Ingredients:
1 lb ground beef (80% lean)
1 packet Lipton Onion Soup Mix (or any onion soup mix of choice)
1 large egg
1/2 cup breadcrumbs (preferably plain)
1/4 cup milk
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon ketchup (for the glaze)
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
Salt and pepper to taste
1 tablespoon olive oil (for greasing the slow cooker)
1/4 cup ketchup (for topping the meatloaf)
Instructions:
Prepare the Slow Cooker: Start by lightly greasing the inside of your slow cooker with olive oil to prevent the meatloaf from sticking. You can also line it with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Mix the Meatloaf Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, Lipton onion soup mix, egg, breadcrumbs, milk, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Use your hands or a spoon to mix the ingredients thoroughly until they’re well combined, but be careful not to overwork the mixture to avoid a dense meatloaf.
Shape the Meatloaf: Once the ingredients are mixed, transfer the meat mixture to the slow cooker. Shape it into a loaf shape, smoothing the top to ensure even cooking.
Top with Ketchup: Spread 1/4 cup of ketchup evenly over the top of the meatloaf for a flavorful glaze that adds a tangy sweetness.
Cook on Low: Cover the slow cooker with its lid and cook on the low setting for 6-8 hours, or until the meatloaf reaches an internal temperature of 160°F. The slow cooking process ensures a moist and tender meatloaf that’s packed with flavor.
Serve and Enjoy: Once done, carefully remove the meatloaf from the slow cooker using tongs or a spatula. Slice it into thick pieces and serve hot with your favorite side dishes.
