as it is not overfilled.
- You can freeze the loaves for the perfect of all freezer meals. After they are completely cooled, put the loaf pans into the freezer for 1 hour.
Then remove the loaf from the pan and wrap in plastic wrap before putting into a freezer bag.
Freeze up to 3 months.
Write on the bag "Cook at 350F 20 minutes from frozen"
You could also put back in the Instant Pot for 5 minutes with a quick release of pressure. - Switch out the cheddar cheese with a different combination of cheese you enjoy. Make sure you choose a cheese that is similar in texture to cheddar. Mozzarella will be a little too gooey so I would advise against it. Monterey Cheese is a great white cheese to use that is not too gooey.
- If you do not have sugar free ketchup you can sub in some tomato sauce that you have seasoned with some onion powder.
- If you do not have Worcestershire Sauce on hand, you can always use soy sauce in its place.
- It is the perfect answer to meal prep for the week. Make them up ahead of time and pre-portion 2 slices per meal plus some sides.
