Notes

Swirls of Flavor Recipe Tips

You can mix and form the meatloaf ahead, cover it in plastic wrap and refrigerate. Then remove from the refrigerator, let stand at room temperature for about 30 minutes, remove plastic wrap and air fry as directed in the recipe.

Substitutions

You can substitute ½ teaspoon garlic powder for the minced garlic
If you prefer to use your favorite jarred bbq sauce you can use it in place of my homemade barbecue sauce
Don’t have smoked paprika? You can use paprika in its place. It just won’t impart a smoky flavor but will still be delicious!
Ground chicken or ground turkey can be used in place of the ground beef
