Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 cup onion, diced
- 6 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 pound ground pork
- 1 pound ground beef
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup panko breadcrumbs
- 3 tablespoons meatloaf seasoning, click link for the recipe
- 2 tablespoons worcestershire sauce
Meatloaf Glaze
- ½ cup ketchup
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 2 teaspoons meatloaf seasoning
Instructions
- 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.
- This recipe makes 8 slices of meatloaf. I recommend planning for 2 slices of meatloaf per person, so this recipe will serve 4 people. If you’d like to double the recipe and make two meatloaves, simply click the 2X button above. The ingredient amounts will automatically update and the only thing you’ll need to do is form the meat mixture into two meatloaves and make sure that you can fit both of them in your Crock Pot, or use two separate slow cookers.
- 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.
