Time 4h10m

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

2 lbs. lean ground beef (I use 85%-93% lean) or a "meatloaf mix" consisting of ground beef, ground veal and ground pork
1 cup finely diced onion
2 eggs
½ cup breadcrumbs ((I used Italian seasoned breadcrumbs, but any variety will work))
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 ½ teaspoons salt
¾ teaspoon pepper
¼ teaspoon dried thyme
½ cup ketchup

Steps:

Spray slow cooker with nonstick cooking spray.
Gently combine all ingredients (except ketchup) in a large bowl. Just be careful not to over-mix, or the meat will be tough. I like to use my hands for this!
Shape beef mixture into a loaf and place in the prepared slow cooker.
Spread a thin layer of ketchup over the top of the meatloaf.
Cover and cook on LOW for 4-6 hours or on HIGH for 2-3 hours, or until a meat thermometer inserted in the center of the meatloaf reads 160°F.
Remove meatloaf from slow cooker. Place on a cutting board, slice and serve.

CHEESY CROCK POT MEATLOAF WITH VEGGIES

Cheesy Crock Pot Meatloaf with Veggies image

There are times I'd rather be in my craft room or out in the garden rather than in the kitchen. Meatloaf in the crock pot equals free time to do other things. Meatloaf is one of my favorite meals. There are so many variations to making meatloaf and I don't think I ever make it the same way twice. Today I wrote this variation...

Ingredients

MEATLOAF
2 lb ground beef (other meats can be substituted, ground pork, ground turkey, ground chicken, bulk sausage or a mixture of meats)
1 c bread crumbs, i used panko
1/2 c onion, chopped
1/2 c green bell pepper, chopped
3 clove garlic, minced
1/4 c ketsup
1 tsp mustard
2 large eggs
1/2 Tbsp fennel seed
1 tsp basil, dried
1 tsp salt
1 tsp pepper
VEGGIES
4 to 6 medium potatoes, quartered
3 or 4 large carrots, cubed
2 Tbsp olive oil, extra virgin
seasoning of choice (i used salt and pepper, you could use any desired seasonings) a little rosemary would be good
TOPPING
1/2 c tomato sauce
oregano, dried to taste
garlic powder, to taste
onion powder, to taste
salt and pepper to taste
mozzarella cheese, shredded (optional)

Steps:

1. TIPS: If you grind meat yourself, add the fennel seed and grind with the meat. Spray crock with PAM for easier clean up.
2. In a large bowl; add ingredients for meatloaf. With hands combine the mixture.
3. Form meat mixture into a loaf and place in the center of Crock Pot. Place potatoes and carrots around meatloaf. Drizzle oil on veggies and season before adding to the pot. Place the vegetables around the meatloaf. NOTE: would have been easier if I had seasoned the vegetables and drizzled oil before I putting them in the crock pot.
4. Combine ingredients for topping except for the mozzerella; set aside.
5. Cook on high for 4 hours. The last hour of cooking, remove lid and add the tomato sauce topping mixture to the top of the meatloaf; cover with lid. Once done, turn crock pot off, remove lid and add mozzerella to top of meatloaf, cover with lid and let set for about 15 minutes before serving. NOTE: The meatloaf will brown but not like it would if you baked it in an oven.
6. NOTES: Meatloaf is a dish of ground meat formed into a loaf shape, mixed with egg and breadcrumbs, then baked or in this case cooked in the crock pot. The loaf shape is formed by either cooking it in a loaf pan, or forming it by hand. Meatloaf is usually made from ground beef, although lamb, pork, veal, venison, bulk sausage and poultry or a combination of meats are also used. Variations are unlimited! Different taste for different folks. Choose seasoning that you like. You could add diced potatoes to the meat mixture and cubes of cheddar and/or mushrooms. You can even have a stuffed meatloaf, 2 layers of meat with a cheesy mushroom and onion filling. If you don't like a tomato sauce topping, leave off but I wouldn't leave off the cheese ;) Other toppings; BBQ sauce, Ketchup, or no topping at all. It really depends on the seasonings you choose. OK pull out that crock pot and get to crocking! HAPPY COOKING!
