Ingredients
Scale
- â…“ 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 (or a mix of ground beef and ground pork)
- â…“ cup ketchup
- 2 tablespoons light brown sugar
- ½ teaspoon yellow mustard
Instructions
- Prepare a foil sling by placing a long piece of heavy-duty aluminum foil in the bottom and up two sides of a 5-6 quart slow cooker, ensuring it's below the rim for the lid to fit well. Spray with cooking spray.
- In a medium-large bowl, whisk together milk, eggs, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, sea salt, dried parsley, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper. Stir in the panko breadcrumbs and dried minced onion, letting it soak for 5 minutes.
- Add the ground beef to the prepared mixture and combine gently—avoid overmixing to keep the meatloaf tender.
- Shape the meat mixture into a large oval loaf and place it on the foil sling inside the slow cooker.
- Prepare the glaze by mixing together the glaze ingredients. Reserve half in the fridge, and spread the other half over the meatloaf, ensuring raw meat does not touch the reserved glaze.
- Cover the slow cooker with the lid and cook on HIGH for 2.5-3 hours or LOW for 5-6 hours, until the internal temperature reaches 160°F.
- Once cooked, add the remaining glaze on top. Remove any unsightly spots if desired.
- Allow the meatloaf to rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Drain juices from the foil before lifting the meatloaf out to avoid spills.
Notes
Using a mix of ground beef and pork adds richness to the meatloaf.
Feel free to adjust seasonings based on your taste preferences.
For a sweeter glaze, increase the amount of brown sugar in the glaze.
