Add 2 cups of hot tap water to your slow cooker and turn on high while you make the meatloaf
Combine all meatloaf ingredients into a large bowl and mix really well to combine
Spray silicone loaf tin with non-stick spray.
Add meatloaf mix to loaf pan, pressing down well. I make a channel along the middle length ways at the top for excess sauce to sit on. I also make a small gap around the edges like a shallow moat above the meat for excess sauces to gather on also so that you keep the sauce up top where you want it ?
Combine all the glaze ingredients to make the sauce and spoon over meatloaf, filling middle channel with any excess
Carefully place the meatloaf into the shallow hot water and turn back your slow cooker to LOW now
Cook for 5hrs on low with tea towel trick in place, ensuring tea towel doesn’t touch top of sauce.
Slice and serve. Lovely with creamy mashed potato and your favourite side vegetables.
Note: If you only have a metal loaf pan, line it with baking paper first. And sit the pan on a little sheet of baking paper also so as not to scratch your slow cooker bowl.
Note: It’s worth getting better quality lean beef mince for this so that your meatloaf isn’t swimming in oil at the end.
