- 3 tablespoons dry bread crumbs
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme
- 1 teaspoon salt

Instructions
- Preheat an air fryer to 392 degrees F (200 degrees C).

I add a whole bag of shredded cheese (whatever is your favorite or what ever is on hand) (My family goes crazy over my meatloaf and homemade sauce!) I also subbed bread crumbs with frosted/ or corn flakes breading in liue of bread crumbs. It was a total hit!
Came out a tad burnt on top but tastes wonderful
Easy and tasty.
Used my herb mixture, fresh tomato, 4 crushed Ritz crackers. Oil on top cooked to black crisp but not bad. Will do again.
Meatloaf turned out great! A little bit crispy on top but so juicy. I plan on making this again tonight to take to a friend.
I made this in a Ninja 2 drawer, checked it after 20 minutes and it appeared too done. Used my thermometer and it was 170. The top and ends were dark and hard. I cut those parts off and the meatloaf was ok to eat, but that means you lose quite a bit. If I make it again I will check at 15 min, probably done by then. All air fryers seem to cook differently. Lesson learned.
We had this tonight for the first time. Followed the recipe to a tee, except I added one additional ingredient, about a tablespoon of worsetershire sauce for a bit of tang. Absolutely perfect, with a nice crust, but moist inside. Yum, highly recommended!
The recipe itself is excellent, easy to make and delicious. Just an FYI, I checked on the meatloaf after 15 minutes in the air fryer and at that point it was a bit overdone already. The recipe calls for 25 minutes. I’m sure air fryers vary; just be sure to check early and often to see if the meatloaf is cooked.
Worked amazingly yummy.
Easy, quick, and good
I followed the recipe exactly. The top was burned and it didn’t cook much inside
Very good ! I added Worcestershire sauce and chopped green, yellow, orange peppers. Will make again.
The recipe was quick and easy. But most importantly delicious
Easy to make, added garlic and worcestershire but left off the oil and mushrooms and put ketchup on the top.
Very good recipe. I followed my own recipe and cooked the meatloaf according to the cooking guidelines on this recipe. My meatloaf turned out wonderful.
It was quick and easy to make. I had all the requested ingredients for it and it came out great. Meatloaf is one of my husband’s favorite things to eat and I love anything that I can do in our air fryer.
Tastes ok, but impossible to make in vertical air fryers. Gunk drips down on the basket and is a bear to clean.
I didn’t use mushrooms but a tin of tomato’s to poor over the top half way through cooking very yummy
A bit salty, but good. Next time I waill go a couple minutes less. It was slightly overcooked.
It was delicious, I added a 1/4 cup fresh grated parmesan and 1/3 cup ketchup. Airfry 16 minutes 400°F.
Just made this, skipping the mushroom. This is really really good and crispy on the top. I added ketchup to the top for the last 5 minutes and even my HIGHLY picky husband loved it. He sliced and ate it and 15 minutes later made a meatloaf sandwich. Definitely in my rotation. Easy and had all the ingredients. I used less oil and it still came out perfect! Give it a try, you won’t be sorry!
