Meatloaf is one of those meals you either love or hate. I personally think the word ‘loaf’ makes it sound gross. But in any case, our family loves it. I remember having it for dinner when I was a kid.. and now it’s made it to our menu plan but with a twist.. the crockpot! Cooking meatloaf in the crockpot is simple! All you need to do is prepare your meatloaf as you normally would. I use…

• 1-2lbs of ground beef (the less fat the better)
• 2 eggs
• 4 tbsp A-1 Sauce
• 5 tbsp Ketchup
• 1 cup bread crumbs (or cracker crumbs)
• 1 packet of Lipton beef mix
• 3-4 slices of bacon
• 2 slices loaf bread

I mix all the ingredients together (except the bacon and loaf bread). After mixing them together I form it into a loaf. Now the loaf bread goes in the bottom of the crockpot. It absorbs all the fat and sauces so your meatloaf isn’t swimming in the crockpot and I top it with the bacon to add flavor. Set it on high for 4 to 5 hours and viola!

Here is the meatloaf all done
