In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, milk, egg, diced onion, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
Shape the mixture into 4 small loaf shapes that fit easily into your crockpot.
Lightly spray the inside of your crockpot with non-stick cooking spray or line it with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Place the formed mini meatloaves into the crockpot, making sure they do not overlap.
In a small bowl, mix the ketchup, brown sugar, and Worcestershire sauce to create the glaze.
Spread the glaze evenly over the tops of the mini meatloaves using a spoon or brush.
Cover the crockpot with its lid and set it to the low setting.
Cook for 3 hours, or until the internal temperature of the meatloaves reaches 160Β°F (71Β°C) when checked with a meat thermometer.
Once cooked, carefully remove the meatloaves from the crockpot and let them rest for 5 minutes.
Garnish with chopped parsley if desired, and serve warm with your favorite sides!
