Notes: To avoid overcooking, check the meatloaf during the cooking process.
Slicing the meatloaf is easier if you let it rest before doing so.
Frying fatty foods in an air fryer can cause smoking. To prevent this, you can put a piece of bread under the rack in the bottom of the basket. In case the grease spills, the bread will soak it up.

WHY YOU’LL LOVE THIS RECIPE
Our whole family loves this air fryer version of meatloaf so much. We typically have this easy one-pot dinner at least once per week.
Compared to an oven recipe, this simple recipe may be cooked in roughly half the time.
Rather of cooking the beef in the fat, it drains into the pan, making this meatloaf less greasy and more healthy (also try out healthy turkey meatloaf).
With this recipe, you get 2 small loaves (and you get more of those coveted crispy edges!)
