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!
How to Make It
Step 1
In a bowl, combine the ground chuck, salt, pepper, onion powder, paprika, caraway seed, egg, and parmesan.
Step 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.
Step 3
In a new, small bowl, combine the remaining ingredients into a sauce. Spread the sauce over the entire top of the meatloaf.
Step 4
Cook the meatloaf on high heat for 4 hours. This gives enough time for the edges to turn a dark golden brown.
Step 5
Once the meatloaf has finished cooking, slice it in half lengthwise, then slice it into 5 sections, making 10 pieces total.
