• 2 eggs
• 1/2 cup of plain dry breadcrumbs
• 1 cup of ketchup

Directions

• Pour olive oil in a sauté pan and cook unions until soft and translucent over medium low heat. You dont want them to start browning.
• Add salt and pepper to the onions.
• Stir in chicken broth, soy sauce, and tomato paste.
• In a large bowl, combine meat, onion mixture, parsley, eggs, and breadcrumbs.
• Use a fork to gently combine.
• Dont overwork the meat mixture as this will make the meatloaf dense.
• Prepare the slow cooker.
• Use three sheets of foil laid over each other to line the slower cooker.
• Fold sides of foil down to create handles you can use to remove the meatloaf from the slow cooker.
• Place meatloaf mixture into slow cooker and form into loaf shape.
• Pour ketchup over the top.
• Cook meatloaf until it reaches 160 degrees. About 4 hours on low.
• Once meatloaf is cooked, remove from slow cooker using the handles of the foil.
• Optional : You can place the meatloaf under the broiler for about 5 minutes to caramelize the ketchup.
