Ingredients

• 2 lbs Ground beef (80/20 blend)
• 1 cup Breadcrumbs
• 2 large Eggs
• 0.5 cup Milk
• 0.5 cup Onion (finely chopped)
• 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
• 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
• 0.25 cup Ketchup (for meatloaf mixture)
• 2 tbsp Parsley (chopped)
• 1 tsp Salt
• 0.5 tsp Black pepper
• 0.5 cup Ketchup (for topping)
• 2 tbsp Brown sugar
• 1 tsp Dijon mustard

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, eggs, milk, onion, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, 1/4 cup ketchup, parsley, salt, and pepper.

Step 2

Mix the ingredients gently using your hands or a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix, as this can make the meatloaf dense.

Step 3

On a clean sheet of parchment paper or foil, shape the meat mixture into a loaf shape that will fit into your crock pot. Transfer the loaf carefully into the crock pot.

Step 4

In a small bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup ketchup, brown sugar, and Dijon mustard to make the topping sauce.

Step 5

Spread the topping evenly over the meatloaf in the crock pot using a spoon or a spatula.

Step 6

Cover the crock pot with the lid and cook on LOW for 6 hours, or until the internal temperature of the meatloaf reaches 160°F (71°C).

Step 7

Carefully remove the meatloaf from the crock pot using a large spatula or by lifting it out with the parchment paper or foil.

Step 8

Optional: Place the meatloaf under the broiler in your oven for 3-5 minutes to caramelize the topping further.

Step 9

Let the meatloaf rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm with your favorite sides.
