Ingredients
- 2 lbs (907.18g) ground beef
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 cup (143g) sugar-free BBQ sauce
Instructions
- Soak the Skewers (If Using Bamboo): Soak your bamboo skewers in water for 1 hour to prevent them from burning. If air-frying, trim the skewers to fit in your air fryer basket.
- Preheat Cooking Method: Preheat your air fryer to 400ºF or your grill to medium-high heat.
- Prepare the Meat Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, minced garlic, onion powder, Italian seasoning, smoked paprika, and the egg. Use your hands to mix everything until well combined.
- Form the Meatballs and Skewer: Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball, then form them into oval logs around the skewers.
- Brush with BBQ Sauce: Set aside half of the BBQ sauce for later. Brush the remaining sauce over the meatloaf skewers.
- Cook the Meatloaf Skewers:
- Air Fryer: Cook the skewers for 12-15 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145ºF (use an instant-read thermometer).
- Grill: Grill the skewers for about 5 minutes per side, until the internal temperature reaches 145ºF.
- Serve: Once cooked, brush the skewers with the reserved BBQ sauce and serve.
Notes
- Storage: Store the cooked meatloaf skewers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days or in the freezer for up to 2 months.
- Air Fryer Tips: If your air fryer is small, you may need to cook the skewers in batches to avoid overcrowding.
