Description

Savor the delightful flavors of this Crockpot Meatloaf, featuring tender ground beef, panko breadcrumbs, and a mouthwatering glaze. This easy recipe is perfect for an effortless family dinner, combining rich tastes with simple preparation.


Ingredients

Scale
  • ⅓ cup milk
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons ketchup
  • 1 tablespoon worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • black pepper (to taste)
  • ¾ cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 2 tablespoons dried minced onion
  • 2 pounds ground beef
  • ⅓ cup ketchup
  • 2 tablespoons light brown sugar
  • ½ teaspoon yellow mustard

Instructions

  1. Prep by creating a foil sling in a 5-6 quart slow cooker, ensuring it stays below the rim and then spray with cooking spray.
  2. Whisk together milk, eggs, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, and all seasonings in a bowl. Stir in breadcrumbs and dried minced onion, then let it soak for 5 minutes.
  3. Add ground beef to the mixture and combine gently—avoid overmixing.
  4. Shape the mixture into a large oval loaf and place it on the foil sling.
  5. Mix together the glaze ingredients, reserving half in the fridge. Spread the other half over the meatloaf.
  6. Cover and cook on HIGH for 2.5-3 hours or on LOW for 5-6 hours until it reaches an internal temp of 160°F.
  7. Once cooked, top with the reserved glaze. Optionally scrape off any odd-looking spots if desired.
  8. Let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing, ensuring to drain any juices before lifting the loaf.

Notes

Feel free to mix ground beef with ground pork for added flavor.
Be careful not to overcook to avoid dryness. Adjust cooking time for desired moisture.
The foil sling makes for easy lifting and serving.
