Slow Cooker Meat Loaf | Easy Crock Pot Recipes

If you don't have a slow cooker with a built in thermometer, then this handy thermometer can be added to the meat loaf before pop the lid on and start it cooking, and then when you come home you can see if it's up to temperature and therefore cooked.  A very handy tool as it is always reassuring to know for sure that your meal is cooked!

Slow Cooker Meat Loaf | Easy Crock Pot Recipes

Cook on high for 4 hours or on low for 8 to 10 hours.

3/4 cup spicy or regular ketchup
1 1/2 lbs lean ground beef
3/4 cup seasoned bread crumbs
1/2 cup finely chopped onion
1/4 cup grated Parmesan
1 large egg
1 1/2 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce
2 tsp minced garlic
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp ground pepper

Recipe Preparation

1. To ease removal of the meat loaf from the cooker, fold two 24-in.-long pieces of aluminum foil in half lengthwise, then in half lengthwise again. Place strips across each other, forming a "+" in bottom of a 3-qt or larger slow-cooker. Press strips against inside of cooker, letting ends hang over the outside.

2. In a large bowl, mix 1/2 cup ketchup with the remaining ingredients until well blended. Form into a 7 x 4 x 2-in. loaf. Place in cooker; spread top and sides of loaf with remaining 1/4 cup ketchup.

3. Cover and cook on high 4 hours or on low 8 to 10 hours, until a meat thermometer inserted in center of meat loaf registers 160°F.
