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
- ⅓ cup ketchup
- 2 tablespoons light brown sugar
- ½ teaspoon yellow mustard
Instructions
- Prepare the slow cooker by creating a foil sling that fits in the bottom and up two sides. Spray with cooking spray.
- In a bowl, whisk together milk, eggs, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, sea salt, dried parsley, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper. Stir in panko breadcrumbs and minced onion, letting it soak for 5 minutes.
- Add ground beef to the mixture from the previous step and combine gently without overmixing.
- Shape the meat mixture into a large oval loaf and place on the foil sling in the slow cooker.
- Prepare the glaze by mixing the glaze ingredients. Reserve half in the refrigerator. Spread the other half over the meatloaf.
- 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, top the meatloaf with the remaining glaze. Scrape off any tough spots if needed.
- Let the meatloaf rest for 10 minutes before slicing, draining any juices before lifting it from the slow cooker.
Notes
Ensure the foil sling stays below the rim for the lid to close properly.
Do not overmix the meat to keep the meatloaf tender.
Rest the meatloaf to allow juices to settle before slicing.
