  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 lb ground pork
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 egg
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Topping

  • 1/2 cup ketchup

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, thoroughly mix the ground beef, ground pork, breadcrumbs, milk, egg, chopped onion, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
  2. Shape Meatloaf: Form the mixture into a loaf shape that will fit comfortably into your crockpot.
  3. Cook in Crockpot: Place the meatloaf into the crockpot and spread the ketchup evenly on top as a glaze.
  4. Slow Cook: Cover the crockpot and cook on the low setting for 6 to 8 hours until the meatloaf is fully cooked and reaches an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C).
  5. Serve: Once cooked, carefully remove the meatloaf from the crockpot, let it rest for a few minutes, then slice and serve warm.

Notes

  • Make sure the internal temperature of the meatloaf reaches 160°F for safe consumption.
  • For a thicker glaze, mix ketchup with a teaspoon of brown sugar or a dash of Worcestershire sauce before spreading on top.
  • You can substitute whole milk with almond milk or any milk alternative for a lighter option.
  • Adding finely chopped vegetables like bell peppers or carrots can boost nutrition and flavor.
  • Using a liner for your crockpot can make cleanup easier.
