Directions:

Prepare the Meatloaf: In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, milk, egg, onion, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper, and parsley. Mix until just combined.

Shape and Cook: Shape the meat mixture into a loaf and place it into the slow cooker. Pour the mushroom and beef broth mixture around the meatloaf.

Slow Cook: Cover and cook on low for 6-7 hours, or until the meatloaf is cooked through and tender.

Transfer: Remove the meatloaf from the slow cooker and transfer it to a serving platter.
