Everyone loves an old fashion meatloaf dish! My family goes crazy for this recipe and I just need to share it. If you have a crockpot at home, we’re going to put it to use today.

Check out the recipe below on how you can quickly put together a meatloaf dinner for your family. It’s just as moist and delicious as it would be coming out of the oven. Then serve this with your favorite fixings for a meal full of flavor.

Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons olive oil

• 2 cups onions, diced

• 2 teaspoons kosher salt

• Freshly ground pepper, to taste

• 2 tablespoons tomato paste

• ⅓ cup chicken broth

• 3 tablespoons soy sauce

• 3 pounds lean ground beef

• ½ cup fresh parsley, finely chopped

• 2 eggs

• ½ cup breadcrumbs

• 1 cup ketchup

Directions

1. In a medium pan over medium heat, heat up the olive oil, then saute the onions until soft but not yet browned. Season with salt and pepper, then mix in the chicken broth, soy sauce, and tomato paste until well-combined. Set aside.

2. In a large mixing bowl, mix together the ground beef, sauteed onion mixture, parsley, eggs, and breadcrumbs until just combined – do not overmix.

3. Prepare your slow cooker with a lining of 3 sheets of foil, directly on top of each other. Fold the sides over to create a handle you can later use to remove the meatloaf.

4. Add the meatloaf mixture to the slow cooker on top of the foil and form into a loaf. Evenly spread ketchup on top, then cover and cook meatloaf on low about 4 hours, or until it reaches 160 degrees.

5. When meatloaf is cooked, carefully remove from the slow cooker using the foil handles. If desired, broil the meatloaf in the oven 2-5 minutes, or until the ketchup has caramelized. Enjoy!
