Equipment

Ingredients 

  • 1 pound 85/15 ground beef or meatloaf mix
  • 1 small onion diced
  • 1 egg
  • 1 cup plain breadcrumbs
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • ½ cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon parsley
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 teapoon ground black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons ketchup

For the glaze:

  • ¼ cup sugar-free ketchup
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 ½ teaspoons Worcestershire sauce

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, using your hands or a spoon, gently mix ground beef, onion, eggs, breadcrumbs, garlic, milk, Italian seasoning, parsley, salt, pepper, and ketchup. Do not overmix or it will create a tough loaf!
    1 pound 85/15 ground beef, 1 small onion, 1 egg, 1 cup plain breadcrumbs, 3 cloves garlic, ½ cup milk, 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning, 1 teaspoon parsley, 1 teaspoon kosher salt, 1 teapoon ground black pepper, 2 tablespoons ketchup
  • Shape this mixture into two equal loaves. Place both loaves, side by side, into the basket of your air fryer.
  • Air fry at 350 °F (177 °C) for 20 minutes, or until a thermometer inserted into the center comes out 165 °F (74 °C)
  • While the meatloaf is cooking, in a small bowl, whisk together ketchup, brown sugar, and Worcestershire sauce.
    ¼ cup sugar-free ketchup, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, 1 ½ teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
  • When there is 5 minutes left of cooking, pull out the air fryer basket and using a pastry brush, generously brush on the meatloaf glaze. Insert the air fryer basket back into the air fryer to finish cooking.
  • Allow meatloaf to cool for 10 minutes then remove from the air fryer basket and slice into thick slices on a cutting board.
