Ingredients
- 2 pounds ground beef
- 3/4 cup dry plain breadcrumbs
- 1/3 cup + 1 Tablespoon ketchup
- 2 eggs
- 3 Tablespoons dry minced onions
- 1 Tablespoon milk
- 1 Tablespoon Freshly minced parsley
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 2 Tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
Instructions
- Mix the ground beef, breadcrumbs, 1 tablespoon of the ketchup, eggs, dry onions, milk, parsley, dijon mustard, garlic powder, salt, and pepper together in a large bowl until combined.
- Form the mixture into a 4-inch-thick loaf. Place the loaf into the basket of an air fryer fitted with a sheet of parchment paper.
- Spray the top with olive oil spray and cook in the air fryer at 370 degrees Fahrenheit for 20 minutes.
- In the meantime, whisk the remaining 1/3 cup of ketchup, brown sugar, and Worcestershire sauce together in a small bowl. After the meatloaf has cooked for 20 minutes, brush ¾ of the sauce onto the loaf.
- Cook for another 10 minutes, then brush the top with the remaining sauce. Cook for an additional 3-5 minutes until crust is nicely browned. Allow your meatloaf to rest for about 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes
- Use 80/20 or 85/15 ground beef. This ratio of fat to meat helps ensure a juicy meatloaf.
- Don't overmix! Mix your ingredients until just combined without overworking the meat. This will help prevent your air fryer meatloaf from becoming tough or chewy.
- Preheat your air fryer. I like to preheat my air fryer for a few minutes before adding the food. This ensures that the proper temperature has been reached and that your air fryer meatloaf will cook up perfectly.
- Line your air fryer. Placing a sheet of parchment paper in the bottom of your air fryer will keep the sauce from leaking to the bottom and also makes cleanup a lot easier.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to four days.
