Meatloaf has been a popular dish in American cuisine since the late 1800s. It was originally made with ground beef, bread crumbs, and seasonings, and was often served as a budget-friendly meal. The mini meatloaves became popular in the 1950s, as they were a convenient size for individual servings. With the rise of air fryers in recent years, this classic dish can now be made in a healthier and quicker way.
