Slow Cooker Meatloaf

Slow Cooker Meatloaf Recipe

Above Is How Your Meatloaf Will Look In The Crock Pot

You'll want to line your crock pot or slow cooker with tin foil and then put your meat loaf in the tin foil in the crock pot. This is one of the few recipes where you should line your crock pot with tin foil before you cook your food in it

Meat Loaf Is The All American Food

I think of meatloaf as the All American Food. I remember my late Grandmother Hattie Propst and my late Mom her daughter Virginia Walker making wonderful meatloafs. My Grandmother Hattie Propst would cook all day every Saturday to serve a feast every Sunday after church and meatloaf was always one of the things she would make.

Later on my Mom Virginia Walker made almost the same meatloaf but not quite. My Mom made a tomato gravy that she served with her meatloaf and it was so delicious. My Mom's meatloaf is still made all over the south today because she taught cooking classes for years.

Later on I became a Chef and started making and serving what I considered to be some of the best meat loaf ever at cafes all over the south. I came up with my own recipes for meatloaf and I've even made meatloaf out of alligator and it was delicious.

Today people are so busy so they need a really good and quick way to make a delicious meatloaf in the crock pot.

Ingredients For Your Crock Pot Meat Loaf

1. 2 tablespoons of olive oil

2. 2 cups of diced onions

3. 2 teaspoon of ground sea salt

4. freshly ground pepper to taste

5. 2 tablespoons of tomato paste

6. 1/3 cup of low-sodium chicken broth

7. 3 tablespoons of soy sauce

8. 3 pounds of 85 percent ground beef

9. 1/2 cup of fresh parsley, minced

10. 2 eggs

11. 1/2 cup of plain dry breadcrumbs

12. 1 cup of ketchup

Instructions For Putting Your Meatloaf Together

Pour olive oil in a sauté pan and cook unions until soft and translucent over medium low heat. You don't want them to start browning.

Add salt and pepper to the onions.

Stir in chicken broth, soy sauce, and tomato paste.

In a large bowl, combine onion mixture, parsley, eggs, and breadcrumbs.

Use a fork to gently combine.

Don't overwork the meat mixture as this will make the meatloaf dense.

Prepare the slow cooker.

Use three sheets of foil laid over each other to line the slower cooker.

Fold sides of foil down to create handles you can use to remove the meatloaf from the slow cooker.

Place meatloaf mixture into slow cooker and form into loaf shape.

Pour ketchup over the top.

Cook meatloaf until it reaches160 degrees. About 4 hours on low.

Once meatloaf is cooked, remove from slow cooker using the handles of the foil.

Optional : You can place the meatloaf under the broiler for about 5 minutes to caramelize the ketchup.

Above is what your meat loaf will look like when it comes out of the crock pot. The tin foil makes it easy for you to use the tin foil to lift the meat loaf out of the crock pot.

I like to serve my meat loaf with green bean casserole and mashed potatoes. If you click those links you'll find wonderful recipes for those items. Cheddar Bay Biscuits go great with this meal also. Click Here for that recipe.

Place browned patties into the slow cooker stacking alternately like a pyramid. In a medium bowl, mix together the cream of chicken soup, au jus mix, and water. Pour over the meat. Cook on the Low setting for 4 or 5 hours until ground beef is well done.

hour before the roast is finished, mix together the ingredients for the glaze in a small sauce pan: brown sugar, cornstarch, balsamic vinegar, water, soy sauce.

Heat over medium and stir until mixture thickens, about 4 minutes.

Brush roast with glaze 2 or 3 times during the last hour of cooking. (For a more caramelized crust: remove from crockpot and place on aluminum lined sheet pan, glaze, and set under broiler for 1-2 minutes until bubbly and caramelized. Repeat 2 to 3 more times until desired crust is achieved.)

Serve with remaining glaze on the side.

This tenderloin is really delicious. I like to serve it with garlic parmesan mashed potatoes, broccolli with cheese, and cheddar bay biscuits. Those flavors are just perfect together.

Cheesy Vegetable Chowder In The Crock Pot

If you like broccoli and cheese you'll just love this delicious Cheesy Vegetable Chowder. It has all kinds of delicious veggies and its just simply packed with delicious flavor. Everyone that tries it says that is the best soup that they have ever tasted in their life.

Ingredients For Your Cheesy Vegetable Chowder

1. 2 Tablespoons butter.

2. 1/2 cup chopped onion.

3. 1 cup finely chopped carrot

4. 1 celery stick, finely chopped.

5. 1 Tablespoon minced garlic.

6. 4 cups chicken broth.

7. 2 large baking potatoes, peeled and chopped.

8. 1 Tablespoon flour.

9. 1/2 cup water.

10. 2/3 cup milk.

11. 2 cups chopped broccoli.

12. 2 heaping cups shredded cheddar cheese.

Crisp cooked crumbled bacon for garnish.

Melt the butter in a large soup pot. Add onions, carrots, and celery and saute over medium heat until tender. Add garlic and cook 1 or 2 additional minutes. Add chicken broth and potatoes, bring to a boil, and cook until potatoes are tender. Mix flour with water, add, and simmer until soup is slightly thickened. Add milk and broccoli and cook until broccoli is just tender and soup is heated through. Stir in cheese, allow to melt, and serve.

Instructions For The Crock Pot Or Slow Cooker

You can make this soup up through adding the flour and then after finishing that step pour the soup into a large crock pot or slow cooker. If you make it in the crock pot or slow cooker set the temperature setting to high and cook about three hours on high. In the last hour of cooking time add the milk, broccoli, and in the last 20 minutes add in the cheese. I like to serve this chowder in big soup bowls and I almost always serve hot French Bread that I have cut into hunks and brushed with garlic butter. It is so delicious with big hunks of toasted brown garlic bread.

This is truly some of the best soup or chowder that your ever going to eat in your life. I don't think your going to find a more delicious or easier recipe for Cheesy Vegetable Chowder any where. I hope you get to make this chowder real soon.

Tip About Broccoli

When your in a hurry stand a bunch of fresh broccoli upside down, and use a chef's knife to trim the florets into bite size pieces. These tender crowns will cook quickly though.

Crock Pot, Crock Pot is the brand name of an electrical appliance known a a slow cooker that simmers food slowly for several hours. It generally takes about twice as long to cook food in a slow cooker on the low heat setting as on the high setting. Also, resist lifting the lid, each time the lid is removed it can add 30 minutes to the cooking time. So resist the urge to raise the lid and peek.

A slow cooker is an electrical appliance that allows a meal to be cooked while you're away from home. Most slow cookers are made of thick stoneware, and the slow cooker bowl or crock is surrounded by an enclosed heating system. The low temperature gently simmers food for hours unattended. Slow cookers range in size from 1 - 6 quarts, and some models have a removable liner that is dishwasher safe. These are the best models.
