Ingredients
- Meatloaf:
- Finely chopped a single onion
- A cup of mushroom, finely chopped
- Three-fourth cup of milk
- Two-thirds cup of seasoned bread crumbs
- Two beaten eggs
- A teaspoon of salt
- One and a half pounds of ground beef
- Glaze:
- Half a cup of ketchup
- A quarter cup of brown sugar
- Two teaspoons of ground mustard
- A teaspoon of Worcestershire sauce
Step 1
Combine a medley of diced onions, sliced mushrooms, creamy milk, breadcrumbs, whisked eggs, and a pinch of salt in a spacious mixing bowl. Then, gently crumble the ground beef into the flavorful onion blend and mix well. Form this savory meat mixture into a traditional round loaf shape and carefully transfer it into the welcoming embrace of a 5-quart slow cooker.
Step 2
Allow the meatloaf to cook lovingly on a Low setting until it reaches a perfectly cooked state, usually around 5 to 6 hours. To ensure its readiness, use an instant-read thermometer - a reading of at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C) at the center is ideal.
Step 3
In a separate small bowl, craft a delectable glaze by combining tangy ketchup, rich brown sugar, zesty mustard, and savory Worcestershire sauce. Delicately drizzle this flavorful concoction over the prepared meatloaf.
Step 4
Continue to cook the glazed meatloaf until the luscious glaze is gently warmed, typically taking around 15 minutes. Once done, transfer the delectable creation to a cutting board, allowing it to rest for a brief 10 minutes before indulging in the joy of slicing and serving.
Extra Tips & Suggestions
- 1. Keep your mushrooms fresh by storing them in a paper bag in the refrigerator. This will help them stay dry and prevent them from getting slimy.
- 2. To prevent your meatloaf from drying out, store it in an airtight container or wrap it tightly in plastic wrap before placing it in the refrigerator.
