Slow Cooker Meatloaf

February 10, 2014 by Katie Leave a Comment

I’ve made quite a few varieties of meatloaf in my blogging days.  I have never made a meatloaf in my slow cooker though.  That is, until now.

I stumbled across this recipe and was very intrigued by the onion and soy sauce mixture, so I decided to give it a try.  I’m glad that I did.  The soy sauce and tomato paste gave the onions great flavor.

It did take a little bit time to actually get the meat into the slow cooker.  But once it’s in, just let it go on low for about 4 hours.  (Your house will be filled with mouth-watering aromas during this time!)  When the timer goes off, you’ll be left with a perfectly cooked and flavorful meatloaf, not overly moist but also not dry.

Start with the onions…

  • Chop up 2 onions.

image

  • Heat some EVOO in a skillet over medium-high heat.

image

  • Once the oil is hot, add the onions.

image

  • Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are tender and translucent.

image

  • Season the onions with a teaspoon each of s&p.

image

image

image

  • Pour in 3 tablespoons of soy sauce.

image

image

  • Add 2 tablespoons of tomato paste.

image

  • Stir and let the tomato paste cook for about a minute.

image

  • Pour in ⅓ cup chicken broth.

image

  • Stir again and bring to a rapid simmer.

image

  • Remove from the heat and let cool a bit.

image

  • Place 3 pounds of ground beef in a large bowl.

image

  • Add ½ cup Italian style breadcrumbs.

image

  • Pour in 1½ tablespoons dried parsley.

image

  • Crack in 2 eggs.

image

  • Add the cooled onion mixture.

image

  • Mix well to combine all ingredients.

image

  • Line your slow cooker with tin foil.
  • Place the meat mixture in the slow cooker and form into a large loaf.

image

  • Spread about ½ cup ketchup on top of the meat.

image

  • Cover and cook on low for 4 hours.

image

image

  • After 4 hours, check the internal temperature of the meatloaf.  it should be 160°.

image

image

  • Carefully remove the cooked meatloaf from the slow cooker, using the tin foil as a carrying device.  (It really works!)

image

  • Let cool for a few minutes before slicing.

Serve with your favorite veggie (I went with spinach) and some creamy mashed potatoes.  (Both recipes coming soon!)

Enjoy!
