Ingredients

Meatloaf

30 saltine crackers
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 ½ teaspoons sea salt
2 large eggs
¼ cup whole milk
3 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
2 pounds ground beef

Glaze

½ cup ketchup
3 tablespoons light brown sugar
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon dijon mustard.

Instructions

Line the bottom and two of the sides of your slow cooker with heavy duty foil. Spray with non-stick cooking spray.
Place the saltines in a zip top bag. Seal, and use a rolling pin or the flat side of a meat mallet to crush fine.
Transfer to a bowl. Whisk in the parmesan, garlic powder, and salt.
Add the eggs, milk, soy sauce, and vinegar and mix until a paste forms.
Put the meat in a large bowl. Add the paste and mix with your hands until combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared slow cooker, and form into a loaf.
Make the glaze by combining the ketchup, brown sugar, soy sauce, and mustard in a small bowl. Divide the mixture in half.
Brush the meatloaf with half on the glaze.
Cook on low for 6 hours.
Carefully lift the meatloaf from the slow cooker by using the foil. Transfer to a large baking dish.
Top with the remaining glaze.
Broil until the glaze is bubbly.
