Tender Homestyle Meatloaf is rich and comforting, with a juicy crumb thanks to a milk-and-breadcrumb panade and a gentle, slow cook. A glossy ketchup-brown sugar glaze adds a balanced sweet tang, while minced onion, sage, and a hint of Worcestershire round out the savory depth. Perfect for a cozy family dinner or a make-ahead weeknight meal.

1

Prepare meatloaf: In a large bowl, whisk together the milk, bread crumbs, eggs, minced onion, salt, and sage.
2

Stir in the ground beef and mushrooms until fully combined.
3

Shape the mixture into a round loaf. Place the loaf in a 5-quart slow cooker. Cover and cook on Low until a meat thermometer registers 160 degrees F (71 degrees C), 5 to 6 hours.
4

Prepare glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the ketchup, brown sugar, mustard, and Worcestershire sauce.
5

Open the slow cooker and spoon the glaze over the meatloaf. Cover the cooker and continue cooking on Low until the sauce is heated through, about 15 minutes.
6

Carefully lift the meatloaf with two spatulas onto a serving plate. Cover with foil and let it stand for 10 minutes to trap the juices before slicing.
