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 the slow cooker by placing a heavy-duty aluminum foil sling in the bottom and up two sides of a 5-6 quart slow cooker, ensuring it stays below the rim. Spray with cooking spray.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together 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, allowing it to soak for 5 minutes.
- Add the ground beef to the egg mixture and mix gently until combined, taking care not to overmix to avoid a tough meatloaf.
- Shape the mixture into a large oval loaf and place it on the foil sling in the slow cooker.
- For the glaze, combine the ketchup, light brown sugar, and yellow mustard. Reserve half of the glaze in the fridge and spread the remaining half over the meatloaf without cross-contaminating with raw meat utensils.
- Cover and cook on HIGH for 2.5-3 hours or on LOW for 5-6 hours, until the internal temperature reaches 160°F.
- After cooking, top with the reserved glaze. If any odd-looking spots are present, scrape them off if preferred.
- Allow the meatloaf to rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
Using a mix of ground beef and pork adds extra flavor and richness.
Ensure the internal temperature reaches 160°F for safe consumption.
Let the meatloaf rest before slicing to maintain its juiciness.
