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. Ensure the sling stays below the rim for the lid to close properly. Spray with cooking spray.
- In a bowl, whisk together the 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. Let it soak for 5 minutes.
- Add the ground beef to the egg mixture and mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix to prevent a tough meatloaf.
- Shape the mixture into a large oval loaf and place it on the foil sling in the slow cooker.
- Prepare the glaze by stirring together the glaze ingredients. Reserve half in the fridge, and spread the other half over the meatloaf without contaminating the reserved glaze.
- Cover the slow cooker with the lid and cook on HIGH for 2.5-3 hours or on LOW for 5-6 hours, until the internal temperature reaches 160°F.
- After cooking, top with the remaining glaze. If any areas look unusual, scrape them off gently as they are just protein.
- Let the meatloaf rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Drain the juices from the foil sling carefully prior to lifting it out.
Notes
For easier removal, be cautious when lifting the meatloaf from the slow cooker; let the juices drain first.
Using a mix of ground beef and ground pork gives added flavor and moisture to the meatloaf.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
