- Salt & pepper, to taste
- 1/4 cup ketchup

Instructions
- Mix: In large bowl add your ground beef, onion, eggs, breadcrumbs, garlic, milk, italian seasoning, parsley, salt, pepper and ketchup.
- Combine: Mix together gently with your hands or a wooden spoon until it just comes together.
- Prepare: Line a crockpot with tinfoil and place your meat mixture into pot and shape into a loaf.
- Cook: Cover and cook on high for 3 hours or low for 6 hours.
- Transfer: Drain off any grease, then remove meatloaf with tinfoil and place on baking sheet.

- Broil: Place in oven and broil for a few minutes until bubbly and baked on slightly.

Notes
Use at least 80/20 or 85/15 fat ground beef to prevent the meatloaf from shrinking too much. Gently combine the mixture to avoid making the meat chewy and tough. Drain grease from the pot before transferring the loaf to the baking sheet.
