No joke, my husband goes wild for this meal!

1. In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, milk, eggs, onion, garlic, oregano, basil, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.

2. Shape the mixture into a loaf shape and place it in the slow cooker.

3. Spread the ketchup evenly on top of the meatloaf.

4. Cover and cook on low for 6-7 hours, or until the meatloaf reaches an internal temperature of 160°F (70°C).

5. If using, sprinkle the mozzarella cheese on top in the last 15 minutes of cooking.

6. Once done, let the meatloaf rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
