- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, milk, eggs, shredded cheddar cheese, finely chopped onion, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until evenly combined, but avoid overmixing to keep the meatloaf tender.
Step 2
Line the bottom of your crock pot with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy removal of the meatloaf later.
Step 3
Shape the meat mixture into a loaf shape and place it into the prepared crock pot.
Step 4
In a small bowl, whisk together the ketchup, brown sugar, and Worcestershire sauce to make the topping.
Step 5
Spread the ketchup mixture evenly over the top of the meatloaf.
Step 6
Cover the crock pot with the lid and cook on LOW for 6-8 hours or HIGH for 3-4 hours, or until the internal temperature of the meatloaf reaches 160°F (70°C).
Step 7
Once cooked, carefully lift the meatloaf out of the crock pot using the parchment paper or foil. Let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Step 8
Serve warm and enjoy your cheesy meatloaf with your favorite side dishes, such as mashed potatoes, green beans, or a fresh salad.
