Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 lbs Ground beef (80/20 blend)
- 1 cup Breadcrumbs
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.5 cup Milk
- 0.5 cup Onion (finely chopped)
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 0.25 cup Ketchup (for meatloaf mixture)
- 2 tbsp Parsley (chopped)
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 0.5 cup Ketchup (for topping)
- 2 tbsp Brown sugar
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, eggs, milk, onion, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, 1/4 cup ketchup, parsley, salt, and pepper.
Mix the ingredients gently using your hands or a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix, as this can make the meatloaf dense.
On a clean sheet of parchment paper or foil, shape the meat mixture into a loaf shape that will fit into your crock pot. Transfer the loaf carefully into the crock pot.
In a small bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup ketchup, brown sugar, and Dijon mustard to make the topping sauce.
Spread the topping evenly over the meatloaf in the crock pot using a spoon or a spatula.
Cover the crock pot with the lid and cook on LOW for 6 hours, or until the internal temperature of the meatloaf reaches 160°F (71°C).
Carefully remove the meatloaf from the crock pot using a large spatula or by lifting it out with the parchment paper or foil.
Optional: Place the meatloaf under the broiler in your oven for 3-5 minutes to caramelize the topping further.
Let the meatloaf rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm with your favorite sides.
