  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 lb ground pork
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 egg
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Topping

Instructions

  1. Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine ground beef, ground pork, breadcrumbs, milk, egg, chopped onion, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated.
  2. Form Loaf: Shape the meat mixture into a loaf shape that fits comfortably inside your crockpot.
  3. Prepare Crockpot: Place the meatloaf into the crockpot, and spread ketchup evenly over the top for a tangy, sweet glaze.

  • You can substitute ketchup topping with barbecue sauce for a different flavor.
  • If preferred, add chopped herbs like parsley or thyme for extra aroma.
  • Crockpot size affects cooking time; adjust accordingly.
