Just set it and forget it! You can "bake" a classic comfort food dinner in your slow cooker with this easy crockpot meatloaf recipe.

Provided by Blair Lonergan

Categories     Dinner

Time 4h10m

Number Of Ingredients 9

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.

CROCK POT MEXICAN MEATLOAF



Crock Pot Mexican Meatloaf image

Being without a kitchen while we remodel I'm having to get creative about finding/inventing new tastes from my crock pot. This is the most successful invention so far. The kids loved it hot and then ate the leftovers for lunches so fast I hardly got any. LOL I used a 6qt, oval crock pot and 4lbs of meat to feed my large family. If you want to halve the recipe you're on your own about how to cook it because I'm sure it would burn or dry out in a 6qt oval.

Categories     Poultry

Time 7h10m

Yield 12-16 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 lbs hamburger
2 lbs ground turkey
2 small onions, chopped
3 eggs
1 cup oatmeal
1 cup milk
2 (1 1/4 ounce) envelopes taco seasoning mix (the size intended to make tacos from one pound of ground meat)
1 teaspoon cumin
1 (16 ounce) jar medium salsa (hotter if you prefer it that way)
8 ounces cheddar cheese or 8 ounces monterey jack cheese

Steps:

  • Mix everything except the salsa and the cheese together, blending very well.
  • Put into a 6qt, oval crock pot. Form an oval donut shape that does not touch the outer walls and has a hollow in the middle the size of a small woman's fist all the way to the bottom.
  • Pour the salsa over the meat. Cook on high for 3 hours then turn down to low to finish for another 4-5 hours. Open the pot, top the meat with the shredded cheese, cover, and cook on low another half hour.
  • Serve either nacho style over corn chips or wrapped in flour tortillas. I recommend a salad and the usual taco fixings on the side.

Tips:

  • Choose the right ground meat: For a classic meatloaf, use a combination of ground beef and ground pork. You can also use all beef or all pork, but the combination of the two meats gives the meatloaf a more flavorful and moist texture.
  • Use fresh ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better your meatloaf will be. Use fresh vegetables, herbs, and spices for the best flavor.
  • Don't overmix the meatloaf mixture: Overmixing the meatloaf mixture will make it tough. Mix it just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Shape the meatloaf into a loaf: Shape the meatloaf mixture into a loaf shape and place it in the slow cooker. Cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours.
  • Baste the meatloaf: During the last hour of cooking, baste the meatloaf with the sauce or glaze of your choice. This will help to keep the meatloaf moist and flavorful.
  • Let the meatloaf rest before serving: Let the meatloaf rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving. This will help the meatloaf to hold its shape and make it easier to slice.

Conclusion:

Making meatloaf in a crock pot is a great way to enjoy a delicious and hearty meal with minimal effort. With just a few simple ingredients and steps, you can create a moist and flavorful meatloaf that the whole family will love. Whether you're a beginner cook or a seasoned pro, this recipe is sure to become a favorite in your kitchen.
