Instructions

In a large bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, eggs, milk, onion, garlic, 1/4 cup ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper, and thyme. Mix until well combined.
Shape the mixture into a loaf and place it in the crockpot.
In a small bowl, mix 1/2 cup ketchup, brown sugar, and mustard to make the glaze.
Spread the glaze evenly over the meatloaf.
Cover and cook on low for 6-7 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, until fully cooked (internal temperature should reach 160°F).
Optional: Carefully transfer the meatloaf to a baking sheet and broil for 2-3 minutes to caramelize the glaze.
Let rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

You can substitute ground turkey or a beef/pork mix if preferred.
Use parchment or foil in the bottom of the crockpot for easier cleanup.
Letting the meatloaf rest helps retain its juices.
