Prep: 15 min · Cook: 30 min · Yield: 4 · Method: Air Fryer

Ingredients

• 1 lb ground beef
• 1 large egg
• 0.5 cup breadcrumbs
• 0.25 cup milk
• 0.5 small yellow onion
• 0.5 cup ketchup
• 1 tbsp worcestershire sauce
• 1 tsp kosher salt
• 0.5 tsp black pepper
• 0.5 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tbsp brown sugar
• 1 tsp apple cider vinegar

Cooking instructions

1. Preheat the air fryer to 375°F for 3 minutes. Finely chop the onion. (about 3 min) — 375°F
2. In a large bowl, stir together the breadcrumbs and milk. Let stand for 2 minutes, then mix in the egg, half of the ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, onion, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. (about 3 min)
3. Add the ground beef and gently mix just until combined. Shape the mixture into a compact loaf about 7 inches long and 3 inches wide. Place it in the air-fryer basket or on a perforated liner, leaving space around it for airflow. (about 5 min)
4. Air-fry until the center reaches 150°F, about 20 to 24 minutes. Mix the remaining ketchup with the brown sugar and vinegar, then brush it over the meatloaf. (about 24 min) — 375°F
5. Continue air-frying until the thickest part reaches 160°F, about 5 to 8 minutes more. Rest for 5 minutes before slicing. (about 8 min) — 375°F
