Provided by Blair Lonergan

Categories     Dinner

Time 4h10m

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 lbs. lean ground beef (I use 85%-93% lean) or a "meatloaf mix" consisting of ground beef, ground veal and ground pork
1 cup finely diced onion
2 eggs
½ cup breadcrumbs ((I used Italian seasoned breadcrumbs, but any variety will work))
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 ½ teaspoons salt
¾ teaspoon pepper
¼ teaspoon dried thyme
½ cup ketchup

Steps:

  • Spray slow cooker with nonstick cooking spray.
  • Gently combine all ingredients (except ketchup) in a large bowl. Just be careful not to over-mix, or the meat will be tough. I like to use my hands for this!
  • Shape beef mixture into a loaf and place in the prepared slow cooker.
  • Spread a thin layer of ketchup over the top of the meatloaf.
  • Cover and cook on LOW for 4-6 hours or on HIGH for 2-3 hours, or until a meat thermometer inserted in the center of the meatloaf reads 160°F.
  • Remove meatloaf from slow cooker. Place on a cutting board, slice and serve.
