What you need:
2 eggs, beaten
3/4 cup milk
3/4 cup dry breadcrumbs
1 (1 ounce) envelope dry onion soup mix (My Mother Shelley Jeffrey, uses ranch dip mix and it is wonderful too)
2 lbs lean ground beef
2 strips of tin foil that are each long enough to go down one side of your pot, cover the bottom , then go up the other side of your pot.
What you do:
1. To remove loaf when done, line crock with 2 wide strips of aluminum foil, coming up sides of crock. Place them so that they are opposite each other giving you the most coverage of the sides and bottom of the pot. Then when you lift out the meatloaf for serving , you won't have anything cooked on the sides of the pot. I hate it when I have stuff stuck to the inside of my crock pot that requires it to be soaked for several days before I can wipe it out with out leaving scratches.
2 In a large bowl combine eggs, milk, bread crumbs, and soup mix. Mix well, then add meat. Mix thoroughly, then shape into a rectangle or oval that won't touch sides of crock. Place in crock. Cover and cook on low for 6 hours or high for 3 hours.
3) If you like to put a ketchup glaze on the meatloaf simply mix these ingredients up. Simmer in a pot on the stove until the sugar is completely dissolved then brush your meatloaf with the glaze after you pull it from the crock pot.
Glaze Ingredients:
1/2 cup ketchup or 1/2 cup chili sauce
4 tablespoons brown sugar
4 teaspoons cider vinegar or 4 teaspoons white vinega
Turkey Meatlaof --Mutty loves this one! Just replace the ground beef with ground turkey for the loaf and instead of Ketchup in your glaze use the same amount of cranberry sauce and omit the vinegar. I like to use whole berry jelled cranberry sauce but the other kind works just as well!
