Instructions

Peel and chop the onion finely.
In a bowl, add the ground beef, chopped onion, parmesan, eggs, almond flour, herbs, salt and pepper, and mix well to combine.

My meatloaf is LOW CARB AND GLUTEN FREE, I replaced the regular breadcrumbs with almond flour, which worked like a dream. But, if you are not too bothered about a low carb diet, the feel free to use breadcrumbs, that's absolutely fine and it should not change the texture of the meatloaf.

There is one thing you must keep in mind when you make a meatloaf in the slow cooker: ALWAYS USE LEAN MEAT. If you use ground beef with a higher amount of fat, you end up with a meatloaf that is covered in grease. Not cool!
By any means, you can use a combination of beef and pork if you like, but again, make sure the pork mince is lean as well. The binding ingredients are eggs and almond flour, they also give a lovely taste, so do not omit them.
