Ingredients

Glaze

  • ¾ cup ketchup
  • 2 tablespoons barbecue sauce
  • 1 tablespoon honey or brown sugar

Meatloaf

  • 2 lbs. ground beef
  • 1 sweet onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • ⅔ cup breadcrumbs
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley
  • ½ teaspoon crushed red pepper
  • ½ teaspoon marjoram or oregano
  • ¼ teaspoon dried thyme
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon fresh ground black pepper

Instructions

  • Stir together the ketchup, barbecue sauce, and honey; set aside.
  • Using your hands, gently mix the ground beef, onion, garlic, breadcrumbs, milk, eggs, parsley, crushed red pepper, marjoram, dried thyme, salt, and pepper.
  • Place a large piece of heavy-duty aluminum foil in the bottom of your crock pot. 
  • Add the meatloaf mixture and shape it into a loaf. Brush on a layer of the glaze. Cover the crockpot and turn it to low.
  • Cook on low for 4-6 hours or high for 2-3 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 160 degrees.
  • Baste it several times with the sauce. Once fully cooked, carefully lift the meatloaf out of the crock pot using the aluminum foil. 
  • Place it on a baking sheet and, very carefully, use the foil to drain off the excess moisture and fat.
  • If desired, place under the broiler for a few minutes to seal the glaze and lightly brown the top.

Notes

  • Store leftover meatloaf in a zipper-seal bag or in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave in short intervals at reduced power until warm.
