Slow Cooker Meatloaf
by usnret04
A moist meatloaf made with lean ground beef, onion, bell pepper, garlic and a crushed saltine binder, cooked in the crockpot. Served here with everyday mashed potatoes and southern green beans.
INGREDIENTS
- 1/4 cup Water
- 2 pounds Lean Ground Beef
- 1/2 cup Finely chopped onions
- 2 cloves Garlic ; minced
- 1 sleeve Saltine Crackers ; crushed fine
- 1/4 cup Green Bell Pepper ; minced
- 1/2 teaspoon Kosher Salt
- 1/4 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon Italian Seasoning
- 1/4 teaspoon Cajun Seasoning ; optional or to taste
- 1 large Egg ; beaten
- 1/4 cup Milk ; only if needed
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce ; optional
- 1/2 tablespoon Kitchen Bouquet ; optional
- 1/2 cup Ketchup
- 1 teaspoon Creole mustard
- 2 tablespoons Light brown sugar
INSTRUCTIONS
Place the 1/4 cup of water in the bottom of a 6 quart slow cooker. Add the ground beef to a large bowl and top with the minced vegetables, crushed saltines, seasonings and egg. Gently mix, adding milk only as needed to moisten. Form into a loaf and place into slow cooker.
Combine the Worcestershire and Kitchen Bouquet if using and brush over the top of the meatloaf. Cover and cook on low 5 to 6 hours, or until internal temperature reaches 160 degrees F in several places. Combine the glaze ingredients until well mixed; spread across the top of the meatloaf the last 15 minutes of cooking time. Use a wide spatula to carefully transfer meatloaf to a platter. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.

NOTES
Note: I used a 93/7 lean ground beef. Avoid using fattier cuts of ground beef as meatloaf may crumble from the accumulated fat. Instead of the glaze, you may also serve the meatloaf with a brown gravy.
