Description
A quick and flavorful twist on classic meatloaf—juicy on the inside, crisp on the outside, and finished with a tangy glaze, all made in the air fryer.
Ingredients
- 1½ pounds lean ground beef (or meatloaf mix)
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup Italian bread crumbs
- ½ cup milk
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon ketchup
- 2 teaspoons onion powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ cup ketchup (for glaze)
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar (for glaze)
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce (for glaze)
Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer to 350°F.
- In a large bowl, combine all meatloaf ingredients (eggs through garlic powder). Mix until just combined.
- Shape the mixture into a loaf that fits your air fryer basket. Place it on foil and into the fryer.
- Cook for 35 minutes. Tent with foil if browning too quickly.
- Meanwhile, mix the glaze ingredients: ketchup, brown sugar, and Worcestershire sauce.
- After 35 minutes, spread the glaze over the loaf and cook an additional 5 minutes, until the glaze sets and internal temperature reaches 165°F.
- Let the meatloaf rest for about 15 minutes before slicing.
Notes
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure it reaches 165°F internally.
- Tenting with foil helps prevent over-browning during cooking.
- Letting it rest helps juices redistribute, keeping the loaf moist.
