Slow Cooker Meatloaf and Vegetable Dinner

Ingredients

• 2 lb ground meat (Use your favorite ground meat.)
• 0.5 onion (Diced.)
• 0.5 cup whole milk
• 0.5 cup ketchup (Your favorite fancy ketchup.)
• 1 cup Ritz crackers (Crushed.)
• 2 packets onion soup mix
• 2 eggs (Whole.)
• parsley (Optional; add if you have it.)
• baby potatoes

• 1 cup ketchup (The creator used Heinz chili sauce instead.)
• 0.5 cup brown sugar

   Add the ground meat to a mixing bowl.

2. 2

   Add the diced onion, milk, and ½ cup ketchup to the bowl.

3. 3

   Add the crushed Ritz crackers, onion soup mix, and whole eggs. Add parsley if using.

4. 4

   Mix with hand mixers until the ingredients are thoroughly combined. Set the meat mixture aside.

5. 5

   Put the baby potatoes and baby carrots in the slow cooker.

6. 6

   Place the meat mixture on top of the vegetables and form it into a loaf.

7. 7

   In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup ketchup (or the creator's Heinz chili sauce), brown sugar, and Worcestershire sauce until combined.

8. 8

   Pour the glaze over the loaf and spread it to cover the top.

9. 9

   Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 6–8 hours, or until done.

10. 10

    Remove the lid. Serve portions of meatloaf with the cooked vegetables.

Notes

The source does not specify quantities for the baby potatoes or baby carrots. It gives a 6–8 hour low setting and says to cook until done, without a more specific doneness test. The creator uses Heinz chili sauce in place of the glaze's ketchup.
