Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Ground beef
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 cup Breadcrumbs
- 0.5 cup Milk
- 1 medium, finely chopped Onion
- 2 minced Garlic cloves
- 0.5 cup Ketchup
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 tablespoon Mustard
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, eggs, breadcrumbs, milk, chopped onion, minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Mix gently with your hands until everything is just combined. Do not overmix to ensure a tender meatloaf.
Line the bottom of your crockpot with a long strip of aluminum foil (this makes it easier to lift the meatloaf out later). Spray the foil with non-stick cooking spray.
Shape the meat mixture into a loaf and place it into the prepared crockpot.
In a small bowl, mix the ketchup, mustard, and brown sugar. Spread half the mixture evenly over the top of the meatloaf.
Cover the crockpot with the lid and cook on LOW for 4 hours, or until the internal temperature of the meatloaf reaches 160°F (71°C).
30 minutes before the cooking time is up, spread the remaining ketchup mixture over the meatloaf for a glossy, flavorful glaze.
When done, carefully lift the meatloaf out of the crockpot using the foil as a sling. Let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Enjoy your melt-in-your-mouth crockpot meatloaf with mashed potatoes or roasted vegetables!
