THE BEST CROCKPOT MEATLOAF

The most amazing meatloaf recipe, made so easily in your slow cooker!  No more waiting over an hour for meatloaf after you get home from work.

INGREDIENTS

MEATLOAF

• 2 lbs. ground beef
• 1 large yellow onion, finely minced (divided)
• 2 boxes (6 oz each) dried stuffing mix (I like the savory herbs variety)
• 1 1/3 - 1 1/2 cups whole milk
• 2 large eggs
• 2 Tbsp glaze (see below)
• 1 tsp kosher salt
• 1/2 tsp black pepper

BROWN SUGAR KETCHUP GLAZE

• 1 1/2 cups ketchup
• 1/4 cup light brown sugar
• 2 Tbsp finely minced onion
• 1 Tbsp yellow mustard
• 2 tsp white vinegar
• 1/2 tsp black pepper

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Tear off a large strip of aluminum foil (heavy duty works well), and press it into the bottom and up two of the sides of a 6 quart or larger slow cooker. Spray lightly with non-stick cooking spray, then set aside.
2. Add ground beef, all but 2 Tbsp of the minced onion, stuffing mix, milk, eggs, 2 Tbsp glaze, salt and pepper. Use your hands to mix until just combined.
3. Combine all ketchup glaze ingredients in a small mixing bowl and whisk to combine.  Set aside.
4. Shape into an oval-like shape and place into the foil lined crockpot. Top with ½ cup of the glaze, cover, and cook on LOW for 6 hours.
5. When finished cooking, carefully lift out the meatloaf, using the foil overhang, and place on a baking sheet. Top with 2/3 cup of the glaze and broil until glaze is sticky and bubbly.
6. Serve sliced, with remaining glaze sauce served on the side for drizzling.
