Ingredients
Scale
- ⅓ 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)
- ⅓ cup ketchup
- 2 tablespoons light brown sugar
- ½ teaspoon yellow mustard
Instructions
- Prepare your slow cooker by creating a foil sling with heavy-duty aluminum foil, placing it in the bottom and up two sides of the slow cooker. Spray the foil with cooking spray.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk 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, and let it soak for 5 minutes.
- Add the ground beef to the egg mixture and mix gently until just combined to avoid overmixing.
- Shape the meat mixture into an oval loaf and place it on the foil sling in the slow cooker.
- Mix the glaze ingredients and set half aside in the fridge. Spread the remaining glaze over the meatloaf without mixing it with the utensils used for raw meat.
- Cover the slow cooker and cook on HIGH for 2.5-3 hours or LOW for 5-6 hours, until the internal temperature reaches 160°F.
- Once cooked, spread the reserved glaze over the meatloaf and scrape off any unsightly spots if desired.
- Let the meatloaf rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Drain any juices from the foil sling before lifting the meatloaf out.
Notes
For added flavor, consider using a mix of ground beef and ground pork.
Ensure that the foil sling is below the rim of the slow cooker lid for proper closure.
Resting the meatloaf is crucial for easy slicing.
