Dinner 45 Mins.

Ingredients

4

4 servings

  • ⅓ cup milk
  • 2 tablespoons purchased basil pesto
  • 1 egg, lightly beaten
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 pound 90% lean ground beef
  • ⅓ cup Italian-seasoned panko bread crumbs
  • 8 slices pepperoni
  • 2 ounces small fresh mozzarella balls (such as BelGioioso®)
  • ½ cup marinara sauce, warmed
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil, or to taste (Optional)

Instructions

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