Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds ground beef (80/20)
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 0.25 cup whole milk
- 2 pieces large egg
- 0.5 cup yellow onion, finely chopped
- 0.5 cup ketchup
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- 0.25 cup ketchup (for topping)
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon yellow mustard
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, milk, eggs, chopped onion, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and parsley. Mix gently with your hands until just combined.
Shape the mixture into a loaf and transfer it to a piece of parchment paper or foil. Gently place the loaf into the slow cooker, ensuring it retains its shape.
In a small bowl, whisk together the topping ingredients: 1/4 cup ketchup, brown sugar, and yellow mustard. Spoon the mixture over the top of the meatloaf, spreading it evenly.
Cover the slow cooker with the lid and cook on low heat for 4 hours, or until the internal temperature of the meatloaf reaches 160°F (71°C).
Once cooked, carefully lift the meatloaf out of the slow cooker using the parchment paper or foil. Let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing.
Serve warm with your choice of side dishes such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a fresh green salad.
