Air Fryer Meatloaf
Our family favorite, cozy comfort food has an added twist with a small amount of chorizo. Using a good quality beef, 80/20 lean-to-fat ratio, makes this air fryer meatloaf extra juicy, tender, and most of all tasty.

- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 egg lightly beaten
- 3 tbsp bread crumbs
- 2 oz chorizo finely chopped
- 1 small onion finely chopped
- 1 tbsp fresh thyme
- black pepper

Notes
- Preheat the air fryer before adding the meatloaf
- Use a high quality ground beef, 80/20 lean-to-fat ratio, for the best and juiciest taste
- Substitute Panko for the regular breadcrumbs
- Sauté the chopped onion in a small amount of butter before adding for a milder onion taste
- Don’t over mix the meat, just mix until the ingredients are combined
- Have a meat thermometer ready, beef must reach 165 degrees and air fryers can vary. Check during the cooking process to make sure meatloaf doesn’t overcook. Add more time if needed.
- Rest the meat before slicing or it may fall apart
- Leftovers will store well in an air-sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days
- Reheats quickly in the microwave
