Ingredients

– 1 ½ pounds ground beef (or a mix of beef and pork)
– 1 cup breadcrumbs (or crushed crackers)
– 1 small onion, finely chopped
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 large egg
– 1 cup milk
– ½ cup ketchup (plus extra for topping)
– 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
– 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
– 1 teaspoon salt
– ½ teaspoon black pepper
– ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
– Fresh parsley, for garnish (optional)


Instructions

Making Crockpot Meatloaf is a breeze when you follow these easy steps:

1. Prepare the Mixture: In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, onion, garlic, egg, milk, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix until all ingredients are well incorporated.
2. Shape the Meatloaf: Transfer the meat mixture to a sheet of parchment paper or wax paper. Shape it into a loaf that fits comfortably in your crockpot.
3. Transfer to Crockpot: Place the shaped loaf directly into the crockpot. If desired, spread a layer of ketchup on top for added flavor.
4. Cook: Cover the crockpot with a lid. Cook on low for 6 to 8 hours or on high for 3 to 4 hours, until the meatloaf reaches an internal temperature of 160°F (70°C).
5. Check Doneness: A meat thermometer is the most accurate way to ensure properly cooked meat.
6. Rest the Meatloaf: Once cooked, carefully remove the meatloaf from the crockpot. Let it rest for about 10 minutes to allow juices to redistribute.
7. Slice and Serve: Use a sharp knife to slice the meatloaf into serving pieces.

Following these simple steps ensures that you’ll end up with a delicious and moist Crockpot Meatloaf every time!
