I decided to create a blog so that I could share recipes with my family and friends :) I am very family orientated and love to spend time with them any chance I get and most of my close friends, I consider to be like family. This blog will be kept short, simple and fun. I love to cook in the kitchen and try new recipes so if you have any new ones you would like me to try....just email me or comment :)

Crock Pot Meatloaf

So Kyle is not a huge fan of meatloaf because of all the onions. I found this crock pot recipe and thought it would be perfect because Kyle wouldn't get the overload of onions, but I could still get some from the salsa. Hmm..salsa in meatloaf. I have never heard of that, but that could be because I have never made meatloaf. My Mom makes really good meatloaf, but this recipe will get the job done. If you like your meatloaf kind of crunchy on the outside, then this is not for you. Since it cooks in the crock pot, the texture is really soft.


Ingredients:
1 lb. Lean Ground Beef
1/4 cup Milk
1 Egg
1/4 cup Salsa
2 slices of Bread; cubed
1/4 cup Ketchup
Salt and Pepper to taste
8 medium Carrots
8 small Red Potatoes

(Kind of reminds me of a pot roast w/ the carrots and potatoes)



Mix everything together in the bowl


Before I added in all the potatoes and carrots


What To Do:
  • In a bowl, beat the egg and milk
  • Stir in the bread cubes, salsa, salt and pepper
  • Add the beef and mix well
  • Spray the entire crock pot with cooking spray 
  • Put beef mixture into pot and shape like a loaf of bread
  • Spread the ketchup on top (I just squeezed the ketchup on top)
  • Arrange the carrots and potatoes in layers around the meat
  1. Cover and cook on high for 1 hour
  2. Reduce heat to low
  3. Cover and cook 7-8 hours
