Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Crockpot Meatloaf
- Start by setting up your crockpot for success! Line the bottom with parchment paper or lightly spray it with non-stick cooking spray.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, eggs, milk, chopped onion, minced garlic, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, salt, black pepper, and dried parsley. Gently mix until just combined.
- Carefully shape the meat mixture into a loaf shape using your hands. Place it in the center of the prepared crockpot.
- Spread a generous layer of ketchup over the top of the shaped meatloaf.
- Cover the crockpot and cook on the low setting for about 6 hours, or on high for 3 to 4 hours.
- Once cooked, carefully remove the lid and let the meatloaf rest for about 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes
Overmixing can lead to a tough meatloaf. Mix ingredients just until combined for the perfect texture. Use a meat thermometer and ensure the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C). Don't skip resting time after cooking for moist slices.
