- In a large bowl, gently mix together the ground beef, panko breadcrumbs, egg, onion powder, garlic powder, seasoned salt, Worcestershire sauce, and ½ cup ketchup. Be careful not to overmix!
- Divide the meat mixture into two loaf pans, firmly packing it to hold its shape.
- Pour 1.5 cups of water into the Instant Pot and place the trivet inside.
- Set the loaf pans on the trivet within the Instant Pot and close the lid, ensuring the vent is sealed.
- Set the Instant Pot to cook on high pressure for 25 minutes.
- Perform a quick release once the cooking time is up and carefully open the pot to remove the loaf pans.
- Spread the remaining ketchup generously over the tops of the meatloaf and broil for about 5 minutes until caramelized.
- Let the meatloaf rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Enjoy with your favorite sides!
