We're having a few days of chilly, maybe rainy weather here. This morn I made a slo cooker of chili.Had 1/2 pd of cooked sausage (made for another recipe)....so added that,along with gr beef.DH had to have a bowl for lunch, but it'll be even better by supper time.
We usually have it twice, then I freeze what's left. Along with beef veg soup & broth frozen for noodle soup, it's so easy to grab from freezer on a busy day.

To make meatloaf in crockpot I just use my regular recipe. To get crock pot ready put about 3 balls of foilin pot ( golf ball sized). Then using a long strip of foil folded in half length wise form your meatloaf on this.Pack really well , lift the foil with meatloafon it into crockpot. Cook till done. The balls of foil will keep meatloaf out of juices. The folded foil makes it easy to lift meatloaf out of pot.Let sit for a few minutes, serve as usual. Some people cook carrots & potato in crock pot as well. I didn't care for it.

I make many small meatloaves in my New Wave oven so the grease goes out and into the bottom under the rack. I freeze them and my hubby loves taking one in his lunch. I only like them hot. Cold sandwich EEEEEW!

Count me as another Paula Dean Meatloaf fan! I didn't care for meatloaf either, until I made this one. Our whole family loves it, even down to the great-grands! I don't cook that often anymore, but when I do I love this with mashed potatoes, and usually green peas and cornbread. Yumm.......
Here's the recipe:
1 pound ground beef (I use 90% lean)
1 1/4 teaspoons salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/2 cup chopped onion
1/2 cup chopped bell pepper
1 egg, lightly beaten
8 ounces canned diced tomatoes with juice
1/2 cup quick-cooking oats
Topping:
1/3 cup ketchup
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 tablespoon prepared mustard
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
Mix all meat loaf ingredients well and place in a baking dish. Shape into a loaf.
Topping:
Mix ingredients for topping and spread on loaf. Bake for 1 hour.
Call me when it comes out of the oven!
