Notes

  • Don't overwork the meatloaf mixture. Everything should be well combined, but over-mixing it can cause the beef to become chewy and dense.
  • Place the meatloaf straight into the air fryer basket. If you prefer, you can lay it on some foil.
  • We love the tomato glaze to finish off this meatloaf, but it will still be delicious without it.
  • Use an instant-read thermometer to check the meatloaf for doneness; it should be 165°F at the thickest point.
  • Let the meatloaf rest for at least 5 minutes before slicing to lock in the juices.
Storage: Store air fryer meatloaf in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
