Ingredients

• 2 pounds Ground beef
• 1 cup Breadcrumbs
• 0.5 cup Milk
• 2 pieces Large eggs
• 1 medium Yellow onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 0.5 cup Ketchup
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon Dried parsley
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.25 cup Ketchup (for topping)
• 1 tablespoon Brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon Yellow mustard

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, milk, eggs, onion, garlic, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, dried parsley, salt, and black pepper.

Step 2

Using clean hands or a large spoon, mix until all ingredients are evenly combined. Be careful not to over-mix, as this can make the meatloaf dense.

Step 3

Shape the mixture into a loaf shape and place it in the bottom of the crock pot. Alternatively, line the crock pot with parchment paper or aluminum foil to make it easier to lift out the meatloaf later.

Step 4

In a small bowl, mix the ketchup, brown sugar, and mustard for the topping. Spread this mixture evenly over the top of the meatloaf.

Step 5

Cover the crock pot with its lid and cook on low for 4 hours or until the internal temperature of the meatloaf reaches 160°F (72°C).

Step 6

Once cooked, carefully remove the meatloaf using a spatula or by lifting out the parchment paper or foil. Let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.

Step 7

Serve warm with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, steamed vegetables, or a fresh salad.
