These Air Fryer Mini Meatloaves are an easy comfort food dinner made with ground beef, cheddar cheese and a simple ketchup topping. They cook in just 12–14 minutes, with a 25-minute oven option too.
Chop onion, cut cheese into chunks, and beat egg in a small bowl.
In a large bowl combine ground beef, cheese, bread crumbs, onion, mustard, 2 tablespoons of ketchup, beaten egg, garlic, salt, and pepper. I use clean dry hands for this.
1 pound lean ground beef, ½ cup diced cheese, ⅓ cup breadcrumbs, ¼ cup onion, 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard, 2 tablespoons ketchup, 1 egg, 1 teaspoon garlic, ½ teaspoon salt, ½ teaspoon black pepper
Divide meat mixture into fourths and shape into 4 loaves, they will look sort of like flat footballs, approximately 4" X 2".
