Ingredients
  

Meatloaf

  • 2 lbs. ground beef
  • 1 large yellow onion, minced finely
  • 2 boxes (6 oz each) dried stuffing mix (savory herbs variety preferred)
  • 1 1/3 - 1 1/2 cups whole milk
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 Tbsp glaze (recipe below)
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper

Glaze

  • 1 1/2 cups ketchup
  • 1/4 cup light brown sugar
  • 2 Tbsp finely minced onion
  • 1 Tbsp yellow mustard
  • 2 tsp white vinegar
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper

Instructions
 

Meatloaf

  • Line slow cooker:

    Cut a large piece of heavy-duty aluminum foil and line the bottom and two sides of a 6-quart or larger slow cooker. Coat lightly with non-stick spray and set aside.
  • Whisk glaze:

    In a small bowl, whisk together all glaze ingredients until well combined. Reserve.
  • Mix meatloaf:

    In a large bowl, combine ground beef, minced onion, stuffing mix, milk, eggs, 2 Tbsp of the glaze, salt, and pepper. Mix with your hands until just incorporated.
  • Form and cook:

    Form the mixture into an oval loaf and place it into the foil-lined slow cooker. Spread 1/2 cup of the glaze over the top. Cover and cook on LOW for 6 hours.
  • Broil glaze:

    After cooking, lift the meatloaf out using the foil overhang and transfer to a baking sheet. Top with 2/3 cup of the glaze and broil until the glaze is sticky and bubbly.

Glaze

  • Slice and serve:

    Slice and serve with the remaining glaze on the side for drizzling.
