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

  • 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

  1. Preheat the air fryer to 350°F.
  2. In a large bowl, combine all meatloaf ingredients (eggs through garlic powder). Mix until just combined.
  3. Shape the mixture into a loaf that fits your air fryer basket. Place it on foil and into the fryer.
  4. Cook for 35 minutes. Tent with foil if browning too quickly.
  5. Meanwhile, mix the glaze ingredients: ketchup, brown sugar, and Worcestershire sauce.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
