Instructions
Mix all your ingredients until fully incorporated.
1 pound lean ground beef, 6 ounces stuffing mix, 2 eggs, 1/2 cup ketchup, 1 garlic clove, 1 teaspoon chili powder, 1 teaspoon oregano, 1/2 cup water, 3/4 cup ketchup, 6 tablespoons brown sugar, 1 tablespoon dry mustard
If you have mini loaf pans divide the meat in half and put it in 2 loaf pans. If not you can use foil to hold the meat.
To use foil take half of your meat mixture and place it on a sheet of aluminum foil. Mold your meat into a rectangular loaf shape. Bring in the sides of the foil and fold them down. Fold the top and bottom sides and bring them in to make a foil loaf pan for the meatloaf. Repeat with the other half of the meat.
Preheat air fryer at 370 degrees F for 3 minutes.
Cook both loaves at 370°F for 30 minutes, or an internal temperature of 165°F has been reached. Use an instant-read thermometer to check the temperature, don't try to just go by time.
To make a simple sauce combine the ketchup, brown sugar, and dry mustard in a small bowl. Stir until the sugar is dissolved. Or use ketchup, barbecue sauce, or chili sauce.
If you'd like to glaze your meatloaf, brush the top with the sauce when the meatloaf is done cooking. Air fry it for another 2-3 minutes to form a sweet glaze.
Once done cooking, allow your loaf to rest for about 10 minutes. Slice and serve.
Notes
Don't overmix the ingredients.
Preheat the air fryer.
Let the cooked meatloaf rest for 10 minutes, so it cuts cleanly.
