Equipment
- slow cooker
Ingredients
- 2 lbs ground beef
- 1 large yellow onion finely chopped
- 2 boxes dried stuffing mix (6 oz each, savory herbs preferred)
- 1 1/3 - 1 1/2 cups whole milk
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1 1/2 cups ketchup
- 1/4 cup light brown sugar
- 2 Tbsp finely chopped onion
- 1 Tbsp yellow mustard
- 2 tsp white vinegar
- 2 Tbsp glaze from the ketchup mixture
Instructions
- Begin by preparing a large piece of aluminum foil, pressing it into the base and up the sides of your slow cooker. Lightly spray it with non-stick cooking spray and set it aside.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the ingredients for the ketchup glaze until blended and set it aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, chopped onion, dried stuffing mix, milk, eggs, 2 tablespoons of the prepared glaze, salt, and pepper. Mix well until just combined using your hands.
- Shape the mixture into an oval and position it in the slow cooker lined with foil. Pour half a cup of the glaze over the top and cover the cooker. Let it cook on LOW for 6 hours.
- Once cooking is completed, carefully use the foil to lift the meatloaf from the cooker and transfer it to a baking sheet. Top it with two-thirds cup of the glaze and broil until the glaze bubbles and becomes sticky.
- Slice the meatloaf and serve it with the remaining glaze drizzled on top. Enjoy your meal!
