How to store meatloaf
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container or in an aluminum foil in the fridge for up to 3 days or in the freezer for up to 2 months. I already have an instant pot meatloaf recipe on the blog but ever since I made it in the air fryer, I haven’t looked back. The air fryer just gives meatloaf a different texture and flavor which I really love. If you don’t have an air fryer, you can definitely make this in the oven. Budget-friendly I made this recipe using a combination of pork and beef meat and it is cheaper compared to buying ground beef. This recipe is also a great way to use up the ground beef that you may have in the freezer Versatile You can easily customize this recipe to your liking using any seasoning you want
Ground beef and ground pork: for a juicy and flavorful meatloaf use 80/20 lean ground beef and pork.
Breadcrumbs substitute with Panko or Italian breadcrumbs
Worcestershire sauce
Milk
Onion
To a small mixing bowl, combine brown sugar and ketchup, mix to combine and set aside. In a large bowl, gently mix together all of the ingredients until well combined. Divide the meat mixture into two and shape each portion into a loaf shape. Spray the air fryer basket with cooking oil (optional) and carefully place shaped meatloaf in the air fryer. Cook in the air fryer for an initial 20 minutes, spoon the ketchup mixture on the meatloaf and continue to air fry for another 6-10 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165F/74C. Let the meatloaf rest for 5 minutes on a plate before slicing and serving.
