This simple air fryer meatloaf is easy to make and ready to eat in less than an hour.
Ingredients
- 1 pound lean ground beef
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 1 large egg, lightly beaten
- 3 tablespoons dry bread crumbs
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ground black pepper to taste
- 2 mushrooms, thickly sliced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil, or as needed
Directions
Step 1
Preheat an air fryer to 392 degrees F (200 degrees C).
Step 2
Combine ground beef, onion, bread crumbs, thyme, egg, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Knead and mix thoroughly. Transfer mixture to a small loaf pan. Smooth the top, press in mushrooms, and coat with olive oil.
Step 3
Roast meatloaf in the preheated air fryer until nicely browned, about 25 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (72 degrees C).
Step 4
Let meatloaf rest at least 10 minutes before slicing into wedges and serving.

I tried this for the first time tonight. I love salt, but it was way too salty! I will definitely cut the salt by half next time. I omitted the oil and mushrooms and didn’t feel it was missing anything. Also, I cooked it for 30 minutes instead of 25 and it was over cooked. My mistake! Lol.

This was fantastic although I suggest a couple mods. Much less fresh thyme – I used less than a tsp and that was plenty. After 30 minutes the outside was beautifully dark brown, but the internal temp was 130F. I the deeper I went in, the cooler it got. I took it out of the baking pan and put it on the browning plate in the air fryer. Internal temperature came up from 130F to 160+ within 6-10 minutes. No baking dish next time. I?m guessing it might interfere with hot air circulation, which is what an air fryer is all about. BTW, the 392 temperature is just the direct result of converting 200C to F. I think I?ll make another for breakfast with a couple eggs over easy on a big fat slice. Enjoy!

I loved the flavor of this recipe, but I used Italian seasoned bread crumbs. I?m a new air fryer user (got one for Christmas). So far everything I?ve made has been too salty, even though the recipes were for air frying, and I?m big on salt. Therefore, I reduced the salt to a half a teaspoon. I also added a brown sugar, mustard and ketchup glaze from another recipe 10 minutes before time ended. The meatloaf was already getting really brown, so I hoped the glaze would slow that process. However, the glaze was super crispy. I have a Ninja and chose the roast option to cook my meatloaf. The default temp was 325. Im thinking next time I will use that temp and check it at 25 minutes and check it for fineness, then add the glaze and add five more minutes to the timer. Still, it was very good!

Just made this, skipping the mushroom. This is really really good and crispy on the top. I added ketchup to the top for the last 5 minutes and even my HIGHLY picky husband loved it. He sliced and ate it and 15 minutes later made a meatloaf sandwich. Definitely in my rotation. Easy and had all the ingredients. I used less oil and it still came out perfect! Give it a try, you won’t be sorry!

The recipe itself is excellent, easy to make and delicious. Just an FYI, I checked on the meatloaf after 15 minutes in the air fryer and at that point it was a bit overdone already. The recipe calls for 25 minutes. I’m sure air fryers vary; just be sure to check early and often to see if the meatloaf is cooked.

I made this in a Ninja 2 drawer, checked it after 20 minutes and it appeared too done. Used my thermometer and it was 170. The top and ends were dark and hard. I cut those parts off and the meatloaf was ok to eat, but that means you lose quite a bit. If I make it
again I will check at 15 min, probably done by then. All air fryers seem to cook differently. Lesson learned. -

Simple easy recipe. Tasty flavorful meatloaf. As other reviewers have mentioned, cook time will vary with your make and model air fryer. I reduced the temperature to 375 degrees and cooked the meatloaf in an aluminum loaf pan that fit perfectly into the basket of my air fryer. I found it took about 30 minutes to cook to temperature in my model. I also used a meatloaf mix (pork, beef, and veal) for more flavor.

We made this with the revised instructions (two loaves at 350).
Loved the texture, the ease of putting it together, and the quick cooking time and juiciness. We generally prefer more spicy foods and more pungent flavors and will defininitely make is again and simply tweak the spices and herbs.&[Needs more flavor]
