Categories     Main Course

Time 6h15m

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 small sweet onion (peeled and grated)
1 cup whole milk
2 large eggs (lightly beaten)
2 Tablespoons light brown sugar (packed)
1 Tablespoon ketchup
1 Tablespoon bbq sauce
1 Tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 Tablespoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon kosher salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
1 cup plain panko breadcrumbs
2 pounds ground beef ((85/15))
½ cup ketchup
½ cup bbq sauce
¼ cup light brown sugar (packed)
fresh chopped parsley for garnish (optional)

Steps:

  • Line the crock pot with a large piece of heavy-duty foil, spray with cooking spray, and set aside.
  • In a large bowl add the grated onion, milk, eggs, brown sugar, ketchup, bbq sauce, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  • Whisk this mixture until fully combined.
  • Add in the breadcrumbs. Stir in the breadcrumbs until mixed well.
  • Next, add the ground beef.
  • Using your hands, mix everything together until well combined but do not overmix.
  • Add the mixture to the aluminum foil in the slow cooker, and form it into a long oval shape, set aside.
  • In a small bowl add the ketchup, bbq sauce, and brown sugar. Whisk this mixture together to make the glaze.
  • Brush half of the glaze on top of the meatloaf. Cook on low for 6 hours or until the internal temperature reaches at least 165°F.
  • Take the meatloaf out of the crockpot using the foil to help lift it out. Place on a sheet tray and brush the remaining glaze on top.
  • Broil until the glaze is bubbly and starts to brown slightly. Serve with optional parsley garnish.

CROCKPOT MEATLOAF



Crockpot Meatloaf image

Just set it and forget it! You can "bake" a classic comfort food dinner in your slow cooker with this easy crockpot meatloaf recipe.

Provided by Blair Lonergan

Categories     Dinner

Time 4h10m

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 lbs. lean ground beef (I use 85%-93% lean) or a "meatloaf mix" consisting of ground beef, ground veal and ground pork
1 cup finely diced onion
2 eggs
½ cup breadcrumbs ((I used Italian seasoned breadcrumbs, but any variety will work))
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 ½ teaspoons salt
¾ teaspoon pepper
¼ teaspoon dried thyme
½ cup ketchup

Steps:

  • Spray slow cooker with nonstick cooking spray.
  • Gently combine all ingredients (except ketchup) in a large bowl. Just be careful not to over-mix, or the meat will be tough. I like to use my hands for this!
  • Shape beef mixture into a loaf and place in the prepared slow cooker.
  • Spread a thin layer of ketchup over the top of the meatloaf.
  • Cover and cook on LOW for 4-6 hours or on HIGH for 2-3 hours, or until a meat thermometer inserted in the center of the meatloaf reads 160°F.
  • Remove meatloaf from slow cooker. Place on a cutting board, slice and serve.

MELT-IN-YOUR-MOUTH CROCKPOT MEATLOAF



Melt-In-Your-Mouth Crockpot Meatloaf image

I can't take credit for this recipe. It came from one of my Taste of Home magazine years ago. I can say that it is truly the easiest and best meatloaf EVER! The texture is perfect for sandwiches the next day, and the sauce adds a slight sweetness you don't get from the typical plain ketchup on the top. My picky daughter loves it, which says a LOT She hates finding chunks of onions or peppers in meatloaf and this recipe solves that beautifully. Oh, and it doubles wonderfully if you have a larger crockpot. Use tin foil strips to aid in removal. ENJOY!!
