Ingredients

  • ½ yellow onion finely minced
  • 2 tsp oil
  • 1 lb meatloaf mixture I used a mix of ground pork, beef and veal, but you can use either just beef or just pork and beef
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tbsp milk
  • ¼ cup ketchup separated
  • 1 tbsp worcestershire sauce
  • ¼ cup bread crumbs
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp black pepper

Instructions

  • Heat oil over medium-low heat in a small skillet and saute onion until soft and fragrant - 4-5 minutes
  • Pour meatloaf mix, egg, milk, 2 tbsp ketchup, worcestershire sauce, bread crumbs, salt, pepper and sauted onions into a large mixing bowl. Mix together until the ingredients are evenly combined.
  • Form mixture into 2 small loaves and place in the air fryer tray on an air fryer liner or a sheet of parchment paper.
  • Preheat air fryer to 325F. Place meatloafs in the preheated air fryer on the parchment paper. 
  • Cook at 325F for 20 minutes. Remove from the air fryer and top each meatloaf with 1 tbsp of ketchup. Continue to cook at 325F for an additional 7 minutes. ** Cooking times may vary depending on your air fryer brand. I recommend using an instant read thermometer to test for an internal temperature of 160F. 
  • Remove from the oven and allow to rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving

Notes

  • You can use ground beef, pork or turkey in place of the meatloaf mixture
  • Use gluten free breadcrumbs in place of standard breadcrumbs
  • I do not recommend using aluminum foil to line your air fryer. It can get too hot and the meatloaf tends to stick to it
