Instructions
- Preheat your air fryer to 380°F (190°C).
- In a large bowl, combine the ground beef or ground turkey, plain breadcrumbs, egg, ¼ cup ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
- Add in the shredded cheddar cheese and mix until the ingredients are well combined.
- Divide the meat mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each portion.
- Grease your air fryer basket with cooking spray or a light coating of olive oil to prevent the loaves from sticking. You can also use parchment paper instead.
- Place the mini meatloaves in the air fryer basket and air fry for 8-10 minutes, flipping the meatloaves halfway through the cooking time. Continue cooking until their internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C). Use an instant-read thermometer to check for doneness, because cooking times may vary depending on your air fryer model.
- Remove the mini loaves from the air fryer. If you want, brush the tops with additional ketchup for a flavorful glaze.
- Allow the meatloaves to rest for about 5 minutes before serving to retain their juices.
- Serve your mini meatloaves with a side of green beans, mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, brown gravy, or a side salad.
Notes
- Ensure the best cooking results by preheating your air fryer to the right temperature.
- If you notice that the meatloaf is becoming too dry during the reheating process, don't be afraid to add a tablespoon or so of water to the air fryer basket. This will help to maintain the moisture in your mini meatloaf and prevent it from drying out.
- Finely chop any vegetables you want to include to help your mini meatloaves cook evenly and keep their texture light and tender.
- Choose a mix of lean and fatty ground beef. Generally, a ratio of 80% lean meat and 20% fat will yield a tender and juicy outcome.
- To avoid a tough meatloaf, gently mix the ingredients until they are combined. Overmixing will cause the meatloaf to become dense.
- Make sure your meatloaves don't touch each other in the air fryer basket to ensure proper air circulation for even cooking.
- Use a digital meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of your mini meatloaf to confirm it's at least 160°F.
- To add moisture and flavor, brush on your favorite sauce near the end of cooking. Use ketchup, barbecue sauce, or your favorite.
- Once finished cooking, allow your mini meatloaf to rest for a few minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute and settle.
