How to cook deliciously - Air Fryer Meatloaf

1. Stage

Preheat an air fryer to 350°. In a large bowl, combine beef, onion, bell pepper, egg, bread crumbs, salt, black pepper, and 2 tbsp. ketchup. Using your hands, mix until evenly incorporated.

2. Stage

On a piece of parchment paper, form beef mixture into 2 equal loaves that will fit in your air fryer. Layer bacon slices on top of loaves.

3. Stage

In a small bowl, whisk brown sugar and remaining 1/4 c. ketchup. Brush onto bacon.

4. Stage

Place pan on a rimmed baking sheet or something similar that fits your air fryer, as juices may overflow during baking. Bake, tenting with foil if bacon starts to burn, until an instant-read thermometer inserted in center of loaves registers 160º and top is golden brown, 25 to 30 minutes.

5. Stage

Make Ahead: Meatloaf can be made 3 days ahead. Transfer to an airtight container and chill.
