Slow Cooked Meatloaf
2 pounds lean ground beef, pork, veal, or turkey
2 yellow onions, chopped
2 celery stalks, chopped
1 green bell pepper, stemmed, seeded, deveined, and chopped
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
2 eggs
1 cup finely diced bread
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 cup ketchup
Line the slow cooker with two sheets of aluminum foil for easy
removal of
the meatloaf. In a large bowl, combine the beef, onions, celery, bell
pepper, garlic, eggs and bread, and season with salt and pepper. Mix
well
with your hands and shape into an oblong loaf (or if you are using a
round
slow cooker, into a round loaf).
Place the loaf into the slow cooker and pour the ketchup evenly over
the
top. Cover and cook on low for 6 to 7 hours, until an instant-read
thermometer inserted into the center of the loaf registers 165
degrees and
the meat is browned.
Lift the meatloaf from the cooker by gently grasping the aluminum
foil and
pulling it out. Let it rest for about 20 minutes before slicing and
serving.
Serves 4.
