THIS RECIPE IS AIR FRYER-FRIENDLY
Simply reduce the cooking time and temperature on your air fryer as shown here.*

Timing
Set air fryer timer for half the cooking time of a conventional oven. Add extra time for doneness if needed.

Temperature
Reduce regular oven temperature by 25° to 50° (not going below 350°) on your air fryer. If food is getting too dark, reduce by another 25°.

* Always follow manufacturer’s instructions.

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 350°F.

  2. 2
    Mix all ingredients together in a bowl, but avoid excessive handling for a moist meatloaf. Form into a loaf and place in a baking dish or loaf pan.
  3. 3

    Bake for 40–45 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.

  4. 4
    Remove from oven and let the meatloaf stand covered for 10–15 minutes before slicing.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Wonderful flavor! I tried this for the first time and it turned out really good! As I was mixing the ingredients together, it seemed a little dry, so I added 1/2 cup of beef broth.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Family favorite This is a family favorite. I make it twice a month . My whole family is ranch lovers and love how moist the meat comes out . We use ranch on the side when it’s time to eat instead of putting sauce on top of our meatloaf when it’s good cooking .
