Calories: 582kcal
Ingredients
- 2 lbs ground beef
- 1 ¼ cup Ritz Crackers (crushed)
- 2 large eggs
- ⅔ cup ketchup
- 2 tbsp yellow mustard
- ¾ cup milk
- 1 ½ tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 ½ tsp black pepper
- 1 packet Lipton onion soup
The Glaze
- ⅔ cup Ketchup
- 2 tbsp brown sugar
- 1 tbsp yellow mustard
Instructions
- Add ground beef, Ritz crackers, eggs, ketchup, mustard, milk, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, salt, black pepper, and onion soup in a large bowl. Use your hands to mix until just combined.
- Line the slow cooker with aluminum foil across the bottom and up the two sides. Shape the meat mixture into an oval shape and place it into the slow cooker.
- Cover and cook on low for 6 hours or on high for 3 hours.
- Thirty minutes before the final cooking time is done. Add ingredients for the glaze in a small bowl. Then top the meatloaf with the glaze, cover, and cook remaining 30 minutes.
- Slice and serve while hot.
Notes
- Don’t overmix the ingredients into the ground beef, or you will squeeze out the moisture and make the meatloaf tough and dry.
- Place the meatloaf in the oven under the broiler for a few minutes after you apply the glaze to make it crispy and golden brown.
- Use chicken or beef broth instead of milk to make the recipe dairy-free.
