Ingredients

For The Meatloaf:

  • 2 pounds meatloaf mix (can also use all ground beef)
  • 1/2 cup finely diced onion
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tablespoon spicy brown mustard
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs
  • 2 tablespoons ketchup
  • 2 teaspoons kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 2 tablespoons chopped parsley

For The Glaze:

  • 1 cup ketchup
  • 2 tablespoons sweet chili sauce
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon dry mustard
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar

Instructions

  1. Add all of the ingredients for the meatloaf into a large bowl and mix together well (clean hands are best!).
  2. Spray the inside of a 6-8 quart slow cooker with non-stick cooking spray. Form the meat mixture into a loaf shape (see post for reference) and place into the slow cooker.
  3. Set on low for 7 hours or on high for 4 hours until the meatloaf is cooked through with no pink remaining.
  4. Mix the ingredients for the glaze together in a bowl. We like to drain the grease from the slow cooker before adding the glaze, an easy way to do this is with a turkey baster. If you don’t have one, use two spatulas on either side of the meatloaf to gently lift the loaf onto a board. Pour the grease out from the and then return the meatloaf back to the slow cooker. Pour the glaze on top and set the slow cooker to high for 30 minutes. Alternately, you can place the meatloaf on a baking sheet lined with non-stick foil, then pour the glaze on top and place under the boiler for 5 minutes.
