Crock pot meatloaf, yum
My meatloaf is never the same. Heck nothing I cook ever tastes the some way twice, WHY? Because I can't seam to follow directions, that's why.
When I make meatloaf I usually just open the refrigerator and start throwing stuff in a bowl. I'll then open the cabinet and raid the spice rack. Monday morning I had about 4 pounds of burger I needed to use up. Everything is cheaper when ya buy it in bulk.
I started with the burger meat then added;
One small cut up green pepper
One small sliced banana pepper
One cut up plum tomato
About 1/8 cup dales
I used about a cup of oatmeal, i didn't have enough bread crumbs & didn't feel like breaking up the bread
Two tablespoons flax seed (it's good for ya)
One packet onion soup mix
One crushed clove of garlic
Just a tad bit of some other spices
One container ricotta cheese ( it was on sale and i had to use it up)
I mixed it all up with my clean hands. I feel using my hands is the only way to get it mixed together really good.
Then I put it in my crock pot, yes my crock pot. I set it on low for about five hours. I've been cooking my meatloaf in a crock pot for awhile now. I'm not sure why I started doing it, maybe because it was too hot to turn on the oven. I like it better in the crock pot, I think my family does too.
I use to lay my meatloaf flat, put mozzarella cheese, onion and pepper in it. I would then roll it up, so it had a nice little surprise in the middle.
I'm always looking for new recipes to try. How do you make meatloaf?
