Ingredients
  

Meatloaf
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1/2 cup plain breadcrumbs
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
Sweet & Tangy Glaze
  • 1/4 cup ketchup
  • 1 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce

Equipment

  • Air Fryer

Method
 

  1. In a small bowl, stir together the ketchup, brown sugar, and Worcestershire sauce. Set aside.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, egg, milk, Worcestershire sauce, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix just until combined.
  3. Divide the meat mixture into 4 equal portions. Shape each portion into a small loaf, approximately 3 1/2 to 4 inches long.
  4. Place the mini meatloaves in the air fryer basket, leaving space between each one for air to circulate.
  5. Air fry at 350°F for 10 minutes.
  6. Open the air fryer and brush the tops of the meatloaves generously with the prepared glaze.
  7. Air fry for an additional 5–10 minutes, or until the center of each meatloaf reaches 160°F.
  8. Remove from the air fryer and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • Cooking times may vary depending on your air fryer and the thickness of the mini meatloaves.
  • Use a meat thermometer to make sure the center reaches 160°F.
  • Avoid overmixing the ground beef to help keep the meatloaves tender.
  • For a less-sweet glaze, reduce the brown sugar.
  • Serve with mashed potatoes and green beans or corn for an easy comfort-food dinner.
