Make the best Crock Pot Meatloaf with this easy recipe! Prep this juicy, tender meatloaf in the morning, toss it in the slow cooker, then come home to a delicious dinner in the evening. The secret to this Crock Pot Meatloaf recipe is my homemade meatloaf seasoning, it's full of flavor and makes the best tasting meatloaf ever!
Line a Crock Pot with heavy-duty aluminum foil, or a Crock Pot liner. This will make it easy to remove the meatloaf after it’s cooked, and will make clean-up so easy.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet on the stove over medium high heat.
Add the onions, saute for 4-5 minutes, add the garlic and saute for an additional minute. Remove from the heat and set aside.
Add the ground pork, ground beef, eggs, breadcrumbs, 3 tablespoons meatloaf seasoning and 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce to a large bowl.
Add the cooked onion and garlic, then use your hands to combine everything, but do not over mix it, or the meatloaf will become tough.
Form the mixture into a loaf shape.
Place the meatloaf in the lined Crock Pot, or slow cooker.
In a small bowl, make the meatloaf glaze by combining the ketchup, brown sugar, 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce and 2 teaspoons meatloaf seasoning.
Brush the meatloaf in the Crock Pot with half of the meatloaf glaze.
Cook for 6-8 hours on low, or 3-4 hours on high.
Before serving, brush the meatloaf with the remaining meatloaf glaze.
Grab the sides of the foil and lift the meatloaf out of the Crock Pot. Drain off any grease into an aluminum can, or other container, and discard it.
Rest the meatloaf for at least 15 minutes after you remove it from the slow cooker. Otherwise it will crumble apart as you slice it.
Cut into 8 slices and serve.
Notes
You can make the meatloaf ahead of time. Store it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days before you cook the meatloaf in a Crock Pot.
If you’d like to cook potatoes with the meatloaf, cut 1-2 pounds of red potatoes in half. Toss them with 1 tablespoon olive oil and 2 teaspoons of the meatloaf seasoning (or 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper and 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder). Place them in the slow cooker around the meatloaf and cook in the same time as the meatloaf.
To make this meatloaf keto, use pork panko instead of traditional panko bread crumbs. Glaze the meatloaf with this sugar-free bbq sauce recipe. This will reduce the carbs in half, to 7 1/2 total carbs and 6 net carbs per slice.
To make this recipe gluten free, use pork panko instead of traditional panko bread crumbs. Always check the label on the Worcestershire sauce to make sure that it’s gluten free. Lea and Perrins Worcestershire Sauce is gluten free.
Store meatloaf leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 6 days. Reheat the leftover meatloaf in slices on the stove, in the microwave, or in the oven.
