Description

Make a flavorful Air Fryer Guinness Cheddar Meatloaf in no time! This juicy meatloaf is infused with the rich taste of Guinness beer and cheddar cheese, cooked perfectly in your air fryer.

Ingredients 

  • 1 pound ground beef, or a mix of beef and pork
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs, plain or seasoned
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1 large egg, lightly beaten
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 cup Guinness beer
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Topping Ingredients:

  • 2 tablespoons ketchup
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon honey

Instructions

  • In a skillet, heat a bit of oil and cook the finely chopped onion until translucent. Add the Guinness beer and simmer until it reduces, deepening the flavor.
  • In a large bowl, combine all the meatloaf ingredients and mix until just combined—avoid overmixing to keep the meatloaf tender. Shape the mixture into a loaf that fits your air fryer basket and cook at 375°F (190°C) for 20 minutes.
  • While the meatloaf is cooking, prepare the topping by mixing ketchup, Dijon mustard, and honey. After 20 minutes, spread the topping evenly over the meatloaf and cook for an additional 15–20 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (70°C).
  • Allow the meatloaf to rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing. Serve with mashed potatoes, roasted veggies, or a crisp salad for a complete meal.

Equipment

  • Cooking Spray
  • Parchment Paper, optional
