Reader submitted Crockpot Meatloaf

Patti G's Meatloaf

"Just make a meat loaf mixture the same as you normally would, using about 1 1 /2 or 2 lbs. of ground beef.

Put 6 potatoes, peeled and cut up in bottom of crockpot (I sprayed some oil in first.)

Then put in a small bag of carrots

Add a layer of fresh onion slices, if you wish.

Salt and pepper all those ingredients.

Shape meat mixture into a flat, round "shape" and sort of press down on top of veggies.

Open and drain a can of diced tomatoes and spread tomatoes on top of meat mixture.

Cover and cook on low for 8 to 10 hours. (I cooked on low for about 5 hours and then turned to high for about 2 hours - remove the lid for the last 20 minutes or so.) You can speed up the cooking process if you need to (as I did) according to your schedule." -- Patti

  • And now a note from another reader with a variation...

Dear Chet, in response to Patty G's meatloaf crockpot recipe, here is a great variation: I made a meatloaf with all the goodies , some grass fed sausage and hamburger mixed together, about 1\3 sausage to the hamburger, diced some celery and onion and put Salsa in the mixture then put half the meat in on top of the potatoes and then put chedder cheese on the meat and then added the rest of the meat. Cooked for several hours and at the last 1\2 hour I put it on high and added some more red salsa to the top and it comes out fantastic. thanks for a great newsletter
