Instructions

  • Line a 4-6 quart crock pot with a large piece of heavy-duty foil, spray with cooking spray, and set aside.
  • In a large bowl add sweet onion, whole milk, eggs, light brown sugar, ketchup, bbq sauce, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, kosher salt and black pepper. Whisk this mixture until fully combined.
  • Add in plain panko breadcrumbs. Stir in the breadcrumbs until mixed well.
  • Next, add ground beef. Using your clean hands, mix everything together until well combined but do not over mix.
  • 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 ketchup, bbq sauce and light 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.
  • Optional: Broil in the oven until the glaze is bubbly and starts to brown slightly. Serve topped with fresh chopped parsley, for garnish.

Notes

Using a leaner meat such as an 85/15 like we did helps with excess grease. Do not over mix your meat mixture, this will make the meatloaf tough. You can skip the aluminum foil if desired, it helps lift out the meatloaf for serving easily.
