💭 Tips

Expert Tip: 85/15 ground beef works best. There's enough fat to carry the flavor but not so much that the air fryer is a pain to clean up.

  • You can use ground turkey as well.
  • Line the bottom of the air fryer with foil for easy clean up - there will be grease!
  • Increase the serving size to 4 and make 4 meatloaves. Bake one tonight and package the other 4 in individual freezer bags. Freeze until the day of serving then just remove from the freezer and let thaw all day in the refrigerator until you're ready to cook.
  • Use parchment or aluminum foil over the rack to keep the meat loaf from falling through. Poke small holes in the paper to allow the grease to drain off.
  • Check with a instaread thermometer after 8 minutes - air fryers may vary in how quickly they cook the meatloaf.
  • Cook until the internal temperature is 160F then let it rest for 5 minutes. During that time the internal temperature will rise to 165F.
  • If the top is getting too dark just cover with some aluminum foil.

👩🏻‍🍳 FAQs

Here are the questions I am most frequently asked about this recipe.

What can you use instead of breadcrumbs for Keto?

My favorite substitution in meatloaf is Parmesan cheese - the shelf stable kind in the green canister. You can also use pork rind crumbs, almond flour, or chopped nuts.

Why does my meatloaf fall apart?

Not enough binding agents. Make sure you use egg as well as the Parmesan called for in this.

🥫 Storage

Since this feeds one person storage isn't usually an issue. If you do have leftovers you can refrigerate them for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage.
