Instructions

Preparation Steps

Wash the baby gold potatoes under cold running water until they’re clean. Cut larger potatoes in half.
Lightly grease the inside of a 6-quart slow cooker. Arrange the seasoned potatoes evenly across the bottom.
In a separate bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, eggs, milk, onion, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, and seasonings. Mix gently.
Divide meat mixture into 6 equal portions and shape each into an oval mini meatloaf about 1.5 inches thick.
In a small bowl, whisk together ketchup, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, and mustard for the glaze.
Spoon half of the glaze over the shaped meatloaves before covering with the slow cooker lid and cooking on LOW for 4 to 5 hours.
After cooking, brush reserved glaze over the tops of the cooked mini meatloaves.
Let rest for 5 minutes before serving, spooning cooking juices over the potatoes.

Notes

Ensure to not overmix the meatloaf ingredients and check the internal temperature for safe consumption.
