These Mini BBQ Meatloaf Onion Bombs are a delicious and easy healthy dinner that everyone in your family will love! Just try telling them all that it’s a 21 Day Fix family friendly dinner ;)

For those of you who don’t want to make one big meatloaf, I love making these Instant Pot mini meatloaves! For this recipe, I used a stackable pan for the Instant Pot. it’s my new favorite Instant Pot Accessory for a few reasons:

You can easily cook multiple foods at one time without messing around with foil layers
You can use one pan at a time if you want
No need to make a foil sling because there is a sturdy handle on these
Oven safe, so I can brown my meal after if I want to
One lid is steaming for veggies!
