Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 egg
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1/2 box Stove Top stuffing
  • 3/4 cup ketchup divided
  • 1/2 tsp seasoning salt
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1/4 tsp pepper
  • 1 tbsp brown sugar

Equipment

  • Air Fryer
  • Mixing Bowls

Method
 

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together egg and water.
  2. To this bowl, add ground beef, Stove Top stuffing, ¼ cup ketchup, seasoning salt, garlic powder, onion powder, and pepper. Combine with your hands just until mixed.
  3. Shape the meat into 2 loaves and place them in the air fryer.
  4. Air Fry at 350°F for 15 minutes. If the loaves are getting too brown, place foil over the tops of them then continue cooking for 10 more minutes.  
  5. While the meatloaves are cooking, prepare the glaze. In a small bowl, stir together the remaining ½ cup of ketchup and brown sugar. 
  6. After 25 minutes, open the air fryer and brush the glaze onto the tops and sides of the meatloaves.
  7. Continue air frying at 350°F for another 10 minutes.
  8. Check for doneness and measure the internal temperature. If the thermometer does not reach 160°F, continue to cook the meatloaves at 5-minute intervals.
  9. When the meatloaves are done, allow them to rest in the basket for at least 5 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Leave space between the meatloaves to allow air to circulate between them.
  • Each air fryer is different so the cooking time may fluctuate depending on your model. Check your meatloaf often, especially towards the end of the cooking time to ensure it doesn’t burn. 
  • Don’t try baking this in one big loaf as it won’t cook evenly. If your air fryer isn’t big enough for 2 loaves, cook them in batches or freeze an uncooked loaf for a future meal.
