Follow The Directions

01

Step

Prepare the Slow Cooker: Lightly grease the inside of your slow cooker with cooking spray. (5 minutes)

02

Step

Combine the Meat Mixture: In a large bowl, thoroughly combine the ground round beef and ground turkey breast until evenly mixed. (10 minutes)

03

Step

Incorporate Dry Ingredients: Add the unseasoned dry bread crumbs, dry onion soup mix, parsley flakes, black pepper, and garlic powder to the meat mixture. Stir until well distributed. (5 minutes)

04

Step

Add Wet Ingredients: Pour in the slightly beaten eggs, 1/4 cup ketchup, and Dijon mustard. Mix all ingredients together until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can result in a tough meatloaf. (5 minutes)

05

Step

Shape and Place in Slow Cooker: Gently form the meat mixture into a loaf shape. Place the loaf carefully into the prepared slow cooker. (5 minutes)

06

Step

Slow Cook: Cover and cook on High heat for approximately 6 hours, or until the meatloaf is no longer pink in the center and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center registers at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C). (6 hours)

07

Step

Prepare the Glaze: While the meatloaf is cooking, whisk together the 3 tablespoons of ketchup and brown sugar in a small bowl until well combined. (2 minutes)

08

Step

Glaze and Finish Cooking: Once the meatloaf is cooked through, spread the ketchup glaze evenly over the top. Continue cooking, uncovered, until the glaze is set and slightly caramelized, about 1 hour more. (1 hour)

09

Step

Rest and Serve: Let the meatloaf rest for at least 10 minutes before slicing and serving. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more moist and flavorful meatloaf.

For extra flavor, consider adding finely diced onions, carrots, or celery to the meat mixture.
Adjust the amount of ketchup in the glaze to your liking. For a tangier glaze, add a dash of Worcestershire sauce or apple cider vinegar.
To prevent sticking, you can line the bottom of the slow cooker with parchment paper before placing the meatloaf inside.
If you prefer a firmer meatloaf, you can bake it in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 1 hour, or until cooked through.
