SLOW COOKER SAUSAGE 'N' GRITS MEATLOAF



Slow Cooker Sausage 'n' Grits Meatloaf image

With this recipe you can enjoy a taste of sausage and grits in a meatloaf. This recipe uses the grits as a binder instead of the bread crumbs used in a traditional meatloaf recipe. The slow cooking method results in a firm yet moist meatloaf that not only tastes great for dinner, but can be thinly sliced for next day lunch sandwiches. Use your favorite barbecue sauce instead of ketchup, if you prefer. Serve alone, with gravy, with ketchup or BBQ sauce. Makes great sandwiches cold or warmed in a buttered fry pan.

Tips:

  • Choose the right sausage: For the best flavor, use a good quality sausage, such as a spicy Italian sausage or a breakfast sausage. You can also use a combination of sausages for a more complex flavor.
  • Don't overcook the sausage: Overcooked sausage will be dry and crumbly. Cook it just until it is cooked through, about 10 minutes per pound.
  • Use a good quality cheese: The cheese you use will make a big difference in the flavor of the meatloaf. Use a cheese that melts well and has a good flavor, such as cheddar, mozzarella, or Parmesan.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment: There are many different ways to make meatloaf, so don't be afraid to experiment with different ingredients and flavors. You can add vegetables, herbs, and spices to create a meatloaf that is unique and delicious.
  • Let the meatloaf rest before slicing: Once the meatloaf is cooked, let it rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing. This will help the meatloaf hold together and prevent it from falling apart.

Conclusion:

Slow cooker sausage and grits meatloaf is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The sausage and grits add a unique flavor and texture to the meatloaf, and the addition of cheese makes it extra cheesy and flavorful. This meatloaf is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
