Easy Slow Cooker Meatloaf Dinner

Amazingly tender meatloaf that's anything but boring! And with the potatoes and carrots cooking along side it you've got a delicious hassle-free one pot meal. Actual hands on work is only about 20 minutes!

Ingredients:

1 1/2 lbs ground beef

2 eggs

3/4 cup milk

2/3 cup bread crumbs

1/3 cup cooked brown rice

1/2 tsp salt

1 tsp onion powder

1 tsp savory

1/2 tsp dry mustard

1/2 tsp celery seed

pinch of baking soda (to keep the meatloaf moist and tender)

1 1/2 lbs potatoes, peeled and cut into 1 - 1 1/2" chunks

1 lb carrots, thickly sliced

Glaze:

2 tbsps ketchup

2 tbsps brown sugar

1 tsp worcestershire sauce

Mix everything from the ground beef to and including the pinch of baking soda, even getting your hands into it to make sure everything is well combined.

Form the meat into a loaf and place in the crock pot of the slow cooker. I used a 7 qt pot here.

Place the potatoes and carrots on either side of the loaf and season with salt and pepper if desired. Cover and cook on high for the first 30 minutes.

Then reduce heat to low and cook for 5 hours without lifting the lid. After 5 hours mix the glaze ingredients together and spread on top of the meatloaf. 

Cover and cook on high again for another 30 minutes.

Potatoes and carrots are now tender and the meatloaf perfectly glazed!

Let rest 5-10 minutes before slicing.
