Directions

  1. Combine milk, pesto, egg, garlic, and pepper in a medium bowl. Add ground beef and bread crumbs and combine, being careful not to overmix.

  2. Divide meat mixture into 4 portions. Press a well into each portion, leaving a 1/2-inch border around the edge. Place 2 slices pepperoni into each well, overlapping to cover the length of the well. Top each with 1/4 of the mozzarella balls. Press meat mixture around the filling to enclose, form each portion into an oblong loaf shape. Place loaves into the air fryer basket, in batches.

  3. Cook in the air fryer at 370 degrees F (190 degrees C) until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest portion of the meat reads 165 degrees F (75 degrees C), about 15 minutes. Serve meatloaves topped with warm marinara sauce and fresh basil.

Recipe Yield

4 mini meatloaves

Recipe Note

Traditional meatloaf is modernized in this easy Italian-inspired recipe--it's served in mini, single-sized loaves, stuffed with mozzarella and pepperoni, and air-fried, not baked!
