WW Mini Meatloaves

These WW Mini Meatloaves are a tasty and fun dinner for the whole family! This recipe is low in points, high in protein and works great for meal prep. 

Traditional meatloaf is a classic, but let’s face it — it can blow through a lot of WW points. By downsizing into mini loaves, you get all the hearty satisfaction in a smart portion size.

Where’s the recipe?

Here at My Crazy Good Life we like to make sure that our recipes are easy for anyone to follow. In this article you’ll find ingredient information, Instant Pot cooking instructions, and healthy eating plan calculations. At the bottom, you’ll find the mini meatloaf printable recipe with additional cooking methods for the oven and slow cooker.

Ingredients

• Ground turkey: I use lean ground turkey. You can use lean ground beef if you prefer.
• Whole wheat crackers: I like to crumble crackers so I know what I’m putting in my meatloaves. If you prefer, you can use bread crumbs instead but you will need to calculate your WW points to reflect the change. 
• Eggs: Eggs help to bind the mini meat loaf bites together.
• Seasoning: Onion powder, pepper, Italian seasoning, and garlic salt (you can use plain garlic powder if you’re trying to reduce your sodium intake)
• Coconut aminos: Coconut aminos add a great flavor to this dish. If you don’t have or can’t find coconut aminos, you can use low sodium Worcestershire or soy sauce. You can learn more about coconut aminos here.
• Tomato sauce: I use low sodium tomato sauce.
• Tomato paste: Tomato paste helps to thicken the meat loaf sauce.
• Honey: Honey adds a nice sweetness to the sauce without having to use refined sugar.
• Apple cider vinegar: Using ACV helps to brighten the sauce.
• Broth: Low sodium beef or chicken broth, or plain water if you’re not cooking string beans.
• String beans: Fresh, trimmed and cut.

Instant Pot Meatloaf Bite Directions

1. In a large bowl combine the ground turkey, cracker crumbs, eggs, seasoning, and coconut aminos together.
2. Add the meatloaf mixture to each well of your silicone egg bite mold.
3. Cover the meatloaves with foil or a *heat resistant* silicone food cover and place them on a trivet, off center so that the cups aren’t resting over each other.
4. Add the broth and string beans to the inner Instant Pot.
5. Carefully place the trivet of mini meat loaf bites on top of the string beans.
6. Close the lid of your Instant Pot and turn the pressure valve to sealing.
7. Cook on high pressure using the manual setting for 35 minutes.
8. While the meatloaves are cooking, stir together the tomato sauce, tomato paste, honey, and ACV in a small bowl and set aside.
9. When the cook time is done, release the pressure using the quick release method.
10. Remove the trivet of meatloaves and the string beans from your Instant Pot.
11. Take the meatloaves out of the silicone egg bite mold and arrange them on a baking sheet. Spoon the tomato sauce mixture evenly on top of the mini meatloaves.
12. Place the baking sheet in the oven, under broil, for 3-5 minutes. Just long enough for the sauce to set.
13. Let the meatloaves rest for a couple minutes and then serve with the string beans.

Recipe tips

• If you don’t have egg bite mold, you can also use silicone cupcake liners or muffin cups in your Instant Pot. 
• These freeze and reheat in the microwave very nicely.
• If you don’t want to cook green beans you’ll still need either broth or water in your Instant Pot – that’s how it comes to pressure. Just omit the green beans and add 1 ½ cups of water or broth to the pot before you add the trivet of meatloaves.
