Step 1
Start by combining the chopped onion, mushrooms, milk, bread crumbs, eggs, and a pinch of salt in a large bowl. Break up the ground beef into small pieces and add it to the mixture, then stir everything together until well combined. Shape the mixture into a round loaf and place it in your 5-quart slow cooker.

Step 2
Set the slow cooker to Low and let it cook for about 5 to 6 hours, or until the meatloaf is no longer pink in the center. You can check doneness with an instant-read thermometer—it should register at least 160°F (70°C).

Step 3
While the meatloaf is cooking, mix together ketchup, brown sugar, mustard, and Worcestershire sauce in a small bowl to make the glaze. When the meatloaf is done, spoon the glaze evenly over the top.

Step 4
Let the meatloaf cook for another 15 minutes so the glaze gets nice and warm. When it’s ready, carefully transfer the meatloaf to a cutting board and let it rest for about 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
