Air Fryer Meatloaf — Do you want to make juicy, flavorful meatloaf without the mess of frying it in oil? Try making your meatloaf with an air fryer!
Today, I am making my mother’s Air Fryer Meatloaf with ground beef. This is one of the best meatloaves if you are looking for a tender, juicy piece of meat to serve to your family.
If you are looking for a quick and delicious meal, look no further than this dish, it’s easy and comes out so moist and absolutely delicious. This is one of America’s greatest comfort foods, and so kid-friendly.
I like to serve mine up with a giant old pile of Instant Pot Mashed Potatoes and some Air Fryer Sweet Corn. But no matter what you serve it up with, it’s absolutely delish, and it’s a great family meal.
Pro Tips:
- Do not overmix, by continuing mixing you will create a hard meatloaf. Once everything is mixed, leave it.
- As previously mentioned above, use lean ground beef. It will leave you with a better end product.
- Add your favorite seasonings, your family loves oregano or garlic, throw it in.
- Let the meat rest. When the meatloaf is done air frying, let it rest for about 4 minutes.
Can You Freeze Meatloaf?
YES! This is a great make-ahead meal. Simply make the meatloaf. And, then cover the pan and freeze.
When you are ready to have it for dinner, you can either air fry it from frozen or leave it to thaw in your refrigerator, it should take about 24 hours to defrost it, then just follow the air frying instructions in the recipe card.
