This Air Fryer Meatloaf is a quicker version of a classic comfort food! It's ultra juicy, so flavorful, and slathered in a sweet and tangy three-ingredient sauce!
Grease a 2 quart air fryer safe non-stick square baking pan (6.5L x 6.5W x 2.75H inch) with cooking spray. Set aside.
In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat then add in onion, garlic, and a touch of salt and pepper.
Cook until tender, about 5-10 minutes.
Move mixture to a large mixing bowl.
Add in breadcrumbs, parmesan, buttermilk, Worcestershire sauce, ground beef, egg, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.
Use your hands to mix the mixture until combined.
Transfer mixture to the prepared baking pan and preheat air fryer to 400 degrees F.
Air fry for 25-30 minutes or until the meat is fully cooked (160ºF internal temperature).
Let sit for 15 minutes (I removed the whole basket from the air fryer and let it sit, because it was too hot to remove the baking pan from the basket).
Carefully drain excess grease (there’s quite a bit) then turn out onto a cutting board.
Top with desired amount of sauce (directions listed below), slice, then serve with the remaining sauce as dipping sauce.
Sauce
Whisk brown sugar, ketchup, and mustard in a medium sized bowl.
Warm in the microwave before topping the meatloaf.
