FLAVORIZED SLOW COOKER MEATLOAF

Steps:

• Coat meatloaf with 1/4 cup ketchup and surround with potatoes and carrots. Cook on High, about 2 hours. Reduce heat setting to Low; cook until meatloaf is no longer pink in the center and vegetables are tender, 4 to 6 hours more. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C).

MEAT LOAF FROM THE SLOW COOKER

Steps:

• Cut three 25x3-in. strips of heavy-duty foil; crisscross so they resemble spokes of a wheel. Place strips on the bottom and up the sides of a 4- or 5-qt. slow cooker. Coat strips with cooking spray., In a large bowl, combine the first nine ingredients. Crumble beef and sausage over mixture and mix well (mixture will be moist). Shape into a loaf. Place meat loaf in the center of the strips., In a small bowl, combine sauce ingredients. Spoon over meat loaf. Cover and cook on low 3-4 hours or until no pink remains and a thermometer reads 160°. Using foil strips as handles, remove the meat loaf to a platter.

INCREDIBLY MOIST & EASY CROCK POT MEATLOAF

Steps:

• 1. In a large plastic ziplock bag, combine all dry ingredients. Then, add the wet ingredients to the bag and mix thoroughly.
• 2. Add ground beef chuck until uniformly mixed. Try not to over mix. Form into a round loaf. (I usually refrigerate for a little while to firm up, but it's not necessary. In fact, you can make the loaf the day before and refrigerate until ready to use.)
• 3. Cut 2 lengths of aluminum foil approximately 29" long. Fold lengthwise 3 times. You will end up with two strips of foil approximately 3 1/2" x 29" long. Spray your crock pot with butter flavored cooking spray. I use a standard-size crock pot, approximately 9" across its round top. Place your two lengths of foil in the form of an "X" in the crock pot. This will act as a sling to lift the meatloaf out easily when it is done cooking. Spray foil with non-stick spray as well. If ends stick out of the top of the crock pot, simply fold them down into the pot.
• 4. Add meatloaf to crock pot. Cover and cook on low for 5-5 1/2 hours. About an hour before the meatloaf is done, combine all of sauce ingredients. Pour sauce on top of meatloaf 35-45 before the end of cooking time.
• 5. When meatloaf is done, lift carefully out of crock pot with your foil sling to a serving platter.
