Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 4 hours
Servings 6

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons of olive oil
  • 2 cups of diced onions
  • 2 teaspoon of kosher salt
  • freshly ground pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons of tomato paste
  • 1/3 cup of low-sodium chicken broth
  • 3 tablespoons of soy sauce
  • 3 pounds of 85 percent lean ground beef
  • 1/2 cup of fresh parsley minced
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 cup of plain dry breadcrumbs
  • 1 cup of ketchup

Instructions

  • Pour olive oil in a sauté pan and cook unions until soft and translucent over medium low heat. You don't want them to start browning.
  • Add salt and pepper to the onions.
  • Stir in chicken broth, soy sauce, and tomato paste.
  • In a large bowl, combine meat, onion mixture, parsley, eggs, and breadcrumbs.
  • Use a fork to gently combine.
  • Don't overwork the meat mixture as this will make the meatloaf dense.
  • Prepare the slow cooker.
  • Use three sheets of foil laid over each other to line the slower cooker.
  • Fold sides of foil down to create handles you can use to remove the meatloaf from the slow cooker.
  • Place meatloaf mixture into slow cooker and form into loaf shape.
  • Pour ketchup over the top.
  • Cook meatloaf until it reaches 160 degrees. About 4 hours on low.
  • Once meatloaf is cooked, remove from slow cooker using the handles of the foil.
  • Optional : You can place the meatloaf under the broiler for about 5 minutes to caramelize the ketchup.
