1.5 lb Ground Beef Use 90-93% lean for moisture and flavor without excess fat.
0.75 cup Panko Breadcrumbs A binding agent that helps maintain moisture; substitute with regular breadcrumbs if needed.
1 whole Egg Room temperature acts as a binder.
0.75 cup Ketchup Adds sweetness and moisture.
0.25 cup Ketchup For glaze.
1 tbsp Worcestershire Sauce Enhances savory depth.
1 tsp Onion Powder Boosts flavor.
0.5 tsp Garlic Powder Adds extra flavor.
0.5 tsp Seasoned Salt Provides essential seasoning.

In a large bowl, gently mix the ground beef, panko breadcrumbs, room temperature egg, onion powder, garlic powder, seasoned salt, Worcestershire sauce, and 1/2 cup of ketchup. Be careful not to overmix; just combine until everything is moistened and cohesive.
Divide the mixture into two equal portions and pack each half firmly into a loaf pan.
Pour 1.5 cups of water into the bottom of the Instant Pot and insert the trivet. Carefully place the loaf pans on top of the trivet.
Close the lid securely, set the vent to seal, and cook on high pressure for 25 minutes.
Once cooking time is up, perform a quick release by turning the vent carefully.
Drain any excess drippings from the pans and preheat your broiler. Spread the remaining 1/4 cup of ketchup over the tops of the meatloaves and broil for 5 minutes.
Allow the meatloaf to rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing.

Serve with creamy mashed potatoes for a full comfort meal experience.
