Crock Pot Cheesy Meatloaf Food

THE BEST CROCKPOT MEATLOAF

Steps:

• Tear off a large strip of aluminum foil (heavy duty works well), and press it into the bottom and up two of the sides of a 6 quart or larger slow cooker. Spray lightly with non-stick cooking spray, then set aside.
• Combine all ketchup glaze ingredients in a small mixing bowl and whisk to combine. Set aside.
• Add ground beef, all but 2 Tbsp of the minced onion, stuffing mix, milk, eggs, 2 Tbsp glaze, salt and pepper. Use your hands to mix until just combined.
• Shape into an oval-like shape and place into the foil lined crockpot. Top with ½ cup of the glaze, cover, and cook on LOW for 6 hours.
• When finished cooking, carefully lift out the meatloaf, using the foil overhang, and place on a baking sheet. Top with 2/3 cup of the glaze and broil until glaze is sticky and bubbly.
• Serve sliced, with remaining glaze sauce served on the side for drizzling.

CHEESY CROCK POT MEATLOAF WITH VEGGIES

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!

Place meatloaf in the center of the strips. Pull the foil strips up and over the meatloaf. Cover. Use the foil as handles to lift out. Estimating time at 8 hours on LOW or 4 hours on HIGH. Also, read that you can cut up two potatoes, into finger size pieces and put that underneath the meatloaf in crock pot. Ummm.
