Ingredients

Meatloaf

2 pounds lean ground beef
1 cup sweet yellow onion, finely diced
¼ cup plain bread crumbs
½ cup plain panko bread crumbs
½ cup ketchup
2 large eggs
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoons heavy cream
2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon black pepper

Glaze

½ cup ketchup
2 tablespoons light brown sugar, packed
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon prepared mustard

Instructions

Line a 7-quart crockpot with aluminum foil, and lightly spray with nonstick spray. Set it aside.
Using a large mixing bowl add the ground beef, finely diced onion, the plain bread crumbs and the panko bread crumbs, ketchup, eggs, Worcestershire sauce, heavy cream, Italian seasoning, kosher salt, and black pepper.
To mix the meatloaf together, you can either use a large wooden spoon or your hands. If you are using your hands, please be sure to wear disposable gloves for safety. Mix all the ingredients until well combined.
Transfer the meat mixture into the prepared crockpot. Carefully and tightly shape the meatloaf into an oblong shape.
In a small mixing bowl, combine the glaze ingredients and stir until well combined. Using a basting brush, evenly spread the glaze on the top of the meatloaf.
Set the crockpot to 4 hours on high.

Notes

Sautee the onion before mixing it into the beef mixture. Sauteeing will release the onion’s flavors, making your meatloaf even more flavorful.
While messy, mixing the raw meatloaf mixture with your hands is the best way to make sure all the ingredients are well combined.
Don’t overmix, or your meatloaf will come out tough.
