Time 45m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 11

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

Steps:

  • 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.
