🍽️ One-Pot Crock Pot Meatloaf 🍽️

Who says meatloaf has to be complicated? I made this juicy, flavorful meatloaf in my crock pot for an easy, hands-off dinner! Here's my little twist: once the meatloaf was done, I took it out, drained the liquid, topped it with a delicious sauce, and broiled it in the oven for 3 minutes to get that perfect caramelized finish! 🔥✨

And to complete the meal, I added a side of creamy mashed potatoes – the perfect comfort food duo! 🥔💛

Here’s the recipe:

**Ingredients:**

- 2 lbs ground beef

- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs

- 1/2 cup milk

- 1 egg

- 1 small onion, finely chopped

- 2 garlic cloves, minced

- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce

- 1 tsp salt

- 1 tsp paprika

- 1 tbsp Italian seasonings

- 1/2 tsp pepper

- 1/4 cup ketchup (for topping)

- 2 tbsp brown sugar (for topping)

- 1 tbsp cilantro (for topping)

Instructions:

1. In a large bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, milk, egg, onion, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, paprika, Italian seasonings, salt, and pepper. Mix until just combined.

2. Shape the mixture into a loaf and place it into the crock pot.

3. Cover and cook on low for 6-7 hours, or until fully cooked through.

4. Once done, carefully remove the meatloaf from the crock pot and drain any liquid.

5. In a small bowl, mix ketchup and brown sugar. Spread the sauce over the meatloaf.

6. Place the meatloaf in the oven on broil for 3 minutes, or until the sauce is bubbly and caramelized. 🍅🔥

7. Top with 1 tbsp of chopped cilantro for a fresh finish.

8. Serve with a side of mashed potatoes for the perfect comforting meal.

It’s comfort food at its finest, and the whole family loved it. 🍽️🍂
