Steps:
- In a large bowl combine all ingredients except potatoes, second amount of seasoned salt and olive oil. Mix thoroughly and pat into the bottom of your crock. I just level mine out, covering the entire bottom of the crock. Then, take a large piece of aluminum foil and place the diced potatoes, drizzle with olive oil and season with seasoned salt. Then, fold the aluminum foil into a nice packet and place on top of the meatloaf.
- Cook on High for 3 to 4 hours until done.
- I serve this as is with ketchup on the side because that is the way we like it. Feel free to top with tomato sauce or gravy.
Tips:
- Use a lean ground beef: A leaner ground beef will produce a less greasy meatloaf.
- Add moisture to the meatloaf: To keep the meatloaf moist, add some bread crumbs, oats, or vegetables to the mixture.
- Don't overmix the meatloaf: Overmixing the meatloaf can make it tough.
- Cook the meatloaf on a rack: This will help the meatloaf cook evenly and prevent it from becoming soggy.
- Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the meatloaf: The meatloaf is done when it reaches an internal temperature of 160 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Let the meatloaf rest before slicing: This will help the meatloaf hold its shape and make it easier to slice.
- Serve the meatloaf with your favorite sides: Mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, and gravy are all great options.
