This savory meatloaf is slow-cooked to perfection, offering a tender and flavorful dish that's easy to prepare and sure to please.
Combine the eggs, milk, salt, and sage in a large mixing bowl.
Mix the ingredients gently to avoid overbeating the eggs.
Add the ground beef to the bowl and mix until just combined.
Use your hands to mix for even distribution, but don't overmix to keep the meatloaf tender.
Shape the mixture into a loaf and place it in the crockpot.
Ensure the loaf is evenly shaped for uniform cooking.
Cover and cook on low for 5-6 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F.
Check the temperature with a meat thermometer to ensure it's fully cooked.
Mix the ketchup, brown sugar, mustard, and Worcestershire sauce in a small bowl.
Whisk until the sugar is fully dissolved for a smooth glaze.
Spread the glaze over the meatloaf and cook for an additional 15 minutes.
Ensure the glaze covers the meatloaf evenly for a flavorful finish.
Let the meatloaf rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving.
Resting allows the juices to redistribute, making the meatloaf more moist and flavorful.
