About

Ah, meatloaf: the tried and true meal that pulls every American through the week. Whether you’re meal prepping or feeding a whole family, you’ll enjoy this meatloaf because it’s tender, flavorful, and has a thick, sticky sauce on top. Set your meal in the Crock Pot and forget about it!

Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground chuck 80% lean 20% fat by kroger
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon mustard powder
  • ¼ teaspoon onion powder
  • 2 teaspoon paprika
  • ½ teaspoon caraway seed
  • 1 large raw egg
  • ¼ cup, shredded parmesan cheese
  • 1 tablespoon tomato ketchup
  • ½ tablespoon mayo
  • 1 clove garlic
  • ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper by simply organic

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, combine the ground chuck, salt, pepper, onion powder, paprika, caraway seed, egg, and parmesan.
  2. Press the meatloaf into a crock pot. Pack it down gently to fill the whole basin without making the meat too dense. Then, use a toothpick or skewer to create several holes through the meatloaf. This helps the cooking consistency and avoid shrinking.
  3. In a new, small bowl, combine the remaining ingredients into a sauce. Spread the sauce over the entire top of the meatloaf.
  4. Cook the meatloaf on high heat for 4 hours. This gives enough time for the edges to turn a dark golden brown.
  5. Once the meatloaf has finished cooking, slice it in half lengthwise, then slice it into 5 sections, making 10 pieces total.
  6. Enjoy!
