Crockpot Meatloaf image

Just set it and forget it! You can "bake" a classic comfort food dinner in your slow cooker with this easy crockpot meatloaf recipe.

Provided by Blair Lonergan

Categories     Dinner

Time 4h10m

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 lbs. lean ground beef (I use 85%-93% lean) or a "meatloaf mix" consisting of ground beef, ground veal and ground pork
1 cup finely diced onion
2 eggs
½ cup breadcrumbs ((I used Italian seasoned breadcrumbs, but any variety will work))
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 ½ teaspoons salt
¾ teaspoon pepper
¼ teaspoon dried thyme
½ cup ketchup

Steps:

  • Spray slow cooker with nonstick cooking spray.
  • Gently combine all ingredients (except ketchup) in a large bowl. Just be careful not to over-mix, or the meat will be tough. I like to use my hands for this!
  • Shape beef mixture into a loaf and place in the prepared slow cooker.
  • Spread a thin layer of ketchup over the top of the meatloaf.
  • Cover and cook on LOW for 4-6 hours or on HIGH for 2-3 hours, or until a meat thermometer inserted in the center of the meatloaf reads 160°F.
  • Remove meatloaf from slow cooker. Place on a cutting board, slice and serve.

CROCK POT CHIPOTLE MEATLOAF



Crock Pot Chipotle Meatloaf image

This is a recipe I came up with the other evening to satisfy my craving for comfort food. I needed a one-dish meal, as my crock-pot is the only cooking apparatus I have left after kitchen fire. Great for getting your veggies without extra work or dishes (I love to use spinach and mushrooms whenever I can!). Makes fantastic sandwiches next day (also makes yummy meatballs!)

Categories     Meat

Time P5DT15m

Yield 2 loaves, 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 lbs ground meat (I use 1 lb beef, 1 lb turkey)
2 -3 tablespoons italian seasoning
1 onion, grated (with juice)
1/4 cup carrot, grated
2 fresh garlic cloves, pressed
1/3 cup portabella mushroom, minced
2/3 cup frozen spinach
2 eggs
1/4 cup ketchup
1/3 cup sour cream
1 tablespoon sriracha sauce (Asian hot chile sauce)
1 cup cracker, crushed (I use Cheez-its and Triscuits)
1/3 cup Italian breadcrumbs
1/4 cup cheese, shredded (I use Sargento's Shredded Chipotle, yum!)
1/4 cup tomato sauce
1 chipotle pepper, pulverized

Steps:

  • Mix first 7 ingredients in a bowl. Be careful not to overwork, otherwise your loaf will be tough (hint for any meatloaf!).
  • In another bowl, beat eggs with ketchup, sour cream and sriracha sauce. Add to meat mixture.
  • Stir in cracker/breadcrumbs and cheese until just mixed inches.
  • Shape into two loaves, place in crock pot.
  • Mix tomato sauce and chipotle pepper, spread on top of loaf.
  • Cook on med-low for 5 hours or until done.
  • If desired, sprinkle some shredded Chipotle cheese on top of loaf about 10 mins before serving. You can also make a gravy out of the "juice" that results in bottom of pan by adding some beef broth and thickening with cornstarch.

Tips:

  • Prepare the Meatloaf Mixture: In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, bread crumbs, eggs, milk, onion, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, chipotle peppers in adobo, chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly combined.
  • Shape the Meatloaf: Transfer the meatloaf mixture to a greased loaf pan. Shape it into a loaf, pressing it down firmly to ensure it holds together.
  • Cook the Meatloaf: Place the loaf pan in your slow cooker. Pour the ketchup mixture over the top of the meatloaf, ensuring it is evenly coated.
  • Slow Cook the Meatloaf: Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours. The meatloaf is done when it reaches an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C) as measured with a meat thermometer.
  • Let the Meatloaf Rest: Once the meatloaf is cooked, turn off the slow cooker and let it rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meatloaf, resulting in a more flavorful and moist texture.

Conclusion:

This Crock-Pot Chipotle Meatloaf recipe offers a delicious and hassle-free way to enjoy a classic comfort food dish. The combination of chipotle peppers, cumin, and chili powder adds a delightful smoky and spicy flavor to the meatloaf, while the ketchup glaze provides a tangy and caramelized crust. By following the tips and instructions provided, you can easily create a moist, flavorful, and crowd-pleasing meatloaf that is perfect for any occasion.
