Servings: 8
Ingredients
Meatloaf Mixture
- 2 lbs Ground Beef
- 1 tsp Salt (or to taste)
- ½ tsp Pepper
- 2 Eggs
- ½ cup Bread Crumbs
- ⅓ cup Milk
- ½ tsp Smoked Paprika
- ½ tsp Thyme
- 1 tsp Onion Powder
- 2 tsp Garlic Powder
- ½ Onion, finely diced or grated (optional)
- 1 Tbsp Yellow Mustard
- ¼ cup Ketchup
Sauce Topping
- 3 Tbsp Real Maple Syrup (or 2 Tbsp brown sugar)
- ½ cup Ketchup
- 1 tsp Liquid Smoke
Instructions
- Mix the meatloaf ingredients together in a large mixing bowl. Don't overwork the meat as it will yield a denser meatloaf.
- Form a loaf that is of even thickness, and doesn't touch the edges of the crock.
- OPTIONAL: Make a sling from a long piece of foil folded 3 times lengthwise. Lay the sling in the bottom of the crock and place the meatloaf over it. This will help you get the meatloaf out of the crock easily.
- Place the meatloaf in the crock (use optional sling, if desired) not letting the loaf touch the edges of the crock.
- Mix together the sauce topping ingredients.
- Spread half of the sauce topping over the top of the loaf.
- Cook on Low for 6-7 hours or on High for 3-4 hours, or until the center reads 160° F.
- Spread the remaining sauce topping over the meatloaf.
- Remove the meatloaf to a serving dish and let stand 5-10 minutes before slicing.
- Serve with veggies and/or mashed potatoes.
