 Meatloaf is a classic comfort food, but can we make the best meatloaf in an air fryer? Well spoiler, YES we can! In fact after making several I think the air fryer might actually be the IDEAL way of cooking meat loaf. It gets a great crust on the outside faster than an oven making it harder to dry out the inside and giving the crust a great texture.  Just a quick note if you make this is a regular oven I would cook it at 400F for 30 minutes before coating the the sauce and cooking for another 15minutes or so! Don't forget to rest the meatloaf for at least 10 minutes.           The BEST Air Fryer Meatloaf Recipe:    Click for Printable version Enjoy!

  Potjiekos, the wonderful traditional stew of South Africa! Potjiekos isn't like most stews in that it's layered rather than mixed all together, so the flavors of your various layers can shine through!
