Melt in Your Mouth Meatloaf

I've stated before, and I'll state it again, I LOVE comfort food.  There's just something that makes you feel warm inside when you eat it.  When I was younger, I was a never a fan of meatloaf.  I guess I just didn't like the idea of it...it's a big ole loaf of meat and that just sounded funny to me.  Now-a-days, I enjoy it.  It's easy to make, it fills you up, and (when you use the right ingredients) can be extremely flavorful.  This recipe I got from "Taste of Home Casseroles, Slowcookers, and Soups".  

2 eggs
3/4 cup milk
2/3 cup seasoned bread crumbs
2 tsp dried minced onion (I used onion salt because I did not have minced onion)
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp rubbed sage
1 1/2 lbs ground beef
1/4 cup ketchup
2 tbsp brown sugar
1 tsp ground mustard
1/2 tsp Worcestershire sauce

In a large bowl, combine the first 6 ingredients.  Crumble beef mixture over it and combine well.  Shape into a round loaf, place in slow cooker.  Cover and cook on low 5-6 hours.  

In a small bowl, whisk the ketchup, brown sugar, mustard and Worcestershire sauce.  Spoon over the meat loaf.  Cook 15 minutes longer.

Sorry for the blurry iPhone pictures.  


All in all, this was a hit.  Steve loved it and considered it one of the best meatloaf meals he's had.  Which is a home run in my book!  Definitely give this recipe a try!  I forgot to take an after picture, so apologies on that!

Happy cooking!
