Ingredients

- 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

- 1/2 cup of fresh parsley, minced
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup of plain dry breadcrumbs
- 1 cup of ketchup
Preparation
Step 1
Let’s get started on our slow cooker meatloaf. Start by cooking the onions over medium low heat. You don’t want to brown them, just get them nice and soft. Add salt and pepper. I don’t measure the pepper, I just keep cranking the peppermill until it looks good.
Stir in chicken broth, tomato paste, and soy sauce. You aren’t going to taste the soy sauce, it just beefs up the flavor of the meat.
In a large bowl, combine ground beef, onion mixture, egg, bread crumbs, and parsley. Use a fork to gently mix the ingredients. You don’t want to overwork the mixture. If you keep stirring, the meat will continue to break down and the meatloaf mixture will be very dense.
Now the meatloaf mixture is ready to go.
Lightly shape meat mixture into a loaf. Pour ketchup over the top.
Here is the meatloaf after about 4 hours on low. Perfectly moist and ready to be served. I lifted the meatloaf out using the foil handles. While I was lifting the meatloaf, I turned down one of the edges of the foil and poured off the excess fat.
Serve with additional ketchup and mashed potatoes.
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 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.
Place meatloaf mixture into slow cooker and form into loaf shape.
Pour ketchup over the top.
Optional : You can place the meatloaf under the broiler for about 5 minutes to caramelize the ketchup.
