Coming home to this delicious meatloaf is the best feeling in the world! Without the hassle and stress, I can make our favourite and the best meatloaf any time, even on the busiest days. This crockpot version is an easy way to enjoy the classic without the fuss.
Ingredients
MEATLOAF:
2 pounds ground beef
1 large yellow onion, finely minced (divided)
2 boxes (6 ounces each) dried stuffing mix (I like the savoury herbs variety)
1 1/3 – 1 1/2 c. whole milk
2 large Eggs
2 tablespoons glaze (see below)
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
BROWN SUGAR KETCHUP GLAZE:
1 1/2 c. ketchup
1/4 c. light brown sugar
2 tablespoons finely minced onion
1 tablespoon yellow mustard
2 teaspoons white vinegar
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
How to make The Best Crockpot Meatloaf
Step 1: After tearing off a large strip of aluminium foil, press it into the bottom of a 6-quart or large slow cooker up to the sides. And using a non-stick cooking spray, lightly grease the foil. Set aside.
Step 2: In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, most of the minced onion (reserving 2tbsp for later), stuffing mix, milk, eggs, 2 Tbsp glaze, salt, and pepper with your hands until just combined.
Step 3: In a small mixing bowl, place the ketchup glaze ingredients and whisk until everything is incorporated, then set aside.
Step 4: Form the mixture into an oval shape and put it into the prepared foil-lined crockpot. Pour the glaze over before covering the pot. Set on low and cook for 6 hours.
Step 5: Lift the meatloaf out very carefully when done cooking using the overhanging foil and transfer it on a baking sheet. Top the meatloaf with the remaining 2/3 cup of glaze. Broil until the glaze is sticky and bubbly.
Step 6: Slice before serving and serve with the rest of the glaze sauce. Enjoy!
Tip:
To make this in the oven, ready the glaze and meatloaf mixture as directed. Form the meatloaf, brush with the glaze, and place in a greased meatloaf pan or baking dish. Bake the meatloaf for about 60 to 70 minutes in a preheated 350 degrees F oven.
