  • Total Time: 6 hours 15 minutes
  • Yield: 8 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale

2 pounds ground beef

1 large yellow onion, finely minced

2 boxes (6 ounces each) dried stuffing mix (savory herbs variety recommended)

1 1/3 to 1 1/2 cups whole milk

2 large eggs

2 tablespoons glaze (prepared from the glaze ingredients below)

1 teaspoon kosher salt

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1 1/2 cups ketchup

1/4 cup light brown sugar

2 tablespoons finely minced onion

1 tablespoon yellow mustard

2 teaspoons white vinegar

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

1-First, line a 6-quart or larger slow cooker with heavy-duty aluminum foil and lightly spray it with non-stick cooking spray. This makes cleanup easy and helps lift the meatloaf out later. In a small bowl, combine all glaze ingredients and whisk until well mixed, then set it aside for later use.

2-Next, in a large bowl, mix the ground beef, finely minced onion, dried stuffing mix, 1 1/3 to 1 1/2 cups whole milk, 2 large eggs, 2 tablespoons of the prepared glaze, 1 teaspoon kosher salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper using your hands until just combined. Shape the mixture into an oval loaf and place it on the foil in the slow cooker, then top with 1/2 cup of the glaze.

3-Cover and cook on low for 6 hours, allowing the flavors to blend beautifully. Once done, carefully lift the meatloaf using the foil overhang and transfer it to a baking sheet. Top with 2/3 cup of the glaze and broil until it’s sticky and bubbly, then slice and serve with the remaining glaze on the side.

Notes

πŸ₯© Use ground beef with an 80/20 or 85/15 fat-to-lean ratio for moisture and flavor.
πŸ‘‹ Mix ingredients only until combined to avoid a tough meatloaf.
🌿 Line the slow cooker with foil for easy removal and simple cleanup.
