When my husband and I were first married, he refused to eat meat loaf because he said it was bland and dry. Then I prepared this version, and it became his favorite meal. -Suzanne Codner, Starbuck, Minnesota

MELT-IN-YOUR-MOUTH CROCKPOT MEATLOAF



Melt-In-Your-Mouth Crockpot Meatloaf image

I can't take credit for this recipe. It came from one of my Taste of Home magazine years ago. I can say that it is truly the easiest and best meatloaf EVER! The texture is perfect for sandwiches the next day, and the sauce adds a slight sweetness you don't get from the typical plain ketchup on the top. My picky daughter loves it, which says a LOT She hates finding chunks of onions or peppers in meatloaf and this recipe solves that beautifully. Oh, and it doubles wonderfully if you have a larger crockpot. Use tin foil strips to aid in removal. ENJOY!!

Melt-In-Your-Mouth Meat Loaf in Slow Cooker image

I came across this recipe & it was the best I have ever made!!! NO leftovers in our house so it was definitely a huge hit. I usually double my recipe since I have a 5-quart slow cooker. I came across this recipe on allrecipes.com & I highly recommend it.

TOPPING ON MEATHLOAF
I USUALLY DOUBLE THIS TOPPING PART SO THAT IT COVERS THE WHOLE MEATLOAF - IT'S ALL IN WHAT YOU PREFER. THIS IS NOT THE DOUBLED RECIPE.
1/4 c ketchup
2 Tbsp brown sugar
1 tsp ground mustard
1/2 tsp worcestershire sauce
MEATLOAF MIXTURE
2 eggs
3/4 c milk
2/3 c bread crumbs, seasone
1/2 c mushroom pieces
1 pkg lipton beefy onion soup mix
1-1/2 lb ground beef
COMBINE EGGS, MILK, BREAD CRUMBS, LIPTON BEEFY ONION SOUP, & MUSHROOMS IN A LARGE BOWL. CRUMBLE GROUND BEEF OVER MIXTURE AND STIR WELL TO COMBINE. SHAPE INTO A ROUND LOAF; PLACE IN A 5-QUART SLOW COOKER. COVER & COOK ON LOW 5-6 HOURS.
I USUALLY USE 3 LBS. OF GROUND BEEF SO I WILL DOUBLE THIS RECIPE. THE RECIPE I POSTED IS NOT THE DOUBLED VERSION. THE COOKING TIME I ADD AN EXTRA HOUR.

Steps:

  • 1. MEAT LOAF MIXTURE: Combine eggs, milk, bread crumbs, beefy lipton onion soup, mushrooms in a large bowl. Crumble ground beef over mixture and stir well to combine. Shape into a round loaf; place in a 5-quart slow cooker. Cover and cook on Low for 5 to 6 hours. Grease from the ground beef will accumulate at the bottom of your slow cooker & there is NO need to add liquid and/or grease your slow cooker prior to placing the meatloaf in the slower cooker I have made this many times and have NEVER had a problem with it scorching and/or burning @ the bottom or on the sides. I do, however, pull it out of my slow cooker about a 1/2 prior to it being served . . . add the sauce (topping) and place it in 13x9 pan to help dry it out a bit from the grease and add the sauce and DO NOT cover it. I NEVER have leftovers & this is the best the meatloaf recipe I have come across and wanted to sharted. I also always double the sauce that goes on top and I do use 3 lbs. of ground beef so I just doulbe that part of the recipel
  • 2. TOPPING FOR MEATLOAF: Whisk ketchup, brown sugar, ground mustard, and Worcestershire sauce in a small bowl; spoon sauce over meatloaf. Return to slow cooker and cook on Low until heated through, about 15 minutes. Let stand 10 minutes before cutting. I DO PULL MY MEATLOAF OUT & put in a 13x9 & then put this sauce on. I usually put it in the oven for 30 mins. @ 350 degrees to dry it out just a bit UNCOVERED ... You WILL NOT be disappointed!!

Tips:

  • Choose the right ground beef: For a moist and flavorful meatloaf, use a combination of ground chuck and ground sirloin. This ratio provides a good balance of fat and lean meat.
  • Don't overwork the meat: Overworking the meat can make it tough. Mix the ingredients together just until they are combined.
  • Use a loaf pan with a lid: This will help to keep the meatloaf moist and prevent it from drying out.
  • Cook the meatloaf on low heat: This will help to prevent the meatloaf from becoming dry or overcooked.
  • Let the meatloaf rest before slicing: This will help to keep the juices in the meatloaf and prevent it from falling apart.

Conclusion:

This crockpot meatloaf recipe is an easy and delicious way to make a classic comfort food. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a moist and flavorful meatloaf that your whole family will love. Serve it with your favorite sides for a complete and satisfying meal.
