MomLid's Meatloaf
One of my husband's favorite meals is meatloaf. It's such a simple comfort food, especially in colder weather. Discovering that I can make an excellent meatloaf in the crockpot means that we can even make it in warm weather without heating up th kitchen. I took a little from here & a little from there to make this my own! Not necessarily pretty, but beautiful to eat.
MOMLID'S MEATLOAF!
OVEN VERION:
1-1/2 lbs ground beef
1/2 lb ground pork
2/3 cups bread crumbs
1 envelope onion soup mix
1 tsp dried thyme
2 cloves garlic,chopped
2 ribs celery with leaves, finely chopped.
1/4 red onion chopped (optional)
2 t prepared mustard
2 t Worchestershire sauce
1/4 cup milk
1. Mix all together thoroughly - I totally advocate using your hands to moosh everthing together!
(remove rings first or use gloves)
2. Form into a loaf in a pan sprayed with cooking spray.
3. Top with glaze: 1/2 cup ketchup & 1/4 cup brown sugar mixed
4. Cook at 350 degrees for 1 hour. Remove from oven, let sit 10-15 minutes before slicing
CROCKPOT VERSION:
1. Form into a loaf and place on foil in crockpot.
2. Place the cover on your slow cooker and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high 3-4 hours (until meat thermometer reads 160)
Note: Cooking times are just a guideline. Slow cookers cook differently depending on size and make/model. It is recommended that you test times in your slow cooker for all new recipes.
