Preheating your air fryer is an important step to ensure that your food will cook evenly. If you don’t preheat your air fryer, the food can stick to the cookware or cook unevenly. The general rule of thumb is to preheat your air fryer for about 3-5 minutes before cooking. This will help to ensure that your food cooks evenly and doesn’t stick to the cookware. When preheating your air fryer, make sure to set it to the correct temperature. The temperature that you set your air fryer to will depend on what you are cooking. For example, if you are cooking chicken, you will want to set your air fryer to 400 degrees F. If you are cooking fish, you will want to set your air fryer to 350 degrees F. Once you have set your air fryer to the correct temperature, you can begin cooking your food. While it is not necessary to preheat your air fryer, it is highly recommended.

In a bowl, mix together ground beef, bread crumbs, onion, eggs, milk, salt, and pepper. Be sure to mix everything together well so that the flavors can all meld together. You don’t want any big chunks of any one ingredient, so take the time to really mix it up good. The mixture should be pretty sticky. Once everything is mixed together, use your hands to form it into a loaf shape. You want it to be as compact as possible so that it will cook evenly. Place the meatloaf in the air fryer basket and cook for about 25 minutes at 400 degrees. You’ll know it’s done when the internal temperature reaches 160 degrees. Let it rest for a few minutes before slicing into it and serving. Enjoy!
3. Shape mixture into a loaf on a lightly greased sheet of aluminum foil.
When it comes to meatloaf, there are endless possibilities for how to shape it. You can make it into a loaf on a lightly greased sheet of aluminum foil, or you can get creative and shape it into whatever your heart desires. If you’re looking for a more traditional meatloaf, shaping it into a loaf is the way to go. To shape your meatloaf into a loaf, start by lightly greasing a sheet of aluminum foil. Then, take your meatloaf mixture and shape it into a loaf. Make sure that the loaf is compact and even, so that it will cook evenly. Once you’ve shaped your loaf, put it on the foil and place it in the air fryer. Cooking times will vary depending on the size of your meatloaf, but a general guideline is to cook it for 10 minutes per inch of thickness. So, if your meatloaf is 2 inches thick, you would cook it for 20 minutes. Once your meatloaf is cooked through, let it rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
4. Place meatloaf in air fryer and cook for 25 minutes.
Once you have mixed all of your ingredients together and have formed your meatloaf, it is time to cook it. Preheat your air fryer to 375 degrees F. Place your meatloaf inside, making sure that it is not touching the sides or bottom of the fryer. You may need to cook your meatloaf in batches if it is too large to fit in your fryer. Cook for 25 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the meatloaf reaches 160 degrees F. Let the meatloaf rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
5. In a small bowl, mix together ketchup, brown sugar, and vinegar.
One of the great things about meatloaf is that it is easy to change up the flavors to suit your tastes. In this recipe, we’ve used a combination of ketchup, brown sugar, and vinegar to give the meatloaf a sweet and tangy flavor. If you’re not a fan of ketchup, you could try using barbecue sauce instead. To make this meatloaf in an air fryer, you’ll need to start by mixing together the ground beef, bread crumbs, onion, garlic, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Once the ingredients are well combined, shape the mixture into a loaf and place it in the air fryer. Next, mix together the ketchup, brown sugar, and vinegar in a small bowl. Once the ingredients are combined, brush the mixture over the top of the meatloaf. Finally, set the air fryer to cook at 375 degrees for 25 minutes. Once the time is up, check the meatloaf to make sure it is cooked through. If it is not, cook for an additional 5-10 minutes. Once the meatloaf is cooked through, remove it from the air fryer and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
6. Spread glaze over meatloaf.
Place the meatloaf in the air fryer and cook for 10 minutes. Remove the meatloaf from the air fryer and spread glaze over the top. Place the meatloaf back in the air fryer and cook for an additional 5 minutes. Remove the meatloaf from the air fryer and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
7. Cook for an additional 5 minutes.
After shaping your meatloaf, preheat your air fryer to 400 degrees F. Cook the meatloaf for 25 minutes, then remove from the air fryer and carefully brush on your favorite BBQ sauce. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the meatloaf reaches 160 degrees F. Enjoy!
This meatloaf recipe is a healthier alternative to the traditional dish, and it is just as delicious. The air fryer cooks the meatloaf evenly and keeps it moist, while the bread crumbs add a crunchy topping. This is a meal that the whole family will enjoy.
