Directions
Spray the air fryer basket with a little oil, then preheat it to 390°F (200°C). In a big bowl, mix together the ground chuck, egg, bread crumbs, mayo, onion powder, and a pinch of salt until everything is well combined. Shape the mixture into six small meatloaves. Place them in the air fryer basket, making sure they have a little space between them so they cook evenly. Cook for about 30 minutes until they're cooked through and nicely browned. Then, spread a bit of ketchup on top of each mini meatloaf and pop them back in for another 3 minutes to let the sauce set. Let them cool for a minute before digging in!
How To Present This Dish
Serve with mashed potatoes and steamed green beans for a classic meal. They also pair well with a simple side salad or roasted vegetables for a lighter option.
Best Storage Tips
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the air fryer or microwave to keep them moist and flavorful. You can also freeze cooked mini meatloaves for up to 2 months.
