Description
A delightful dish that combines rich flavors and a tender texture, perfect for family dinners or gatherings.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, minced garlic, grated parmesan cheese, softened cream cheese, chopped onion, eggs, chopped parsley, salt, and pepper. Mix everything until well combined, being careful not to overmix.
- Transfer the mixture to a loaf pan or shape it into a loaf directly in the crockpot. Make sure it’s compact to hold its shape while cooking.
- Lightly grease the inside of the crockpot with cooking spray or a little olive oil to prevent sticking.
- Place the shaped meatloaf into the crockpot. Cover with the lid and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, until the meatloaf is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 160°F.
- If desired, during the last 30 minutes of cooking, sprinkle additional grated parmesan cheese on top of the meatloaf for a deliciously cheesy crust.
Notes
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- To reheat, place slices in the microwave for a quick warm-up.
- For longer storage, freeze the meatloaf wrapped tightly in plastic wrap and foil for up to 3 months.
