Meatloaf:

3/4 cup Plain breadcrumbs
1.5 pounds Ground beef we prefer a higher fat content 80/20
4 ounces Onion grated
1 large Egg
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
½ teaspoon Garlic powder
1 teaspoon Salt
½ teaspoon Black pepper

Meatloaf Sauce:

1/4 cup Ketchup
1 tablespoon Packed brown sugar
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce

Instructions

In a large bowl combine the breadcrumbs, ground beef, grated onion, egg, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, and salt to the breadcrumb mixture. Mix together until everything is fully combined.
Shape the meat mixture into a loaf approximately 2 inches thick.
Place the meatloaf into the basket of the air fryer.
Set to 350 degrees F and cook for 25 minutes
While the meatloaf cooks make the sauce. In a small bowl whisk together the ketchup, brown sugar, worcestershire sauce to make the meatloaf glaze.
After cooking for 15 minutes pause the air fryer and remove the basket. Spread the sauce over the meatloaf. Return the basket to the air fryer and resume cooking for the remaining 10 minutes.
When the timer goes off, check the meatloaf with an instant read thermometer. The meatloaf is done when the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F. If the meatloaf needs more time, put it back in the air fryer for an additional 5 minutes.
Once it has cooked completely remove from the air fryer basket and let it rest for 10 minutes. Then slice and serve.
