To make the meatloaf: Stir breadcrumbs and milk together in a medium bowl and let sit for 5 minutes. Add beef, onion, egg, thyme, salt, and pepper; stir to combine evenly without overmixing.

Spray air fryer basket generously with cooking spray or line with parchment paper for easier clean up. Add meatloaves to basket and spray generously with cooking spray. Roast in the preheated air fryer until nicely browned, about 20 to 25 minutes, brushing evenly with ketchup mixture after 18 minutes of cooking. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 155 degrees F (68 degrees C).

From the Editor

This recipe was tested in our test kitchen in November 2023 and updated to make 2 smaller meatloaves, remove sliced mushrooms on top, and include a glaze. Plus, the air fryer temperature was reduced to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
